Good Morning Everyone!

I hope you are all having a lovely week!

Just a few pieces of information for you to know about with upcoming blog posts.

Remember tomorrow is our Feedback Friday and I would love to share some of the work you guys have done this week!  Take a picture of some of the things you have done this week (whether its written work or something creative outside!) and send it over to me so I can share it with the rest of Room 13 😀

I will also be doing a check in tomorrow and Monday.  Myself, Mr Campbell and Mrs McGarvey would love to hear from EVERYONE in the class!  It might just be a quick hello, commented on the blog or a check-in email with me to let me know how you are getting on.

You guys have done so well and it has been amazing to hear from so many of you already, however there are a couple of people who I haven’t heard from so I would love to speak to you!

I will put up a blog post tomorrow and Monday and I am asking for all of you to simply put a Hi, Hello! or a little comment about how you are underneath the post.  We want to make sure everyone is doing well at home and to let us know if there is anything we can do to help!

So spread the word and let’s try and get EVERY SINGLE member of Room 13 to comment tomorrow or Monday!

Missing you all lots and will speak soon,

Miss M x

Good Morning Room 13!

I hope you all had a lovely day yesterday and getting back into online learning wasn’t too much of a struggle!

Thank you to everyone who messaged or checked in with me yesterday, it was lovely to hear from you.  Remember if you want to check in I will be checking the blog and my emails every day.

Okay… back to your Tuesday Challenges! These were done SO WELL before Easter so let’s see if we can keep that up!

YOUR CHALLENGE TODAY:

You have to find TEN ITEMS in your house, as quickly as you can, beginning with the letter…

Comment with your list or email me a photo of the items you find 🙂

GOOD LUCK!

HELLO EVERYONE!! 😀

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter Holiday.  I can’t believe how quickly those two weeks passed… but I can’t wait to hear what you all got up to.  It has been FAR TOO QUIET without you!

So first of all I thought I would share some of the things I got up to over the Easter Holidays and if you look in the Writing tasks for this week, I would love to hear what you have been doing over the last fortnight.

So the first thing is I did A LOT of baking! A Victoria sponge cake, carrot cake cupcakes and a white chocolate and Daim bar cheesecake! To balance that out I have done lots of exercise in the garden and big long walks with Nyla.  I have done two 5K runs and a PE training course (online with Miss McAvoy!) to help me with my football! I’ve washed the car even though it’s not going very far at the moment.  I’ve continued reading the Explorer and I am almost half way through. Finally I spent a night camping in the garden with Nyla! ❤️

YOUR FIRST TASK… can you all please log into Glow and check your email.  I have sent you a VERY special challenge for this week!

So… back to online learning! It will remain the same as the past, a range of activities for you to choose from and a fun Tuesday Challenge for you to take part in 😀  Try to get yourself back into the routine of online learning, by using the ‘Weekly Timetable Template’ to plan your week!

I am going to ease you back into maths this week so the focus for each group will be the same as the week before we finished for the Easter Holidays.

• BMBT
• Daily 10
• Triangles – 3dx2d Worksheet (2)
• Squares – Multi Addition Worksheet (2)
• Circles – Money Addition Worksheet (2)
• Rectangles 3d-3d Worksheet (2)

Now P7 (only), some of you started the Stonelaw Maths booklet with me just before we stopped.  My plan is to upload the first and second activity (which some of you have already done).. If you have not started this can you please compelete the activites in your jotter.  Try exercises A and B first… if you find them okay, then try exercise C.  If you did do this with me in class, could you try and do this again, by yourself and see if you can complete exercises A, B and C and try to do it a little quicker this time!

Stonelaw Maths (Exercise 1)

Stonelaw Maths (Exercise 2)

• Continue reading the Explorer – I am half way though the book and I am really enjoying it!
• Create a character profile for a character of your choice.  Draw your interpretation of the character and then write descriptive words for your chosen character around them.

SPELLING WORDS FOR EACH GROUP: Common Words (spelling)

This is consolidation of common words that you may come across, so please feel free to challenge yourselves by learning a different groups and your own!

• Dictionary definitions
• Rainbow Writing
• Speed Writing

WRITING

• Write a recount of your Easter Holidays – lots of detail please!  You could even type this up on a Word Document and add a nice border or some pictures.
• Write a summary of ‘The Explorer’ so far, remember this should only talk about the KEY POINTS of the book.

• Make sure you are being super helpful around the house!  Try and do at least two tasks around the house to help your family.
• Watch Newsround each day and take the quiz at the end of the week.
• Now I stole this idea from a pupil in Room 14! They have designed positivity pebbles and have placed these all around Burnside!  I would love for you to give this a try and see if you can spot any others around the town whilst you are out on a walk.

 

• Make sure you have checked your emails for a VERY SPECIAL challenge for this week!  Its a running based activity!
• Joe Wicks every morning at 9am
• Keep checking South Lanarkshire Active Schools page on Twitter for a new challenge every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Our focus this week is going to be the Olympics.

Your job is to research how many times the USA has held the Olympics and create an information leaflet which has at least 10 facts about the Olympics in the USA.

You may want to focus on one Olympics or you may want to look at all of them!

I have also added a USA word search for you to try 🙂

USA wordsearch

Although we are not back in class, I can’t wait to catch up with you all!  Please make sure you are keeping in touch during the week, I love hearing from you!

Any questions please just let me know, I will be checking the blog and my emails every day.

Let’s have an amazing week everyone 😀

Happy Easter Room 13!

Just wanted to pop on and say hello!  I hope you are all enjoying this (slightly different) Easter break 🙂

Can’t wait to hear what you’ve managed to get up to over the holidays.

Hope you are all safe and healthy!

It’s the Easter Holidays!!!

Good Morning Room 13, so today we would be in class and doing all things Easter related before I send you off for a 2 week holiday.  Oh how times have changed!

I am going to start of this blog post by sharing some of your amazing work this week.  Then, underneath I have added a few challenges (set by pupils in the class) in case you want some things to keep you busy over the holidays.  Of course, there is no set work for you to do and you do not have to do the challenges if you don’t want to!  However, as we are limited with what we can do and where we can go… I thought it would be nice to give you some ideas of things to keep you busy!

Okay so over to you guys… have a look at some of the amazing things you have done this week!

Some amazing maths, science-fiction stories, President Presentations, outdoor learning and some art work too!

I loved seeing all your Room 13 Rainbows!

And you all got super creative for your Tuesday Challenge!! One pupil even made a Rainbow Tree and put a teddy bear in it for the P1 pupils to find on their bear hunt!

Okay challenge time… I will try my best to do as many of these as I can!  Thank you to everyone who put forward a challenge for Room 13 to try over the holidays!

Football Challenge:  Can you complete this challenge?  I am working on my keepy ups just now and I am trying my best to complete this by the end of the holidays!

Thank Our Heroes Challenge:  One pupil suggested we make posters to thank our front line workers who are keeping us all safe and sound!

Let’s Get Cooking: One pupil suggested that you trying baking an Easter themed cake for you and the family.  I love baking so I am definitely going to try this one!

Talking Is Important:  One pupil said ‘remember it is important to keep talking to one another’ and I couldn’t agree more!  I have attached an emotional check in sheet that you may want to use for yourself or your whole family to make sure everyone is feeling okay.  Remember we have our Microsoft Teams page where you can continue to talk to one another 🙂

And finally some pupils had asked if we could do some STEM challenges.  Now I have a couple organised for after the Easter Holidays.  However think about the STEM challenges we have already done in class or use the pictures below to think up your own challenges and you can share these with your family or with the class through Teams.

It has been amazing to see all your fantastic pieces of work this week, I have been so impressed with your hard work and commitment!

I hope you have a great Easter Holiday, try to keep yourself busy but most importantly stay safe and healthy.  I can’t wait to hear what you get up to!

Sending lots of love to you and your family.  Missing you lots!

Speak Soon,

Miss M x

What have you been up to this week so far? Let me know!  I spoke to so many of you yesterday, it was lovely to hear from you 😁 Missing you lots though 😔

Your Tuesday challenge submissions were great yesterday! So many different items found around your house and garden to make a rainbow!

Speaking of rainbows please remember to get your ROOM 13 RAINBOW up in your window and send me a picture of it so I can put them all together over the weekend… here’s mine!

All the answers to the maths worksheets will be posted on the blog on Friday in case anyone wants to mark the work they have done!

Stay safe everyone and keep me posted with everything you are doing ☺️

Miss you lots!

Gooooooooooood Morning Room 13!

Time for another Tuesday Challenge!  I have already done mine this morning… you can see my challenge photo at the bottom of this post.

Some rules for this one!

1. You cannot have the same item in different colours (e.g. you cannot have 3 different fruits… that would be to easy!)
2. You cannot use any of the items you used in the challenge last week.
3. It’s another lovely day… so take your items outside to get a photo!

YOUR TUESDAY CHALLENGE:

To collect an item of each colour from the list below and display them like a rainbow.  All across the UK, the rainbow is being used as a way to show each other that we are thinking about them, even though we can’t see them.  Let’s be a little creative with this one!

You need to find:

• An item that is red
• An item that is pink
• An item that is orange
• An item that is yellow
• An item that is green
• An item that is light blue
• An item that is dark blue
• An item that is purple

GOOD LUCK!

Remember… be as creative as you can!
