Good Morning Room 13!

I hope you are all well.  I am just home from my longest run yet… 8km!! I ran down to the park and there are even more new baby ducks and swans! It was also lovely and quiet first thing in the morning.

Primary 7 please have a look at the link below.  Have any questions about High School?  This is the best place for them to be answered.

Okay your Tuesday Challenge comes with prizes today… and that is because I want to see how creative you can get,

Your Challenge: To build a tower which is the exact same height as you.

You can use any items you wish (from inside your house or outside in your garden).

Prizes will be awarded to:

1. The person who use the least amount of objects to build their tower (you must have a minimum of two objects).
2. The person who uses the most amount of objects to build their tower (make sure it can still stand on its own)
3. The most creative tower.

So three prizes on offer today!

Send me over your tower photos by email, no later than Friday and I will announce the winner on Friday Afternoon.

I’m sure these will be amazing! Good Luck!

HAPPY JUNE ROOM 13!

I cannot believe we are in to our final month of school! Where is the time going?  I hope you have all had a lovely weekend and had the chance to soak up loads of this amazing weather… I certainly did!  This is what my ‘office’ looked like yesterday 😀

Make sure you read right to the end of the blog for some information about the Tuesday Challenge tomorrow!

There have been some changes to the information we put out about Burnside’s Got Talent last week.  Videos now can have audio so if you would like to sing, dance / do gymnastic tricks with music in the background, play an instrument etc… please send in your entries!  Please read the information document below to find out how to submit your entry as this is slightly different too! Any changes have been highlighted in red.

Burnside’s Got Talent

As we enter our last few weeks of school, P7’s I will upload a transition activity for you have a go at.  If there is anything you are going to do this week I would highly recommend this being the one you try!  It will give you the chance to start getting your head around different high school activities and scenarios.  You can find this activity in the HWB section.

Remember all of these activities are only suggestions.  I am hoping for you to get the chance this week to spend loads of time outdoors!

• Splat! (Garden Version) – Choose a times table and write the products on different sheets of paper and spread them around your garden.  Get a parent/carer/sibling to test you.  How quickly can you answer 20 questions correctly?
• Sumdog / Study Ladder
• JUMP! (Family Edition) Get your family involved with an outdoor game of JUMP!
• Translation of Shapes (Mild)
• Translation of Shapes (Spicy)
• Translation of Shapes (Hot)
• Money Word Problems
• Maths Mystery Challenge

• Spelling Words
• Silly Sentences
• Sensory spelling – can you find items in your house or out in your garden and use them to spell out your words?
• Throw & Catch – Throw a ball to a partner or against a wall shouting out a letter each time, to spell each of your words.

• Toppsta Reading Pack
• Continue to read The Explorer or your own personal reader.  Remember to try read aloud at least twice a week to practice your fluency with reading.
• Newsround – Have a look at the news article about the Space launch that happened over the weekend.

• Newspaper Template
• Primary 7 – Use the newspaper article template above to write an article about your time in P7.  Think about selecting some key events and draw the reader in with a catchy headline!
• Primary 6 – Use the newspaper article template above to write and article about safety in the sun.  Try and gather some key facts about staying safe outdoors and make some recommendations about ways people can stay safe during summer.
• Calligraphy PowerPoint
• Calligraphy Handwriting Activities

• High School Transition Activities
• Design your own website
• In this weather, ice lollies are a must!!! Try and find a tasty ice lolly recipe to follow or interesting flavour to try.  If you find any good ones send them over to me!
• Happy helpers… I know everyone wants to just sit and relax in the sun but that doesn’t mean we stop helping around at home!  Why not help outside?
• Watch Newsround each day and take the quiz at the end of the week.

• PE Challenges
• Joe Wicks every morning at 9am
• Garden Games – try creating your own game outside.  Write up the instructions and send them over and I can share with the class.
• Cosmic Yoga & Go Noodle
• Walk it out – Make sure you are still getting out for a bit of exercise everyday.  If it is super hot, try going out early in the morning or in the evening when it has cooled down a little!

***Finally P7, we need your help with suggestions for a song to play in the background of your P7 slideshow.  Any suggestions? Send them over!***

Let’s have an amazing week.  Remember a special Tuesday Challenge tomorrow with PRIZES for my top 3 winners.  It is not a race though so don’t panic about getting it done the quickest… it will require some planning!

Have an amazing week, missing you all loads!

Remember to check in with me throughout the week and if you need anything just leave a comment or send me an email.

Speak soon,

HAPPY FRIDAY ROOM 13! 🌈

I hope you have all had a lovely week and have spent most of your time outside enjoying this beautiful weather.  I am definitely a little more red than I was on Monday!

P7s please check your Glow email 🙂

This is your weekly check in station, leave me a comment to let me know what you’ve been up to over the past few days.  Remember you can also check in via email if your prefer. I thought for a change I would show you what I’ve been doing this week!  I had a super long walk over the golf course on Tuesday, with Nyla,  as it was the last day it was open to the public! I also went down to Rouken Glen park to see the gorgeous new baby ducks and swans. Finally we held an online baby shower for one of my best friends who is going to have her baby very soon!!!

Okay so your Tuesday Challenge (on a Thursday) this week is nice and simple, I think you deserve a rest after your efforts of last weeks challenge!!!

Can you find me 10 items in your house beginning with the letter….

 

 

Leave me your lists in the comments or send me a photo of your finds!

I am also thinking I might do something special with next weeks challenge.  Prizes for the top 3 perhaps???

Anyways I am off to sit in the garden and do some work today.

Hope you are all safe and healthy at home.

Speak soon,

Miss M x

Welcome Back Room 13!

I hope you have all had a lovely long weekend.  The weather was a little bit all over the place, but it looks like the sun has come back to join us!  Thank you for all the lovely birthday messages to pass on to my sister, she had a wonderful day and we ate lots and LOTS of cake!

Please check your emails, I have sent you over the video of last weeks Tuesday Challenge.  A HUGE thank you to everyone who got involved, I cannot believe how amazing the end product was.  Mr Campbell and Mr Miller were very impressed and I am hoping Mrs McGarvey will also share it on Twitter too!

I’ve decided to do a Thursday Challenge to break up the week, so keep your eyes peeled on the blog.

Please also have a look at the link below, the whole school is starting to plan for Burnside’s Got Talent.  The link below is just to give you some information about the competition, anyone wishing to take part can submit their video entry to me by email over the next two weeks.

Burnside’s Got Talent

Work for this week is slightly different, as it is only a 4 day week and you have your challenge to do on Thursday.

I have uploaded some Maths and Literacy worksheets for you to work through (rather than textbook pages and comprehension passages) for a bit of a change from the usual work.  All of the worksheets, when you click on them, have a mild, spicy and hot version (you can see the level of difficulty at the bottom of the page, they are represented by stars).

One last thing I need your help with!  I would love to put together a big Room 13 collage with everyone in the class holding a sign saying either:

•    Room 13

Class of 2020

OR

• Burnside Primary School

Class of 2020

(These are just suggestions, you can choose your own wording if you like!)

But I need your help with the design!  Can you create a poster with either of these titles.  Now it doesn’t need to be on one line, ideally I would like it to fill the whole page, so design it how you like.  However, you know me… BIG, BOLD AND COLOURFUL please!  Send me over your pictures of your designs and I will choose one to send out to everyone.

Let’s have an amazing week, it was great to hear from almost EVERYONE in the class last week, well done!  As always, anything I can do to help please leave a comment on the blog or send me an email.  Also, let me know what you think of the Tuesday Challenge video when you have watched it!

Keep safe and healthy everyone, missing you all lots!

Good Morning Room 13!

I hope you have all had a lovely week and are looking forward to the weekend.  Here is your check-in station for this week.  Are you up to anything nice over the long weekend?  I’m hoping for some lovely weather over the next few days!

Last couple of days for you to send in your Tuesday Challenge videos!  Thank you to those who have already submitted theirs 🙂

Another thank you to those who sent over Thank A Teacher pictures posters… all the teachers loved them!

Well… I am off to enjoy some family time today.  It is my little sister’s birthday today and look how we are celebrating!!

Enjoy the long weekend and we will kick things back off with another Tuesday Challenge next week.

Hope you are all keeping safe and healthy at home.

Missing you lots,

Miss M x

Goooood Morning Room 13! 🥰

I hope you all had a lovely weekend.  I wanted to start off by reminding you of how proud I am of you and how well you have been doing during this very strange time.  Please remember it is okay to have good and bad days, we all have them!  I am hoping the weather picks up a little bit this week so we can get ourselves outside lots over the next few days! ❤️

Now this Friday and next Monday are a holiday so we will do our check-in station on Thursday and will dive straight in with a Tuesday challenge next week! 😁

Have a look at all your amazing work from last week.  Open this up and run it as a PowerPoint Presentation… enjoy!

Room 13’s Amazing Work

I have a special Tuesday challenge for you tomorrow, so keep your eyes peeled on the blog!  You do not need to rush this one as I need your help to film something, send it over to me, so I can put it together and share it with you on Friday.  I won’t say anymore than that just now…

I have tried to balance written and active tasks this week.  I think it was quite difficult going from our Lock Down Lockerbie tasks, straight back into online learning.  So I have tried my best to include a mixture of activities this week and hopefully there are things in there that you will enjoy!

P7’s remember to keep checking this link for lots of information from Stonelaw High School!

http://www.stonelaw.s-lanark.sch.uk/Pupils/P7-Transition/

• SPECIAL TASK! Wednesday is National Thank A Teacher Day and I would like us to spread some Room 13 love to some of the amazing teachers who helped us this year.  I need you to make the most colourful poster to thank a teacher!  It could be Mr Campbell, Mrs McGarvey, Miss Mailley, Mrs Harkins, Mrs Russell (just some suggestions!)  Send me your photos and I will email them on to the teacher.  I think this would be really special and something they would love to receive… especially since they haven’t seen you in so long!

Remember to check in with me throughout the week and send me over photos of your work!

Missing you all loads and will speak soon,
