Good morning Girls & Boys,
Miss Ferry has uploaded a fantastic Under the Sea virtual school trip for her class to go on.
As it’s our topic this term I’ve copied the link below for you to go explore.

Have fun 😃

Good morning Girls and Boys,
I hope you are all well and had a lovely long weekend with your families.
I’m sure many of you will have heard the update on the plan for schools to reopen in August after the summer holidays. The news really did make me smile and while it might be bit different from what we are used to, it will just be great to be back with each other in person again.
As Mrs Mirner said we will be now be posting two posts each Monday with your weekly tasks. Don’t worry you are not getting double the work but it just seemed an easier way for us to manage how we set your jobs while still allowing you to get all of your work at the start of the week. So please make sure to always check both posts.
I have set out some some tasks for the week below but as always please don’t worry if you don’t manage to get everything done.
Remember a good structure for each day might look something like this;
Literacy:
Keep reading either using the Oxford Owl tile on Glow, your own personal reading books or this free book website that I had share before.
https://readon.myon.co.uk/library/browse.html
I have been loving the Talk for Writing units that Mrs Mirner has been setting for you and it seems from the comments that many of you have been enjoying them too. Here is the last ones for this block (hopefully they upload more soon). Please work your way through at your own pace however you may need help from an adult with some of it.
Ròs, Rowlings and Dahl – a non fiction text about rainbows.
shttps://www.talk4writing.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Y2-Rainbows.pdf
Kinneys – a story about a Pirate Princess.
https://www.talk4writing.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Y1-Sayeeda.pdf
Please see the attached tabs at the top for this weeks spelling words. Try to practise your words every day and if they can get an adult to test you on Friday. Remember to use a variety of active spelling strategies to hep you learn them.
If you are able to print off I’ve attached a word search for each group below too. You might want to even make your own for someone in your family once you’ve completed this one.
Pencils and Rubbers ‘ou’ word search
Pens and Crayons ‘th’ word search
Verbs worksheet. Remember Verbs are doing words such as ‘run’ or ‘talk’. They can be followed by ‘ing’ or ‘ed’ but remember that just gives the verb it’s tense. For example ‘running’ is something I’m doing now (present tense) whereas ‘talked’ is something I did before (past tense). Its been a while since we have done any work on verbs so I’ve attached 3 different worksheet. You can choose what one you do but remember its always good to challenge yourself so don’t be doing one that you find too easy. However at the same time if your finding it too tricky then please choose another one. The answers are attached so no peaking until your finished.
l-53855-ks1-using-verbs-differentiated-activity-sheet_ver_6
Remember there are Literacy tasks set by Mrs Mirner on Studyladder.
Numeracy:
Mental maths
3D shape
All groups – Outdoor 3D shape booklet
Money

If you need any help with anything this week then just as always just let us know.
Stay safe and keep on working hard girls and boys – we are all very proud of you.
Lots of love

Hello Girls & Boys,
I hope you are all well and finally today and tomorrow it looks like we will have some sunshine ☀️ so make sure you are out enjoying it!
I promised some of you a story about an incident involving Lubo this past weekend so here it is…
On Saturday he was out with his daddy on an early morning walk up a hill. All was going well and Lubo was loving life running up and down as well as taking in all the lovely smells. They were almost at the top of this very big hill when they passed a field of sheep. Now as you know Lubo is a bit cheeky but he’s been on lots of walks like this before, passed lots of sheep and other farm animals and never bothered. But there was something about Saturday that was different, he had a very cheeky glint in his eye. Just as they were passing the sheep, he stopped and stared and then moved a bit closer. His daddy thought about putting him back on his lead but then thought “no he’ll be fine, he’s seen lots of sheep and never done anything” and called him back. Lubo didn’t answer. Lubo moved a bit closer again and again didn’t answer when called. Before his daddy could even think of getting his lead back on him he was off. Off like a shot! He went into full flight, chasing the 6 sheep and 1 ram all the way down the hill. Lubo is quick but who knew sheep were quicker? They managed to stay about a meter ahead of Lubo the whole time and just ran and ran. They were obviously scared of him 😢 The sheep ran towards the farm house which by this time his daddy could see two giant bulls close by. Robert was calling on him at the top of his voice but he just wouldn’t come back. He too then had to run down the side of this huge hill to try and get him back, falling as he went, but Lubo was gone.
10 minutes passed and he couldn’t find him anywhere. As you can imagine Robert was getting really worried that something had happened to Lubo especially because he had seen the bulls. He was just about to phone me to break the terrible news when he saw this tiny grey speck appear at the very bottom of the hill. He kept shouting “Lubo” and the speck started to get a bit bigger until such times as he was standing right in front of his daddy covered in sheep poo and twigs 💩 😂 While Robert was very cross with him and put him straight on the lead, he did feel the biggest relief ever that he came back. He didn’t speak to him the rest of the way home but his real punishment came in the form of the longest bath ever (which he hates) to get all the poo and twigs off him! I think he might think twice about doing that again!
What a drama eh? Have your pets ever done anything as naughty?
Lubo was very cheeky and guess we now know that he can’t ever be full trusted to walk off the lead even up a huge hill with no one else a round! He is not an aggressive dog at all so I know he wouldn’t have hurt the sheep but I think he just thought it was a game of chase or maybe he was auditioning for the role of a sheep dog? Who knows! All we know is we were very lucky something worse didn’t happen and thankfully all the sheep were fine too!
Here is a picture of the bold boy before the drama unfolded
Anyway less about Lubo, he’ll be thinking he’s famous! Mrs McGarvey had put a message on the app which I imagine a lot of you and your parents would have seen. It asked that you share an act of kindness that you have done . It might be helping a younger brother or sister with their school work or tidying your room or even just saying something kind to another person. If you can think of something then please share what it was when you are popping on to say hello.
As always if you have any pictures of you undertaking home learning or of your act of kindness, and you would like to share them then please send them to the following email address;
gw18burnsidephotos@glow.sch.uk
As this weekend is a holiday weekend (Friday & Monday) please if you can say hello either today or tomorrow.
Take care and enjoy the ☀️
Lots of love
Mrs Graham xx
Good morning girls and boys?
I just wanted to pop on to say hello and see how you all are? I hope you’ve been well and still being kept busy with the home learning tasks being set for you.
Mani and Lubo have been keeping me busy along with writing all your reports. It has actually been really lovely because let’s face it, you are all pretty great in room 6 aren’t you?
If you can pop on to say hello either today or tomorrow to this post or Mrs Mirner’s check in yesterday then that would be great!
Have a lovely day and speak soon.
Mrs Graham x
PS this was Mani making the most of some wood in the garden. He was very upset when his daddy had to actually use it 😢 Least we know what he’ll be asking Santa for this year ! Lol x
Good morning girls and boys,
I hope you are all well and being kept busy with all the great activities set for you on Studyladder. It’s meant to be lovely and ☀️ the next couple of days so hopefully you are able to enjoy some of it outside.
Given its a shorter school week this week this is your chance to pop on and say hello, just so we know you are all OK. We really are missing you lots!
Mani was busy in the garden last weekend helping his daddy build some things. I think I might have my very own Bob the Builder on my hands 👷🏼♂️. He was a bit cheeky tho as he kept hiding some of his daddy’s tools in his playhouse and it took us ages to find them! He said he had a bit of DIY to do himself but I don’t know so much, what do you think?
Lots of love
Mrs Graham x
Good morning girls and boys,
I hope you are all well this week. It’s great to hear from Mrs Mirner about all the people that have requested their Studyladder login so far. It’s a brilliant resource to keep you all busy and learning while all the time having fun too.
As you know Mrs Graham and Mani are big John Lewis fans so I was excited the other day when I came across this competition to design a superhero bear that that will be made and sold in stores later on in the year. I thought some of you might want to give it a go and enter. How amazing would it would be if it was a winning Burnside bear? 🐻
I’ve attached links below with details of how you enter as well as the template. I believe the closing date is 5pm on the 8th May.
Good luck and keep me posted.
Love Mrs Graham x

Hi girls and boys,
Following on from Mrs McGarvey’s message on the school app, this is your weekly ‘Check-in Station’ .
We want to keep in touch with everyone so we are asking each pupil (with parental help) to post a message below, just to say hello. Many of you have already been in touch but I’d love to hear from all of you.
It would be great if you could pop on to say hello either today (Thursday) or tomorrow (Friday).
I’ll leave it up to Mani to be the first…
As always take care and hopefully hear from you all soon.
Love Mrs Graham xx
Good morning girls and boys,
Hope you are all well.
Miss Muir found this great resource where you can access free books.
https://readon.myon.co.uk/library/browse.html
It looks fab and super easy to use with no account or login required. Some of the text can be quite small so might be easier to read on a larger screen.
Happy reading guys and have a lovely day ☀️
Mrs Graham xx
Good morning everyone and welcome back 👋👋👋
I hope you’ve all had a lovely spring break and I imagine your still working your way through all that chocolate if the Easter bunny visited your home! Mani has had a lovely time. We got him a new playhouse for the garden which he loves and spends most of his day just opening and closing the door, lol. The Easter bunny actually left some eggs in it for him but i’ll be honest it was a bit of a disaster!! Lubo was very cheeky that Easter morning and decided to jump through the open window of his playhouse to steal them all before Mani could get any 🙈 Oh well I guess a baby shouldn’t really be eating too much chocolate anyway although neither should a dog 🤭 Thank goodness we caught him before he could eat them all 😂.
This week sees the start of term 3 and while it still feels very strange to not be welcoming you back in school, Mrs Graham and Mrs Mirner will do our best to give you enough work to keep you busy and learning, as well as still having time for lots of fun. Most of what we will set you will build on what you already know and if there is the odd new thing, say for example a new times table or spelling rule then it should be straight froward enough for you to learn using strategies you already know and use. We will continue to set most of your work for the week on a Monday to allow you to choose when is best for you to do it however it is likely that Mrs Mirner might add some extra learning on a Thursday or Friday too.
Remember a good structure for each day might look like this;
As always this is a balance for us all and each of your families’ situations are different so please just do what you can. Don’t worry if you don’t get all the activities completed, we know you are all trying your best.
This weeks learning tasks are as follows;
Literacy:
Dahls, Rowlings & Roz comprehension task 1 GR_Angry_Cat
Maths:
Multiplication Traingles & Squares
Again if you have a printer and are able to print off these sheets then that might be easier for you to complete. Don’t worry if not as you can just write the answers into your home learning jotter. Also don’t worry too much about the setting out either, just do what you can and try to remember how we would do this in class.
Other:
As before there are plenty of cross curricular activities that you can do online throughout each day, here is a reminder of just some of them.
Remember there are also activities and games on the blogs from previous weeks, which if your still enjoying should keep on doing, as some of them are great for consolidating previous learning.
The weather is to be lovely all week so if you have a garden make sure your spending lots of time there, you might even want to do some of your home learning tasks outside. If you don’t have a garden then make sure your managing to keep active at home as well as enjoying your daily outdoor walk/exercise.
If you need any help with any of the activities Mrs Graham has set for you then just let me know as I will be checking the blog each day.
As always stay safe and take of yourselves.
Love Mrs Graham xx
PS This was Mani helping write your blog for this week 😂😂.
. 
Happy holidays girls and boys 🐣
Thank you for all your hard work this term both in school and at home. We are very proud of you all and hope you take this time to relax.
Just like Mani…he’s defo in the holiday mood!
We are looking forward to hearing all about what you have been up to in a couple weeks and hope the Easter bunny is good to you all. Remember to stay safe, take care of yourselves and of course have lots of fun!
Love
Mrs Graham & Mrs Mirner xx
