T3: Week 2 – Home learning (27.04.20)

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well and you have had a fun weekend in the sunshine.

I have managed to do some gardening and I am delighted that my plants that I’ve grown from seeds are almost ready to go out into pots in the garden. Has anyone else managed to plant any seeds? I also took Noya for a lovely walk along the Clyde Walkway. It was really beautiful and the River Clyde was so clean.

             

I have put together a timetable of activities for this week. Remember that these are just suggestions and you can choose the order and the number that you complete.  If you have any questions or need any help with anything please get in touch.  I am always happy to hear from you! I also love seeing the work you are doing.

NOTE: If you email anything through to me remember to let me know if you are happy for it to be in the ‘Celebrating Room 14’ post on a Friday. Or if you want to share it on the Burnside Primary twitter page you can ask an adult at home to email it to gw18burnsidephotos@glow.sch.uk.

Earth Day

Hi Room 14,

How are you all today?

Did you know that today is Earth Day?

 

Why not make a pledge for Earth Day 2020 and pin it up somewhere at home. My pledge for this year is to walk more and use my car less.

 

Or you could design a poster and display it in your window at home. Here are some amazing posters to inspire you designed by artists around the world.

Or have a look at this website. There are lots of different activities to choose from. Remember to send me photos of your posters or activities.

Have a great Earth Day!

Ps: Remember to look out for the Wednesday Challenge at 1pm.

Term 3: Week 1 (20.4.20) Home Learning

Hi everyone,

I hope you and your families are all well and managed to have fun during the spring break.

It’s strange still to be at home but it’s also important to keep everyone safe. In the meantime, I will be posting a weekly timetable with resources and will also add in some videos, challenges and photos to brighten up your week. Some of you have sent me photographs of the things you were doing before the break and I will put these together on the blog for you all to see.  

During the break I read lots of books and made sure I got outside for exercise and fresh air everyday. Let me know what you have been doing and how you are all feeling. Its always great to hear from you all.

This weeks timetable is in the link below. Remember that you can choose  the number of activities and the order you complete these depending on your access to a study space and the internet. If you have any questions or difficulty accessing any of the resources please let me know. 

Timetable –  Term 3 Week 1 20.4.20

Stay safe and have a great week!

Wednesday Challenge

Hi everyone!

Hope you are all having a good day. Did anyone play an April Fools trick today? Let me know in the comments if you have a funny story.

Today’s challenge is to take a photograph of:

  1. A rainbow ( remember there are lots in neighbour’s windows or your own)
  2.  Signs of spring ( maybe buds or blossoms, or spring flowers)
  3.  A book you love
  4.  Trees
  5. Clouds

Email me your photos anytime today and we can fill the blog with them.

I will post my photos for the challenge too.

Good luck!

If you don’t have a camera you could decorate stones like Faith has done. Faith has placed these in the local area. Let me know if you see them.
