Hello,
This is your Check-in Station for this week. I’ve posted it early because this weekend is a bank holiday.
It’s great to find out how you are all doing so please remember to check-in this week especially if you forgot to do it last week. You can just say a quick hi or you can let everyone know what you have been doing. If you don’t want to post to the blog remember you can always email me let me know how you are.
Stay safe
Ms McGuinness 😊
Hello everyone!
We are in Week 3 and this would have been our residential week at Lockerbie Manor! I know that you are all so sad that you are missing it, I am too. I was so looking forward to spending time with you all outside the classroom. However, Miss McKinnon, Mr Campbell and I are determined to make this week lots of fun with virtual Lockerbie Activities. The Wednesday Challenge should also make you smile as you will get to chose a challenge that I will do too. The more who take part the worse my challenge will be ! What am I letting myself in for! More will be revealed on Wednesday!
The key thing this week is to have as much fun as you can, connect with your classmates and to share photos and videos with your adult’s permission with me so that I can put together a virtual Lockerbie slideshow. The more you share the better it will be. I will also put together a Primary 7 playlist for you to listen to and maybe you can organise a silent disco/video disco with it at home!
The suggested timetable below also contains maths and literacy activities and as always you can choose the number and order which you complete them in. Remember that Thursday and Friday are school holidays so the timetable is only for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Can’t wait to hear from you all. Have a fun week!
Take care,
Ms McGuinness

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.

Lots of you said Gaylord Nelson for answer 3 which was close. However, although it was idea, it was actually Denis Hayes who organised the first event. If you want to read more about Earth Day’s history you can have a look here – https://www.earthday.org/history/

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.
