This is your final week at Burnside Primary!! Can you believe it?!
I know that some of you will be feeling sad and the idea of leaving might seem a bit scary especially because it has not been the P7 you all expected or the one that we had planned! However, you are ready for high school and as your class teacher I could not be prouder of you all. You have coped so well during this difficult time and you worked hard keeping yourself busy. You have also made me smile everyday with your emails and photos.
It has been an absolute pleasure to be your class teacher this year!
I am looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday! Remember to check the times for your visit on the school app. Also, if you haven’t sent me a P1 photo or a photo of you in your leavers hoodie please email it by the end of today.
Take care
Ms McGuinness 😊🌈
I have attached some fun activities for you this week. Enjoy!
How are you? I hope you enjoyed the sunshine yesterday. Can you believe that it is the last full week of Primary School?
I hope that you can enjoy this week as there are lots of exciting things happening! It’s Sports Week and although we can’t all be together for it Mr Campbell has put together some fun activities for you to do with your family. It’s also Burnside’s Got Talent Week! I know that you are all a talented bunch so I hope that some of you have made a video to share on the school twitter page. This week you are also getting the chance to visit your high school if you are going to Stonelaw or Cathkin. It really is a busy week!
Remember to send me a P1 photo of you and also a video sharing some of your memories from Burnside or your plans for future!
This week there are less activities because you have so many other exciting things going on. As always, you can choose the order and number of tasks you complete depending on your access to a quiet space and the internet. Remember to email if you need any help with anything.

I hope you have had a good weekend! I spent yesterday afternoon with my parents which was really lovely. We sat in camp chairs, 2 metres apart, in their garden in the sunshine. I hope you got to see people, from a safe distance, who you have been missing too.

Welcome back! It’s week 4 already! I hope you have had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the extra two days break from school work.
It was great to see so many of you last week especially as you all look happy and healthy. Thank you to so many of you who sent through photos of your virtual Lockerbie activities and you wearing your leaver hoodies. They all made me smile. If you haven’t sent a photo through yet there is still time, it would be great to have photos of all the P7s! Also if you would like to add a song to the P7 playlist you can let me know before Thursday.
If you are going to Stonelaw High School in August then keep an eye on this page for transition information which is starting today 11 May –

This week you will continue to focus on Algebra. If you have worked your way through last weeks resources then you should try the following:
Task 1 & 2 – Look at the algebra video and resources on https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zghp34j
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.
I have included algebra tasks for you again this week. If you haven’t had a chance to complete the algebra activities from last week please do them first before moving on to these ones.
I have included some activities on probability for you this week. Read the information at the top of each page before completing the task. Remember to email me if I can help you with anything.
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.
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.
We are now in week 2 of home learning and I hope you are all managing to adjust to the big changes. I am thinking of you all and missing your chatter (honestly) and smiling faces! It’s a tricky time and I know you will have found it difficult to get into a routine. I know I have!
Thanks to those who have sent me an email – it is always great to hear from you. Please remember to keep checking your emails regularly and let me know how you are.
This week I have created a timetable of activities for you all. This will also be emailed to you. If you are able to complete the tasks or activities suggested that is great. If however, it is difficult for you to complete the tasks this week for whatever reason then please don’t worry.
I have only uploaded resources for your tasks for Monday. I will add other resources on Tuesday and Wednesday.
