Have a lovely morning

Good Morning P4!

This morning’s tasks are:

Handwriting

Using cursive writing, write 3 sentences about:

1. Something I have enjoyed learning about this week and why?
2. Something I have enjoyed doing this week and why?
3. How I have been feeling this week.

Literacy

Today, we are going to be thinking about ‘Paragraphs’.

1. Look at the Paragraph PPT to find out what a paragraph is and when they are used. Paragraphs PPT
2. Choose a fruit or a vegetable and write a description of it using paragraphs, considering size, shape, colour and texture. Remember a paragraph is used for each new piece of information. I would also like to see at least a couple of sentences for each paragraph and use of descriptive language.

Maths

Today we are going to use our knowledge of fractions/division to work out sums to colour in and find a picture.

Remember a fraction is made up with a ‘Numerator’ (the top part of a fraction and tells us how many pieces we have) and a ‘Denominator’ (the bottom part of a fraction that shows how many it is cut into).  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orI0oL9_q9c

Good Afternoon everyone.

Some French this afternoon. Two videos to choose from to learn about parts of the body.

Using the vocabulary cards to practice or make your own to help you. Can you complete the labelling activity about the face. French-Body-Parts-Powerpoint

French-Body-Parts-Vocabulary cards                    French-Parts of the Face labelling

Finally can you use the French words to describe what parts of your body you are using during todays Virtual Sports?

Have fun.

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you’ve had an enjoyable morning.

Our tasks this afternoon are Art and Virtual Sports’Day.  Mrs Lafferty has posted her activity for you all on the main school blog.  Please remember to email any photos or videos to the main school email address so Mrs Lafferty can include your score for your house points.

Our art task is looking at geometric shapes and creating a monochrome (one colour) picture.  Here are some examples:

You don’t need to use these shapes though, you can choose as complex or as simple a shape as you’d like.  It works really well in paint but coloured pencils or crayons will also give you an excellent effect, felt tip pens might be a bit harder unless you have lots of shades of the same colour.

This is another version you can try if you’d like a bit more of a challenge:

We’re looking forward to seeing all your creations – lots of photos please.

Good afternoon boys and girls!

Well done to all the ones who have posted their work to their Personal Learning Blogs and have let me know about it. It is much appreciated!😃

For the afternoon, we have a beautiful RE task about The Fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Task 1 – The Fruits of the Holy Spirit

First, you will need to watch the Powerpoint and after that you will have a worksheet with some questions to answer about it. As always, if you can’t print it, don’t worry and just write the answers in your jotters or, in case they have finished, in a piece of paper.

We are now in between two very special occasions for Catholic people and all the ones who believe in Jesus:

The Ascension of Jesus to Heaven, which was celebrated on the 21st of May, exactly 40 days after Easter Sunday, the day of his Resurrection,

and the day of the Pentecost, which will be celebrated on the 31st of May.

Because we are between the Ascension and the Pentecost, some people have been praying a NOVENA, which means a prayer that we pray for nine consecutive days and that, in this case, is different every day, from the day after the Ascension to the day before the Pentecost.

It might sound a bit strange that we say Fruits of the Holy Spirit because we know the Holy Spirit was not a tree!😃 But if you read the Powerpoint you will see it is very easy to understand why we call them that!😊

Here is the Powerpoint:

The-fruits-of-the-holy-spirit-powerpoint-english_ver_2

And here is the worksheet:

The-fruits-of-the-holy-spirit-activity-sheets-english_ver_2

After you finish this work, it would be really nice if you could draw the fruits with the 9 words in them as well! After all, life is so much sweeter with those fruits, isn’t it?

Good work and don’t forget the Virtual Sports activity for today!🤸‍♂️
