Lent Challenge – Thursday 30th

 

Today’s challenge:   Fast from words and be silent so you can listen. Open your heart to God. 

Be quiet. Be still.

Find what friends and family come to mind and listen to what God tells you about them. Think of situations in life and consider the Holy Spirit’s guidance and advice.

Drive or walk to school / work in silence.

Cut back on Facebook, text messaging, technology to make space for God’s voice.

Prayer:   Lord, give me the courage to open my heart to you in silence.

Lent Challenge – Saturday 25th

Today we pray for the Primary 3 children who will celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Our challenge today is about forgiveness.

Watch this 6 minute video clip about the Parable of the Prodigal Son.

Discuss the Parable with your family. Remember that this Parable reminds us that God is always ready to welcome us back and forgive us, no matter what we’ve done.

Take time to talk to God about the times you have not shown love.

Our week in pictures:

Patryk was identifying different words in a text. We had to circle words which begin with a h green, words with oo in the middle are yellow and words with a d at the end will be purple. We really enjoyed this task.

Kyle and Casper are taking part in the paired time challenge. We challenged our partner to check how many subtraction sums they could answer in 1 minute. What was your best score?

Sophie and Poppy decided to have an extra play at the bus stop game during a choice task as part of a numeracy lesson.

Sophie was finding different ways to make 10 during our big maths CLIC session. Sophie found that 9 and 1 make 10.

Kaimee was playing the alien pairs game in our CLIV session. We had to find the aliens and their partner to make 10. You could play this game at home too.

Rutendo found lots of different ways to make 10. Well done, Rutendo.

We really enjoyed playing the bus stop game. Do you have this game at home?

Hayley done a super job of colouring in all the pictures of words which begin with a f. Great work, Hayley.

Kerr and Kaitlyn showed great teamwork when playing a subtraction board game. I wonder who was the winner of this game?

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Meechan and P1M

Our weekly news

We can’t believe it’s Friday again, the weeks are flying by in P1! Here are some of the highlights of the week (sorry for the lack of photographs but we have been so busy that we forgot to take them):

In writing this week we learned a new skill, editing and redrafting. We all looked at each others pirate adventure stories and thought of ways to up level them and change the greens to pink. We then rewrote our stories onto a scroll. Some of the stories are being entered into the Young Writers competition and we decided to put the others into a book for our class library.

In numeracy we continued to learn about subtraction and focused on subtracting from 8 and 9. It’s important that we have good number sense and understand different strategies for solving subtraction stories. We enjoyed using the subtracting apps on the ipad and we all managed to log onto sumdog during our number carousels. Another of our favourite activities was the space subtraction puzzle. We played a new game this week ‘bus stop’. The aim of the game was to roll 2 dice then move your bus the correct number of spaces on the board. If you landed on a plus sign you got to add passengers to the bus, if you landed on minus you had to take away passengers. Well done to Paul L and Nathan who were our winner’s!

To finish our pirates topic we made some healthy pirate snacks using cheese and apples. Before we started we had to learn about the skills and equipment needed. We also discussed the importance of washing our hands before handling food.

We want to share this video with you about being germ smart:

Everyone enjoyed the afternoon and the best bit was eating the leftovers!! We were also able to make lots of learning links, Paul M made links to symmetry when slicing the apple, James cut his apple into halves, Ephraim cut the cheese into cubes. Here are some photos of us hard at work!!

We finished the week by watching some growth mindset dojo clips. These reminded us about the importance of exercising our brains and not giving up, especially if we are finding things tricky to begin with. Instead of saying “I can’t.. say I can’t YET!”

Pupil voice:

Lucy – I enjoyed Easter structured play.

James – I enjoyed learning about food technology.

Klaudia – I liked playing with the soft toys at Golden time.

Isla – I like my new reading book.

Mark – In number work we have been learning about subtraction. I can do my sums in my head.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the spring sunshine while it lasts!!

 

Lent Challenge – Thursday 23rd March

“This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command… Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.” (John 15:12-15)

Today’s challenge – Pray for a friend. 

Prayer for a Friend

I will pray for you, my friend.
I will name you in my heart before God and ask all His blessing be upon you.
I will be concerned for your rising and your daily mood.
I will be sympathetic to your personal needs and desires in each day of your life.
I will wish you well in your learning, or your work,  and your leisure.
I will think of you at the close of each day and pray that God’s peace be with you.
If you have been especially kind or helpful to me then I will make my gratitude known to you.
If you are in trouble or difficulty of any kind, or simply tired and worn down,
I will do all and anything I can to lift your spirits.
I will ache for you in your sorrows and disasters and rejoice with you in your joys and triumphs.
I will love and care for you as I love and care for myself.

~ Author unknown
