Mrs Docherty HWB: Positive Song for the Week 19.5.20

Good morning everyone. I hope you have all had a lovely long weekend. Over the weekend I stopped for a while and just sat and listened to what was all around me. As I listened I could hear so many wonderful sounds of nature. The birds could be heard singing their songs, more loudly than I have ever heard them, and all around life seemed still and quiet.

As I sat, it brought back a song that I feel sums up exactly what we can see and hear in these uncertain times. As we all wait for lockdown to be lifted and we take time in what is normally our very busy lives we can all appreciate what is important and what is special about life. The words of the song What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong sum it all up.

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I see skies of blue, and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

It is a beautiful and uplifting song that really made me sit back and appreciate what life is and what it means. It means friendship, love and all of the beauty around us. Please listen to the song and know that while the world might look different just now it will emerge even brighter and we will return again to St Ninian’s grateful for what we have come through as a team.

Have a great week,

PS MISS LYDON DAILY UPDATE 15.05.20

Good morning!

It’s Friday so that means self-assessment time.

This week we will return to focusing on two stars and a wish.

For this I would like you to choose two things you think you did really well with this week with your learning (these are the two stars) and write them down or tell someone at home. Then decide on one thing you would like to improve (this is your wish).

Literacy

To assess your spelling get someone at home to call out the words from the weekly grid and you write them down. How many can you spell correctly?

For your writing use this writing skills success criteria to assess how you got on:

Your success criteria for this writing was to;

Write at least 6 lines
Finish each line with a rhyming word
Use neat handwriting

Mark each of your success criteria with tickled pink or green for growth.

Mathematics and Numeracy

If you find any of the following images a little small to read, clicking on them makes them a little bigger.

Numeracy answers:

I hope you have had fun this week.

Please remember that Monday is a holiday. It will be Tuesday next week that your weekly grid will be posted.

MRS DOCHERTY’S POSITIVE THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK 15.5.20

Another Friday and the end of another fabulous week of work and support. I started this week with our positive song of the week: Somewhere Over the Rainbow which shared a message of hope and determination. This is exactly what we all have in abundance at the moment and continue to have going forward.

My positive thought for this week is one that sums up all of your positivity and our hopes as a school community.

Your comments, the daily work being shared and your positive messages of support through this time embody our school values and also the quote above. You are our rainbow and what has really struck us as a school is the care, love, support and friendship you have shown to us as your children’s teachers and as your friends.

It is the simplest of things and the Thursday Clap for our Carers that shows our rainbow shining through in these times and really make me smile knowing we are supporting each other and showing kindness and courage towards each other. Keep smiling and keep being that rainbow in someone else’s storm.

Thank you for being you and being brilliant. We couldn’t ask for a better set of children and parents for our school.

Have a great weekend and as always stay safe,

Mrs Docherty
