Today we pray The Hail Mary and ask the Mother of Jesus to give us grace, strength and to protect us.
When you are finished saying the prayer, watch and listen to this beautiful piece of music called ‘Ave Maria’ composed by Franz Schubert. Beautiful!
It’s April Fools’ Day! Don’t skip the chance to get away with doing something outrageous: try putting a generous twist on April Fools’ and do something surprising that’s actually nice.
Let us know how you get on!
Hip Hip Hooray for the HOLIDAYS!
What a busy week we have had considering it has been the last week of term.
We have had to complete our CEM tests which we all tried our best in!
In Maths, we have continued to learn about equivalent fractions and finding fractions on a number line.
Two of our favourite activities this week have been our art activity and our web challenge.
We focussed on using line to create a landscape. Everything we included had to made up of different styles of lines. Dominika enjoyed using line to make her landscape and thought it was fun.
Our web challenge meant we had to learn and use lots of different skills including typing, creating bookmarks, cut and paste and navigating the site. We had to complete activities to receive secret codes which then meant we could complete the final challenge. Ryan B – “There was a lot of quizzes and we could only get the secret code if we got the answers correct. It was quite hard but good fun!”
We enjoyed our third week of our P4 and P4/5 football tournament. Brazil are currently in the lead on the league table.
We have been preparing for Easter and focussed on learning about the Easter Story. We had to sequence the events and write a short sentence to explain the story.
Have a lovely holiday,
Primary 4 and Miss Diamond!
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.
Today’s challenge : Say a decade of the rosary and ask God to fill us with His Grace, Peace, Love and the Joy of His Presence.
Pray the Glorious Mysteries. http://www.rosary-center.org/glorious.htm
Children can join me at lunchtime at 12.45pm on Wednesday to pray the rosary together.
Today’s challenge – Be positive, think positive and say positive words only.
For extra challenge you could listen to this beautiful hymn which reminds us to place our trust in God. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc0QVWzCv9k
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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_FUlo3WngI
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.
P4/5 have had a very busy week. We have been thoroughly enjoying our new numeracy topic ‘fractions’. We are able to find a fraction of a shape or number, order fractions on a number line and recognise that some fractions have different numerators and denominators however they can have the same value. These fractions are called ‘equivalent fractions’. Here is what the children had to say about their learning this week;
Louise “This week in numeracy we have been learning all about fractions.”
Mirren “I know that the numerator is the number of parts of a shape or number and the denominator is how many parts make up a whole.”
Lukasz “The numerator is the number at the top of the fraction and the denominator is the number at the bottom.”
Marcella “When a shape or number is split into 4 they are split into quarters.”
Abi “If the denominator is a 2 then the fraction is a half.”
Finlay “We have been finding fractions of shapes and numbers.”
Aria “We use our knowledge of division to find a fraction of a number.”
Charlie “We have also being revising multiplication, division, addition and subtraction.”
Abi “Some of us brought in red noses today to show our support for red nose day.”
Charlie “In PE this week, we continued our world cup tournament. Portugal came 1st and Columbia came 2nd this week.”
Lewis “In Art with Mrs Thompson this week we designed Easter cards.”
Lukasz “My group got a new reading book this week called cockadoodle doo Mr Sultan. I am really enjoying this book.”
Lewis “We have been focusing on inference questions this week in reading. When answering an inference question we have to look for clues to help us work out the answer.”
Daniel “We have been preparing for our Holy Communion this week. We revised the prayers for confession and talked about how important it is to have your confession heard often.”
Oliwier “For writing this week, we wrote a Viking adventure imaginative story. We focused on our structure making sure we had paragraphs in our story.”
Hope you have a lovely weekend and all of the mummies and grannies are spoiled on Mothering Sunday.
P4/5 and Mrs Wassell
What a busy week we have had in Primary 4!
In reading, we have been looking at inference questions because we were finding this tricky! We have learned that we need to use the information we are given from a photograph or a text to make sensible suggestions when giving answers. We enjoyed using the comprehension cubes during reading.
We thoroughly enjoyed writing this week where we were writing a recipe for our Viking Oatcakes. We learned all about the important features that have to be used when writing instructions.
Ailie – “I learned how to lay it out and put a list of the ingredients and the equipment at the top.”
Brooke – “We had to use time conjunctions like first, next and finally.”
Evie – “I learned that we had to use bossy words to explain the method. Some of the bossy words I used were; mixed, pour and stir.”
In maths, we have been developing our understanding of fractions! We have been revising fractions of shapes and learning about fractions of a set, fractions on a number line and equivalent fractions.
Jan – “I know that if I am stuck with a fraction I can go back and use my division knowledge to help me!”
In RE this week, we have continued preparing for our First Holy Communion. We were remembering the importance of Sunday being a day of rest and a time where we reflect on our faith. We have been revising the prayers we learned for our reconciliation and discussing the importance of going to confession.
As we are coming to the end of our Viking topic, we worked collaboratively to create posters to show all that we have learned about Vikings! Some of our favourite facts have been:
“Vikings used to play piggy in the middle with bear skins.” – Haseeb
“Vikings were very active in the slave trade.” – Kacper
“Vikings ate pork, fish, berries and oats.” – Hannah
“On the front of a Viking Longboat there is a figure head which represents a spiritual Viking God!” – Adrin.
We enjoyed sharing some of our Topic homework with our classmates. They were all super! Models, posters, PowerPoints and props! Great effort P4!
We hope you have a nice weekend and Happy Mother’s Day to all of our fabulous Mums!
“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.
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.
