Well done to

our

‘Pupil of the Week‘

For working really hard on her phonics all week and making some super progress in literacy!

We are very proud of you!

This week the P1 boys and girls will be learning 2 new sounds.

This week the P2 boys and girls will be focusing on 1 phoneme.

Please look in their home/school book for activities to support their learning. Play with them and encourage them to build their knowledge and understanding around theses sounds and blends.

We will continue to work on the following CLIC Targets this week

C – Count to 50, Count back from 50

I  understand numbers to 10

L – 3 + 3 = 6, 4 + 4 = 8, 5 + 5 = 10

I can make 10

I – I can double 1 digit numbers

C – I can add numbers of objects to 10

Try to make any maths work at home as fun as possible – games, puzzles and jigsaws are a great way to start. It is also important to show how we use maths skills in our everyday lives so try to involve your child in this.

Number formation needs to be reinforced – using a whiteboard is a great way to do this.

A very happy birthday to Lexi today!

Have a wonderful birthday. We wish your special day to be filled with lots of love, laughter, happiness and the warmth of sunshine.

Well done to

There are so many ways to support your child’s learning through everyday activities and routines. Parent Zone Scotland provides the following advice…

​The importance of play

When we talk about play, people naturally think about young children, however all children and young people should have the opportunity to play every day.

Play is important for the early stages of brain development and playing with your child can help build relationships for later life. But no matter what age we are, play helps to develop important skills for learning, life and work.

Encouraging play is one of the best things you can do for your child, whatever their age, and it’s free.

Health and wellbeing

The purpose of the health and wellbeing curriculum area is to help every child and young person to feel cared for and valued as an individual. Learning about health and wellbeing will help your child cope with uncertainties in life, have confidence to try new and different things and make the most of opportunities that come along.

Health and wellbeing is important at all times of our lives. Children and young people thrive in situations where they feel safe, secure and respected. Family and friends have a strong influence on health and wellbeing and shape the habits and behaviours which can last a lifetime.
