Literacy Homework 

Children need to learn their spellings. There will continue to be a spelling test on a Friday however they all know that they can decide how they would like to learn these words.

I would recommend they learn the list they have written in class on Monday, then on Tuesday, write a list of words and learn them, the same on Wednesday and then on Thursday they can choose a fun spelling activity of their choice

We have used many different activities in class and for homework over the last two terms, so children should be familiar with activities to use. If they are unsure, they can choose from this list:

  • Blue Vowels
  • Vowel Circle
  • Rainbow Write
  • Elkonin Boxes
  • Diacritical Marking

Or ask in class or use this website for additional ideas:

Rugby Taster Session

Today we had a visit from some cool rugby guys!

They taught us how to throw tha ball, tackle at waist height and to remember the rule ‘space not face’!!!

There is training at the Aberdeen Wanderers pitches at Hazlehead Park every Saturday morning for us if we are interested!!!

They will be back again next term to work with the Primary 6&7s!!

Non-Fiction Text Features

Today we began our first posters of the features found in a non-fiction text. These features include a glossary, index, headings, table of contents.

We have chosen our own book so most of us have chosen a book on a topic that we are interested in or else do not know a lot about!!

We will continue these throughout the week.
