On Wednesday 22nd June, Rooms 1 and 2 will be going on their trip to Hazlehead Park. Please remember to come dressed for the weather and remember a snack, drinks and packed lunch. (Except those who requested a packed lunch from the school kitchen.)

Thursday 23rd June – School will be closed for polling.

Common Words – This week our words are more, want and many. P1s, please complete the homework in the white book for Friday.

Reading – Primary 1 and 2 children will receive a new reading book on Monday. Some children have a new word list in their Home/School Book which will continually be assessed in school, but please use it to help you practise the new reading words at home.

Phonics – This week we are learning to recognise, read and spell with consonant blends – ll and ss, as in pill/well and grass/mess.

Spelling homework continues for Primary 1 this week. The children will get 6 words on Monday to practise during the week, ready for an informal spelling test on the Friday.  The main purpose of this spelling homework is to give the children a chance to practise their blending skills. We would appreciate your support in helping your child to copy each word two times at home, neatly and correctly. If they are finding it tricky please also help them to practise making their spelling words in other fun ways – magnetic letters, crayons, finger paints etc. The final part of the homework task is to choose one word to draw a picture of, in the blank space. Please encourage your child to write the word beside the picture. Please sign completed homework and send it into school by Friday this week.

P2 spelling homework will be given out on Monday to be handed in on Friday this week.

French – Counting 1 – 12, colours and weather.

Number – Most of Primary 1 will be revising subtraction from 7, 8 and 9 and will be working on addition and subtraction stories of 10.

Most of Primary 2 will be working on addition and subtraction stories of 13, 14 and 15.
