Today we released our 4 butterflies into the wild!! We got them when they were tiny caterpillars and they grew and grew! Then they made their cocoons and emerged as beautiful butterflies!

On Wednesday morning we will be walking to the Duthie Park for our annual school picnic. Please ensure your child has on suitable footwear and a lightweight waterproof jacket. If it’s sunny that morning please also remember to put sun cream on your child. Thank you to all our parents who have offered to help with this (especially after our rather trip intense term!!).
Primary 7 leaver’s assembly is on Thursday afternoon.
The end of term service will be on Friday.
We have finished reading and spelling for the year. Reading books will be collected in on Tuesday. Please check at home one last time for any reading books that went astray this year.
Common word homework will be given out on Monday to be returned on Thursday.
This week we will be sending lots of folders, workbooks and artwork home. Please send a carrier bag into school each day for all their things.
Thank you for all your support over the last year. We’ve had a lovely year full of great achievements, happy times and lots and lots of laughter!
We had a fabulous afternoon exploring and tasting a selection of fruits. We investigated the seeds found in each fruit and were all adventurous and tasted each and every variety. Well done Room 1!
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.)

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.
