Good morning everyone.
I hope that you had a lovely long weekend. As this is a very short week, there are no new CLIC Targets. You can go over the targets from last week for revision if you like. There will not be new spelling sounds this week either. Instead, we will be trying a few new Literacy activities. Please remember to send your child with their book bag tomorrow so that we can change out the reading books.
Many thanks!

During Term 4, Primary 4 pupils will focus on the following:

Topic – World of Work followed by a pupil choice topic.
