Hello Everyone!! I hope you all had a lovely weekend ☺️

As I am working in the hub this week, this post will have multiple activities you can engage with throughout the week.

Literacy

1. 6 new RWI words.  Practice, do a spelling task, find definition and synonyms and then test again.
2. Persuasive writing.  Complete a plan using the two templates below and then a first draft.  If you manage to complete your first draft, read with an older sibling or adult and mark it with Yippee Yellow and Pink for Think.   Remember to include features of AFOREST.
   A- Alliteration, F-Facts, O-Opinion, R- Repetition, E- Emotion, S-Statistics and T- Rule of Three.(adjectives)
3. 
4. 
5. Grammar – Apostrophes or Apostrophe’s?🧐

I would like you to access the two links below as they exploring using apostrophes in contractions, for example,  you are= you’re.  The possessive apostrophe, for example,   The dog’s paws are muddy. Not dogs as that suggest the noun is plural!

🌎🌍🌏 – Continents.

Good Morning everyone! 😃

✨Reminder.

1. There will be no blog posts tomorrow, Friday and Monday as these are inservice/bank holiday.
2. If you haven’t already sent me a poster with a positive message please can you it.  Mrs MacPhail and Mrs Lowden are planning to make a display with these posters on our school gates, so can I ask you all to let me know if you give consent for them to use your poster.  Simply say “yes I am happy to have poster displayed” or “no I don’t want my poster display” when you send me the poster via email.   I have emailed those of you who have already sent posters over.
