Tomorrow the ECC have invited P1 and P6 buddies to join them on their Teddy Bears Picnic. Please bring a soft toy in tomorrow 🧸

We had so much fun at sports day this morning. The sun definitely made a welcome appearance too ☀️

What a great day we had on our trip today! The kids were fantastic and made Catrine very proud! We had so much fun playing in the parks, having our picnic lunch and finding waterfalls. In the words of Calli and Miley it was definitely “the best trip ever!” Keep an eye on the blog as I’m sure Mrs Cook has more photos of our great day 😊

What a fun day we have had celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee!  We heard lots of “this is the best day ever!!!”

Just a reminder that Big Talk Week is Mon 6th – Fri 10th June.  Please see the previous post regarding the preparation for the ‘When I grow up, I would like to be…” information (or letter in book bag)

Twice a year, the children take part in our whole school ‘Big Talk Homework Challenge’.  This is where your child gets the opportunity to prepare and present a talk to the class.  The topic will change depending on the focus for that term.  This term we will be having a World of Work day so the title of the talk will be ‘When I grow up, I would like to be…’.   At home, your child should prepare and practise their talk.

Some ideas to include in their talk might be:

• What job would they like to do when they are older?
• Why they would like the job?
• What skills or equipment they might need for the job?
• A picture/drawing/poster about their chosen job

The talk should be ready to be presented the week bg Monday 6th June. More details will be given shortly (please check Blog) about which day that week your child will be giving their talk.

We look forward to hearing about what they would like to be!

Maths Homework:  Pairs of socks

This week in class we are talking about patterns ( as well as the ‘ck’ sound in sock) so the activity is all about counting in 2s.   Please return Scrapbooks by Friday 13th May.

We also enjoyed singing along to this video today in class:

Reading Books

New reading books have been issued today.  Please enjoy reading them at home and return to school by Friday 13th May.

Thanks again,

Mrs Ferguson

Reading Books

Today we have sent home a reading book in the book bags.  Please read them with your child, encouraging them to talk about the story and use the strategies we’ve learned in class to help them read some of the words  ie Can they sound (or stretch) out the word?  Does the picture help?  Is it one of our common words?

These will be handed out on a Monday and collected in on a Friday. (Tuesday next week due to Monday holiday)

Please make sure the books are looked after and kept in the book bags as we are very limited to the number of books we have at each stage that can be sent home.  Your child will need to bring in the last book before a new book is issued.

Maths Homework

The maths challenge this week is all about sharing.  It is called Burying Bones.  Please see details in maths scrapbook or click on link below:
