We had a lovely day raising money for children in need. Here are some pictures of our day 😄 I am so impressed with the effort that was made – well done everyone!

Homework – 22^nd November 2021

Our homework this week will be to research information. On Thursday, we are going to be writing a report/fact file on a Scottish inventor to celebrate Scotland, therefore I am asking children to choose a Scottish inventor they are interested in learning about and to begin their research at home. Facts found about their chosen Scot can be noted down however children prefer – they may choose to make a mind-map, take bullet pointed notes in their homework jotters or on other paper etc. Please remember to bring notes to school on Thursday instead of Friday this week as it will help your writing. The more facts we find the better our stories will be.

There will be no other homework as I would like everyone to take their time and complete this task to the best of their ability. Bug Club books are always available for reading for enjoyment, as is Sumdog.

In case anyone is struggling for ideas I have attached a list of people I thought the children might be interested learning about.

Happy researching!!

• John Logie Baird – Invented the television
• Alexander Graham Bell – Invented the telephone
• Alexander Fleming – Invented penicillin
• William Cullen – Invented the refrigerator

This week we have reading, spelling, maths and HWB homework.

This week is Scottish book week therefore our reading is going to be focused on Scottish books. You can copy and paste the link below to complete our reading on ‘Bookflix’. During this reading session the book will be read aloud for children to enjoy. They can choose any book they think they will enjoy and as many books as they wish.

Maths homework this week is a worksheet to complete in jotters. Please spend at least half an hour on your maths – if you finish your worksheet within this time spend the remainder of your time on Sumdog completing multiplication games.

Reading homework this week is to read your book on Bug Club and complete your comprehension questions throughout the book by clicking on the bugs as they appear.

Children have been issued homework jotters therefore their maths and spelling should be complete in their jotters.

Have a lovely week!!

For our writing this week we focused on re-drafting our work. Children had to read through their stories from the previous week and correct their mistakes. They then typed their redrafts to make them look beautiful for the reader.
Here are some pictures of everyone hard at work 😄

Good morning, I hope you have all had a lovely/spooky weekend!

This week for homework we are looking for children to write a recipe so we can put all of our amazing ideas together to create a school cook book. It can be any recipe of your choice and should be complete on the recipe sheet given home with children.

Please make sure everyone writes the name of the food they are creating their recipe for at the top of their page. For each ingredient it should also state how much is needed.

As well as their recipe children should also practise their spelling words for their spelling test on Friday. Their words are:

Genius Gems              Whizz Kids         Clever Cookies

Have an amazing week!
