Earlier this term we all took time in our classes to talk about Bullying (some of you watched the ‘Big Anti-bullying Assembly’
too), how it affects children and what we can do to prevent bullying in our school. With your help we want to make sure that
everyone in Dunlop Primary & ECC knows what bullying is, what to do if they experience bullying and how we can stand up to
bullies, ensuring that our school continues to be a safe and happy place for us all.
To help promote this across the school we are asking you to be very creative and design a colourful, eye-catching school
anti-bullying logo/badge with a slogan that everyone from the ECC to P7 will understand and recognise. The winning logo and
slogan will then be made into posters and displayed across the school.
There will be a prize for the best entry in each class and for the overall school winner-good luck!
Remember to write your name and class on the back of your sheet and return it by Friday 11th December.
I hope you all have a great weekend. Thank you for all your hard work this week!
Monday 7th December I.T
Our focus when using the computers has been to learn the position of the keys on the keyboard.
Today I would like you to type your phoneme and tricky words into a word document. Once you have typed your words now write at least three sentences using these words. Remember capital letters and full stops. Now you can change the font, size and colour. This means you will need to highlight the words you want to change before you select what you want to do to them.
After that you could log onto Busy things (dunlopteacher dunlop20) and play tree keys or bird word to improve your ability to find all the letters on the keyboard.
Monday 7th December Numeracy
Let’s begin today by showing your grown-up that you can count in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. To help you do this you could sing along to the Scratch garden or Singing Walrus videos on Youtube.
Our focus in numeracy recently has been time. This week please continue to focus on o’clock and half past. Remember to show your grown up these times digitally. Of course if you can show other times then let your grown up see quarter past or quarter to.
Today I have uploaded a calendar for the month of December. Can you add some events that your family might take part in or events that happen in school? You might want to include the time it takes as well. (Perhaps you put up Christmas light between five o’clock and six o’clock on the 5th of December).Then you could give your calendar to a grown up at home and ask them some questions.
For example
On what day do I sledging?
When is Christmas jumper day?
On what day do I make a gingerbread house?
When do I put my Christmas tree up?
Monday 7th December

Good afternoon boys and girls, Mr Stewart was so impressed with all of your name suggestions for our cheeky elf. He would love to name our elf Jack – I hope you love it as much as we do!
For numeracy today I would like you all to try some mental maths questions. You could write your answers on a whiteboard or some paper.
Questions
Today you could also try the three minute number challenge. Set a timer for three minutes, begin at zero and write your numbers how high can you go before the timer runs out? You could have a competition with the people in your home.
You could also try our 50 to 0 challenge. Set the timer for three minutes and begin with 50, can you write all the numbers to zero before the time runs out?
You could also watch Numberjacks on YouTube or watch some of the Scratch Garden number songs.

Good morning everyone!
For literacy on a Friday normally we would complete a spelling test for our tricky words and phoneme. At home ask your grown up to say each word and use it in a sentence so you can then write it down or spell it out loud.
If you do it on paper your grown-up could mark your work using brilliant blue and green for growth. Remember green for growth is fantastic as these are the words you need to work on.
On a Friday we would also take time to watch Geraldine the Giraffe and Alphablocks.
Today you could also divide a piece of paper into four and draw four of your phoneme words, remember to write the words underneath.
Also you could write some silly sentences, try to use as many of your words as possible.
Our House Captains stepped up to Step into Christmas yesterday and they organised the Christmas tree. They have her dressed in her resplendent glory and this morning there were lots of ooohs and aaahs as the children came into school!
Thank you Captains for tree trimming skills and for helping us all get in the mood for Christmas.
With warmest regards, Mrs Nouillan
