I hope you and your family are well. As we return  this term  to the challenges that lie ahead, please be assured we will work hard to work in partnership with you as you seek to support your  child at home with their learning.

We are sorry not to welcome all our pupils back but I know that our pupils will  do their best to show you hard they work in school at home, doing their daily activities.

From Monday 11th January, 21, our Primary and ECC staff will post daily on GLOW – remember that you can access GLOW without requiring a password. You  just  google ‘Hurlford Primary School Glow page’ to see your child’s class post.

Educationcity and Nessy (P3-P7) can be accessed online. Your child should be able to show you how to do this.

P4-P7 should also know their GLOW passwords so they can access Teams, unfortunately due to national guidance we are not allowed to share these with Parents/Carers/

We would encourage our older pupils to communicate with their teacher via their GLOW email and share their learning with their teacher, where possible.

We recognise that home learning can be very stressful for families, so we would just ask you ‘to do what you can!’

Hello P2B,

I hope you are all getting excited for Christmas! We have been working very hard and I hope we keep this up until the holidays start. We looking at the last part of our Food and Farm topic this week and going to start some Christmas crafts and activities. Thank you to everyone that brought in the farms. They all look AMAZING! It’s clear you all worked hard and should give yourself a big pat on the back! To look at all your extremely impressive farms please click on the PowerPoint below.

Home learning task

In the lead up to Christmas I thought it would be nice to have a cooking challenge. Last week the class got the cress that they grew home. We talked about some ideas for the cress. Maybe you could make something using the cress. Our thinking task last week, set by the Fairtrade committee was to look at the ingredients and flavours used in gingerbread treats. The class designed a gingerbread man and were given the extra challenge of making gingerbread men and women at home using fairtrade products.

Education city – I have added homework this week called “week beginning 7.12.2020” The activity is a playlive game. This can be played against others in the school or anyone. You answer the questions as best you can in 60 seconds. Remember we are still practising our subtraction so do not worry about the time and try your best! I’ll keep this live so that you can use it as much as you want!

Spelling – we have been looking at the “oy” phoneme this week. Practice your phoneme words and your common words at home. Use the grid below for ideas.

Red – enjoy  royal  annoy  toys  loyal

said  big  could

Green – joy  boy  toys  enjoy 

said  big  could  have

Blue – lip  log  let  leg

the  I  in  it

Have a fantastic week! Feel free to practice our Christmas Party songs at home – Cha cha slide, superman and Hokey Cokey we have practiced so far 🙂
