Febru-read!!! Reading Challenges for the month of February!!
To continue to promote a love of Reading for Enjoyment, we would like to invite our learners to take part in the Reading Challenge “NRPS Febru-read!!!” We have a challenge for P4-7 and a challenge for P1-3.  If your child would like to take part in a challenge, they can let their teacher know and they will be given a challenge sheet which will allow them to take part.  We will make time at our Personal Achievement Assemblies to celebrate learners who take part.

Please continue to use the song below to reinforce the difference between letter names and sounds.

Alphabet Phonics Song – YouTube  – Epic phonics

This will be updated as new phonemes are taught:

sh, th, ng, ch, wh, ph, ee, oo, ck, ai, oi, oa, ea, ‘y’ (as in ay), ss, ll, ff, ow, ‘ou’, ‘oi’, ‘igh’, ‘y’ (as in fly), ‘i-e’

This week we are practising our “igh”, “y”, and “i-e” sounds in class.

 

PLEASE COLLECT KITCHEN ROLL TUBES AND PLASTIC YOGHURT TUBS (LARGE OR SMALL). THIS WILL BE USED FOR OUR STEM FORTNIGHT COMING UP SOON!

 

This is our words for Scottish Assembly. P2P have done very well in learning their words.

Chorus:

Oh ye cannae fling pieces oot a twenty-story flat
Seven hundred hungry weans will testify tae that
If it’s butter, cheese or jeely
If the breid is plain or pan
The chances of it reaching earth are ninety nine tae wan

Verse:

On the second day ma maw flung me a piece oot wance again
It went and hut the pilot in a fast low-flying plane
He scraped it aff his goggles, shouting through the intercom
“The Clydeside Reds huv goat me wi’ a breid-an-jeely bomb.

 

Kindest regards,

Simon
