This week is our first homework week (though this homework can be “turned in” until next Friday so there is no rush).
I have provided your child with a little paper bag in which pupils should collect three items that represent them. This task will encourage children to talk about themselves and will help us to get to know each other.
It would be great if you could practise at home with your child what they could say about each item. Maybe your child could do a wee fun presentation to you and siblings or other family members before bringing the bag into school.
Here is my own All About Me bag as an example:
Hello, I’m Mrs Kane and I have brought in 3 things today to help me tell you all about me.
My first item is a piece of wool that I have knitted. It is a test piece for a sweater I’m knitting just now. I love to knit, crochet and sew. My favourite colour is purple which is why I chose this wool for my sweater.
My next item is a sheep. Sheep are my favourite animals because they remind me of Scotland and I love seeing them in the fields. My best friend gave me this sheep.
My last item is a piece of cheese because I love cheese, it’s my favourite snack!
I can’t wait to see all the lovely All About Me bags the class will bring in and we will also share some of them on here if possible.
Have fun with this homework!
