I have not given out any homework this week.

We will be practising our spelling in school this week. Primary 1s are consolidating sh, ch and th this week. We will be doing lots of different spelling activities in the class to go over these sounds. Primary 2s are exploring the use of the “magic e”.

If you would like your child to practise some maths, your child could play the following games on topmarks:

Primary 1 – Robot More or Less: Choose “less than” and “up to ten”

Primary 2 – Place Value Basketball: Choose “number up to 99”

You could also do the Daily 10 to help your child speed up their mental agility. Primary 1s should go to “Level 1 – Subtraction – up to 10” and Primary 2s can try “Level 2 – Digit Values”. It will automatically give you numbers up to 99.

 

Hello! Here is our homework for this week:

Primary 1

All pupils did a super job in their first spell check. I have included the spell check jotters in the packs for you to look at. Can you please make sure to return them with the homework on Monday in readiness for our next check up?

This week Primary 1s are learning the <ch> sound in spelling. Please do the same as last week. I have given you a bit more space this week and added the extra task of writing a simple sentence with a <ch> word, e.g. I chop a log. They should be words that your child can sound out him/herself.

In maths, we are now adding up to 10. Please complete the worksheet. Children can use the pictures or their fingers to help them add.

Primary 2

We are learning the <oi> sound this week. We have already identified many <oi> and <oy> words and were finding this quite tricky so please practise at home. This week we are building words using the worksheets in your spelling jotter. I have given you two sheets in case you can’t fit all of your spelling words on one sheet.

In maths, we are practising taking away from 20 this week. This can be a bit tricky and we are looking at not only counting back but also counting on if the numbers are close together, e.g. instead of trying to do 20-16, we count up from 16 to 20. There is also a game on the sheet. I have included two counters and a die in each homework pack. I would be grateful if these could be returned next Monday. Thanks!

Hello,

This week we are back to “normal” with literacy and maths homework for everyone. Please continue to practise our poem and song, however, the class has been absolutely brilliant performing it so far. We had a few brave volunteers performing the poem to the class and they blew me away!

Primary 1

We have now learned all of our single sounds and are moving on to learning phonemes now. Our first phoneme sound is <sh>. Please complete the page in the blue spelling jotter. We will be doing our first spell check with the given 5 words next Monday. Children should therefore practise these words in particular but can draw a picture of any other <sh> word they can think of.

For maths, please complete the Home Activity sheet. We are practising to add up to 10 with doubles and near doubles.

Primary 2

We are learning the <ou> sound this week. Pupils have a new green jotter with our spelling activity for the week.

We are looking at subtracting from 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 this week. Please complete the Home Activity sheet.

Our gym days for this term have changed and are now Wednesdays and Thursdays. We are doing gymnastics. Girls should therefore have their hair tied back please and no watches or jewellery should be worn for PE.

Thank you ☺️

First of all, I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year and welcome back!

This week we are preparing for our Burns Celebration later this month. Can everyone please practise the following Scottish poem and song:

Our poem this year is “The Wee Rid Motor”. You can watch a video of it being performed here.

The song we are singing this year is “Three Craws Sat Upon a Waw”. Click here to hear the song and sing along.

I have also given maths homework for Primary 1s and Primary 2s. Please complete the worksheet.

As we are practising lots for our nativity performance at the moment, there will be no homework issued for the time being. Please continue to practise the lines with your child if they have some.

Please find below some games and websites that you could work on with your child if you would like to. We will still be reading as and when time allows. We are still doing lots of learning activities in the classroom and Primary 1s are continuing to learn their sounds.

Primary 1s

Literacy:

• You can practise some simple tricky words by clicking here.
• You can identify the initial sound, the middle sound or the end sound in this online game.
• You can read CVC words in this game. Choose “1-3” and “Easy”. Click on the hook when the correct picture is underneath it.

Maths:

• Practise adding within 10 by playing this robot game. Choose the red tab for adding and “up to 10”. Then choose how much you want to add.
• This robot game is slightly harder. Choose “up to 10”.
• You can practise numbers up to 10 and adding in this game. Choose any activities here within 10.

Primary 2s:

Literacy:

• Practise your spelling and sentence construction in this karate cat game.
• Practise the alphabet and putting words into alphabetical order here.
• Practise some tricky spelling in this game.

Maths:

• Choose “+” or “-” in our train game to practise add and subtract.
• “Count on and back” within “10 and 20” in our Blast Off game.

We are all also learning about 2D and 3D shapes this month so feel free to draw shape pictures or find shapes in your house by going on a shape hunt.

This week we are only doing Literacy homework.

Primary 1

We are consolidating our sounds this week in school and practising CVC words. At home, please practise writing the letter u on the sheet provided. You can use coloured pencils if you want and you can also go over each letter several times, creating a rainbow letter if you use different colours each time. You can also just use your handwriting pencil.

I have given you two word lists to practise words using our sounds from last week. Please practise making these words with your magnetic letters. Your helper can also make the word for you and ask you to sound it out and read it.

Primary 2

Our spelling sound this week is <ll> . Please practise your spelling words using our activities from the activity grid. In addition, please use your spelling worksheet to find rhyming words for each of your word. You can use the words from your word list as rhyming words or find new ones. I have included an example in the picture below.

Finally, we are having another storytelling afternoon next Wednesday (29th November). It was great to see so many storytellers the last time we did our storytelling afternoon. However, as I need to be able to plan the space and groups of children, it is important that I know in advance who will be attending to read a story. If you or a grandparent would like to read a story to us next Wednesday, could you please fill in the enclosed slip and return it to me by Monday 27th November. Thank you so much!

Here is this week’s homework:

We are working on some data handling this week. We have already made a bar graph showing the weather from last week’s homework and are now going to count and record autumn pictures. Children should mark off the items they have counted and then fill the appropriate number of bars on their worksheet. P1 and P2 sheets are slightly different. Answers for the questions should be written next to the question or on the back of the sheet.

P1 Literacy

We have already looked at our new sounds <b> and <u> this week. P1s should colour all pictures starting with these sounds on their sheet. Feel free to choose any two colours to differentiate the sounds.

P2 Literacy

We are looking at the <ss> sound this week. Please encourage your child to practise their spelling words. The written activity is only one way of doing this, you can also do any of the grid activities in addition to the written practice. We will have our spell check on Monday.

Children will just need to write 3 simple sentences with a full stop. However, some may like a challenge and can try to use an exclamation mark or a question mark if they want.

This week’s homework will focus on Literacy and our new topic. We are learning all about the 4 seasons, starting with autumn. We have already explored the signs of autumn and will be looking a bit more closely at our lovely autumn weather this week. Please read below for details:

Primary 1 Literacy:

This week we are learning the sounds <f> and <o>.  Please use the magnetic letters to practise the CVC words that I have included in the homework folder. You could also set the words out yourself and ask your child to read the word or draw a picture of it.

Primary 2 Literacy:

This week’s spelling sound is <y> sounding /ee/ at the end of a word. Please practise the spelling words by doing “Roll a Rainbow” activity. Work through the word list and write each word once using the key at the side of the sheet. Then start at the top of your word list again and work your way down it. Do this until you have filled all of the lines. I have included a die for everyone in their homework folders, please ensure to return the dice with your homework next week.

Our spelling words this week are:

happy, very, funny, sunny, party, story, rainy, body, angry, carry, puppy.

Primary 1 and 2 topic homework:

For topic, please help your child to fill in the weather chart. Please help your child to choose the best icon to represent the weather. If it is for example partly sunny with clouds, choose one of the icons to keep it simple.

 

Please find below this week’s homework for Monday 9th October.

Please check homework folders carefully as some children have received important letters today.

Primary 1:

Primary 2:

I’m looking forward to seeing you at our parents night tomorrow.

I gave out our homework today. Please check your child’s bag for the homework folder. Folders can be returned with completed homework throughout the week but no later than Monday 25th September.

The P2 spelling lists can be removed from the folder and kept at home for additional practice. Primary 1s can also keep their envelop with the letter cards at home for practice beyond this week’s homework tasks.

Please find below this week’s homework:

Primary 2s have their spell check jotters in their homework folders for you to see how well they did. Can you please ensure that the spell check jotted is always returned with the homework folder by Monday.

This week’s Primary 2 spelling lists are:
