Primary 1/2

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.
