Happy Monday P4 parents!

Homework is slightly different this week as we have the holiday weekend starting on Friday. Therefore, homework will be issued today, but won’t be due back until Friday 27th of September.

• Copy words 2 more times using LSCWC.
• Write 3 sentences using at least 3 of your spelling words.
• Active Spelling activities – Choochoo Words and Word Build –  try to make your words out of pasta, leaves, toys or anything you can think of.
• ChooChoo words is when you write your spelling words in one continuous row, eg. blueglueprunespoilt.
• Bug Club books will be updated, so try to read at least 1 book each week.

Thanks for your help and support.

P4 teachers

Happy Monday everyone, here is your homework for this week…

• Write spelling words out two more times using LSCWC.
• Write three sentences using at least three of your list words.
• Active Spelling – Pyramid words and Spelling Skip (spell out your words while skipping with a rope).
• Bug Club – remember to read and complete at least one new book.

Thanks again from all the P4 teachers.

It’s that time of year again when we start homework. At the moment we will be concentrating on our spelling and phonics. The children have all had what we expect of them for homework explained clearly, but everyone forgets things, so the P4 teachers thought it would be handy to explain to parents and carers too, so there is no confusion.

• Children will copy their own spelling words in class – these have to be copied using Look Say Cover Write and Check (LSCWC) 2 more times.
• Then children are expected to write 3 sentences using at least 3 words.
• Two active spelling activities should be completed…

This week RAINBOW WRITING and TOUCH WRITING (children draw out the word on your hand or back).

Bug Club books will also be allocated to each child and at least one should be completed every week.

Maths homework will be given as and when appropriate.

• Homework will be issued on a Monday and we expect it to be back in on a Friday.

Thank you very much for your help and support.

After nearly finishing the first 2 weeks of the new term at Onthank, we are now settling into a routine.

Our class topic is Ancient Egyptians.

We have P.E on Monday’s and Thursday’s.

It is East Ayrshire policy to not allow any jewellery to be worn at gym times and unfortunately we are not able or permitted to cover pierced ears with tape. Any child unable to remove their earring on gym days will have to sit out at the side until they can remove their earrings.

On Friday the class paired up to try to complete a scavenger hunt with a difference. We used the school IPads to scan QR code clues in order to answer times table calculations. Some of us even managed to finish the hunt successfully. We had lots of fun trying this out for the first time.
