It was nice welcoming all the children back this morning and I hope everyone had a lovely break.

Spelling homework for this week ( due on Friday)  is the sound ‘ae’ and the many different combinations that make this sound,                 as in:     ‘ai’  ‘ay’  ‘ey’  ‘ei’  ‘a-e’ …

Maths homework ( due on Thursday) is the 6 times table and a recap of fractions taught in P4 –  which should be completed neatly in homework jotters.

Could I also ask parents to support their children as they continue to  learn their times tables and improve their weekly ‘Learn Its’ score. As discussed on Parent’s Night, children are expected to recall number facts on sight and therefore need much more practice as they are accumulated each week.

Last week’s Learn Its were:     8+9; 3+8; 4+5; 6+7; 5+11

This week’s Learn Its are:        9+3; 12-8; 4+8; 5+7; 12-7
