Children have been allocated a book on Bug Club. Please try to read your book more than once as this will help increase fluency and understanding. Once initially completed the book will go into your child’s library to read again.

We will be looking at the joined phoneme ‘oi’ this week, like boil, voice, coin,oil. Children can practise making their words with these sounds using their magnetic letters and boards.

The common words are: their, some, then and last.

Children should try to read, write and spell these words. Can you please encourage your child to write two sentences containing two of the common words.

Primary 7 have been working on The Global Goals topic and have come up with an idea to do a reverse advent calendar. They have issued each child with a date, should you wish to contribute, to bring in a non-perishable item to  donate to the food bank. The stickers with the date for your child has either been placed in their homework diary or on them today! If your date falls on a Saturday in December could your child bring it in on the Friday and if it falls on a Sunday could you please bring it in on the Monday. I have put a little list below should you wish to refer to it:

Ist Dec – Euan and Vinnie

2nd Dec – Alexander and Ella

3rd Dec – Mario and Sophia

4th Dec – Colette and David

5th Dec – Alice

6th Dec – Elijah

7th Dec- Nathan

8th Dec – Darcey

9th Dec – Oscar

10th Dec – Georgia

11th Dec – Leo

12th Dec – Aiden

13th Dec- Niamh

14th Dec – Jessica
