Reading homework
Our reading homework for this week is:
Book Bandits – Football
Page Pirates – Rainbows
Word Wizards – Eco Apes Save Water
Sound stars – Homework to be given out tomorrow
Some members of the class have been given an extra book this week which is slightly harder to challenge them. I have spoken to these children individually and I will meet with them later in the week to review these books.
Literacy homework
This week our class is learning the sound oi. I have attached the grid from which your child can choose activities to practice these sounds. Many of these activities can be done using the magnetic boards the children were given last year. If you would like to provide your child with further challenge, ask them to make other words they can think of using the aw sound. Below are some oi words for practicing at home along with this weeks common words.
Numeracy homework
In class we are continuing to use money in our numeracy. We can recognise all coins in our system and add together small amounts of money. We have found working out change that can be given when making small purchases and deciding what coins to use when paying for an item to be tricky and will focus further on these this week. The class will be working out change from 10p, 20p, 50p and £1. This ensures that everyone finds some level of challenge in their work.
I am providing the same top marks games as last week to allow the children to build their confidence in these concepts.

As a reminder, there is an East Ayrshire Sumdog competition this week which I ask you to encourage your child to take part in. When I checked the leader board this morning, one of the Gargieston classes was sitting in first position!
