Our spelling homework this week is all about making CVC words. Use the letters to follow the maze to make the word. Then write the word correctly on the lines. Please complete and return by Friday 9th May.
This week we have been learning the ‘wh’ sound. We have been learning how to form it correctly in our writing, building things with wheels and drawing animals with whiskers.
In numeracy, we finished our money topic and began learning about fractions. This week we started investigating equal sharing. We have also been revisiting our numbers before and after and our formation.
We have taken the opportunity to enjoy the lovely weather by playing outside. We have been climbing, jumping, swinging and playing football.
The next class visit from the ECC was also this week. We had great fun showing them how we play in Primary 1.
We have also had lots of fun hula hooping in class this week. Jessica spent a lot of time practising and was very proud when she managed to keep it up! Well done!
Literacy Homework (Week 1 of 4)
Big Talk Homework
Twice a year, the children take part in our whole school ‘Big Talk Homework Challenge’. This is where your child gets the opportunity to prepare and present a talk to the class. The topic will change depending on the focus for that term. This term the class has chosen to talk about ‘My Favourite Animal’ to link in with our Living Things topic. At home, your child should prepare and practise their talk.
Some ideas to include in their talk might be:
The talk should be ready to be presented the week bg Monday 12th May. More details will be given shortly (please check Blog) about which day that week your child will be giving their talk.
We look forward to hearing about their animal!
What a busy first week back we have had. In literacy, we have been learning the ‘ng’ sound. We drew pictures showing ‘I am strong’, we played ‘ng’ games on the chromebooks, we built strong army bases and strong body suits, we did our ironing and hung clothes on hangers.
This week in maths, we have been learning how to calculate change. We played a good game on the Chromebooks called Pay For It. I have attached the link below if you would like to play it at home.

We also had our first class visit from the ECC children. We all had great fun playing together.
We played at the cage outside the games hall this week. It was great fun.
This week we had lots of fun after a very busy term! We made the most of the sunshine with a lovely visit to the park. We also did some meditation with a Body Scan.
We hope everyone has a lovely holiday!
This week we have been learning the ‘ch’ digraph. We have been building, reading and writing ‘ch’ words, creating spring chicks, chopping playdough chocolates, building churches and making trains go ‘chop choo’.
We have also been making totals using money this week.
We had great fun investigating our senses with a fruit tasting session. And then we voted on our favourite and I was very surprised that lemon won. I loved seeing all the sour faces!
Miller also brought in his rugby medal to show the class. We were very proud of your achievement Miller. Well done!
This week we are focusing on counting to 20 and sharing in equal or unequal groups. Please complete and return by Friday 28th March.
This week we have been learning the ‘th’ digraph. We practised how to write it neatly, made Thank You cards, painted thick and thin lines, wrote ‘th’ on teeth and used a toothbrush to clean it and built puppet theatres to perform puppet shows.
In numeracy, we have continued learning about money. We have been investigating the value of the coins and have started exploring making amounts.
We were so proud of Jessica and Charlie this week as they represented our class when presenting during the Power Down Assembly. Well done!
In science, we continued learning about Our Senses. We discussed Taste this week and made a giant tongue for our wall. We talked all about different tastes and are very excited for our fruit taste test next week.
And we also had a fantastic afternoon at the ECC for our Teddy Bears Picnic.
Just to remind everyone to please bring a teddy tomorrow (Tuesday 18th March) We are planning on visiting the ECC to take part in a Teddy Bears Picnic as part of the transition events. Thanks!
