Week Ending 13/06/26

What a busy week was had by all!

On Wednesday, we got to take part in a fabulous music workshop with the Bernadetti Foundation. The pupils were so engaged and we had many a volunteer to take part. After that, we got stuck into some subtraction problems. We have been learning to use a written calculation and had fun writing these out on the desks. In the afternoon, we wrote instructions for making toast and jam. See the SWAY below to find out how we ‘put the jam on’.

On Thursday, we enjoyed music with Mrs MJ, we have been learning about different instruments from the strings section. We continued our work on subtraction and were reading too.

On Friday we had STEM with Mrs Rooney, followed by more maths and leadership groups. Somewhere in between we had time to make some special cards. We hope all our ‘Mothers and Others’ enjoyed them!

Ready for a busy week with archaeology Scotland!

Spelling

Good afternoon,

The children had a ball making butter with Mrs Cunningham this morning as part of their health and wellbeing lesson. Our quality assurance officer (Mr Butler) gave high praise, stating that it tasted as good as, if not better than, shop bought butter!

 

Please click on the link below for this week’s spelling list. The phoneme is /j/ and its spelling variations include ‘j’, ‘g’, ‘dge’, and ‘ge’.

Spelling

Good morning,
The children have been focussing so well in spelling and enjoying the different activities to embed their learning in class. Please find the link to the new spelling phoneme below, ‘ll’. 
Spelling is practised over two weeks, with an assessment in class every second week. Remember, once your child is confident with their own spelling word list, they are encouraged to try another group’s words. They could also come up with some words of their own to add to their list.

Spelling ll – le – el – al

 

You could try one of the activities below to practise your spelling.

 

Week Beginning 23/02/26

We have been having a great time in P.E using the apparatus, the children are becoming so confident!

Although not photographed, we have been working really hard back in class. The children have lots of facts about our Scottish cities- I hope they have been remembering to test you all at home!

We are making super progress within subtraction and are using a range of strategies to help us answer questions correctly. We have enjoyed using concrete materials and blank numberlines.

In literacy we have written an excellent factfile about the city of Glasgow and have started researching a city of our choice using our new Chromebooks.

Remember we are hosting a ‘sharing the learning’ event this Thursday at 2pm. The focus is on reading and we can’t wait to show you what we get up to!
