Thank you for your continued engagement. A reminder of the different strategies to use to practice spelling words:

https://www.spellingtraining.com/

  • Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check.
  • Mnemonics- Creating sentences using the first letter of each word spells the target word.
  • Elkonin Boxes.
  • Diacritical Marking
  • Drawing pictures to match their words.
  • Morphology- prefixes, root and suffixes.
  • Analogy- Using their knowledge of sounds to spell out their words.

Burns Poems and Song

Hello all,

As we approach Burns week, the pupils have been sent home with their poems and lyrics to the song ‘O Flower of Scotland’.

If they could practise this at home as part of their homework, that would be great!

The pupils are to learn 2, 3 or 4 verses to perform in front of the  class or myself (whatever makes them most comfortable).

Linked below are the 2 poems for each stage in case they lose their sheets!

P5-     Street Talk by JK Annard

P6-      Willy Wastle By Robert Burns

 

Below is the link to our song: 0:00- 3:04

 

Thank you!

Miss Murray
