PE shoes

Hello all,

Just a wee reminder that all children should bring indoor shoes on Monday and Wednesday for PE. We are doing gymnastics and the outdoor shoes can damage the mats and any moisture from outside can cause pupils to slip and hurt themselves!

Any pupils that don’t bring shoes for PE will not be allowed to take part.

Thank you!

Miss Murray

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.
