Primary 4 have been learning how to classify animals as part of the Science curriculum this term. This week we have been studying invertebrates and how scientists group these using their characteristics. Today we spent time in the Secret Garden hunting for invertebrates and grouping these appropriately. We were not disappointed, we found a huge variety of different species and we had great fun in the process!

Numeracy – This week is Financial Numeracy week and we will be learning about money in the world. The children will be investigating the links between jobs and money.
For homework I have asked each child to discuss with a parent/guardian the following points;
Do you need a qualification for this job? What is it?
How much is the salary in a job like this?
Enterprise
Primary 2 are selling animal rubbers this week as part of Financial Numeracy week. Each rubber costs 60p and all proceeds raised will be donated to the SPCA. Any pupil wishing to buy a rubber can do so this week.
Congratulations to all pupils in Stevenson House who will be going on an outing this week as a treat for being the winning house this year. If your child is attending please ensure they have a waterproof jacket and sensible footwear that day.
Show week has finally arrived and the boys and girls are very excited to perform for their family and friends! We anticipate all children will attend both evening performances on Wednesday and Thursday unless you have contacted me to advise otherwise. P4 and 5 will meet in the Family room and pupils should arrive between 6.15pm and 6.30pm, allowing adequate time to get changed for show time at 7pm.
Pupils should bring a full water bottle and may bring a small snack to consume during the interval. It is requested that the children do not bring any electronic devices. Activities will be on offer to keep the children occupied when they are not on stage performing.
Children will return to the family room at the end of the performance and will be dismissed via the main door at 9pm. All children must be collected by an adult.
We look forward to seeing many of you and hope you enjoy the show. Thank you for your support!
Complete the spelling task in the homework jotter over Monday and Tuesday nights.
