Block Two (January – April 2026)

Hello and welcome to the P7 school web page!  We hope you had a lovely festive break.  We are excited to be back and ready to begin what will be a very busy block.  Here is what we have planned for Block 2.

Our Pathway of Promises and Branches of Brilliance:

As a class, we have been discussing how important it is to remember the school values of SAFE, READY and RESPECTFUL as well as our class charter and the promises we made to each other at the beginning of the school year.  We are continuing to use our recognition to celebrate those of us that are working hard to show these values and keep to the promises we made.

Homework:

Our homework will consist of reading and spelling.

The reading homework will be written into the reading record, children are encouraged to be heard reading at home and their reading record should be signed by a parent/carer before being returned.

Spelling should be practiced in any way that suits the children. They can make it into a game or be creative with it.

This will be sent out on a Friday and should be returned by a Wednesday.
(*The reading book should be returned to their schoolbag after it has been read as it must be brought into school every day for our reading groups).
