Dear Parent/Carer

WORLD BOOK DAY 7th March 2019

World Book Day is a celebration! It’s a celebration of authors, illustrators, books and (most importantly) it’s a celebration of reading. In fact, it’s the biggest celebration of its kind, designated by UNESCO as a worldwide celebration of books and reading, and marked in over 100 countries all over the world.

The purpose of the day is to engage children with reading and encourage children to explore the pleasures of books and reading by providing them with the opportunity to have a book of their own.

Over the year’s we’ve had some amazing celebrations including storytelling, visits to the library, dressing up and so on. All designed to promote reading.

In line with our family learning drive each class will focus the weekly home learning on reading and how precious books are. All parents are invited to visit their class to read a story with them.

As we are celebrating International Women’s Day that week classes are focussing on books written by female authors as indicated below. There will be an assembly to allow classes to showcase their learning. Your child’s home learning task is

• To find a book written by your chosen author online/ from your home, the library or school.

• Be able to re-tell the story through talk, drama, art or writing.

• Dress as a character from the story on World Book Day if you wish. (Please note: World Book Day is not about expensive costumes or fancy dress, it is about celebrating books and reading. You are under no pressure for your child to dress up.)

Please choose 1 author appropriate to your class:

• Primary 1a will be looking at different books written by Julia Donaldson! She wrote The Gruffalo, The Gruffalos Child, Stick Man, A Squash and a Squeeze and our class favourite The Scarecrows Wedding!! ( as well as many more)!

We will have loads of other activities and will look forward to seeing all parents in to read with their children from 2.30pm on Thursday 7^th March.

Please look for further information on our website, including some world book day challenges.

Thank you so much. Children are made readers on the laps of their parents.

This week our reading book is ‘The Dream’. We noticed that Biff had a thought bubble coming out of her head on the front cover. We explored thought bubbles some more and used our digital skills to create a learning video about thought bubbles! Have a look at our work!

اس ہفتے ہماری پڑھنے والی کتاب ‘خواب’ ہے. ہم نے محسوس کیا کہ بیف نے اس کا سر سامنے کا احاطہ کرنے کے لۓ ایک سوچ بلبلا تھا. ہم نے صوتی بلبلوں کو مزید کچھ تلاش کیا اور ہماری ڈیجیٹل مہارتوں کو سوچا بلبلی کے بارے میں سیکھنے والی ویڈیو تخلیق کرنے کے لئے استعمال کیا! ہمارے کام پر نظر رکھو!

We have had loads of fun sharing our stories from the long weekend! No homework this week but have a look in bags on Monday for next week’s homework and reading books!

On Wednesday, Mrs Thomas came to teach us more about syllables through music!

We have also been learning a new strategy to solve addition problems. We already know we can use our fingers, cubes and we can draw a picture to solve problems! Today we were learning how to use a number line! Have a look at our learning and ask us to show you how to use a number line at home!

This week we have been working on our reading skills. Here is Musa reading some of his Key Words! Well Done Musa!

Aila was working with the blending lights to blend words with our new ‘oo’ sound!

We are still learning all about Glasgow! Eshaal remembered that we had gone on a trip way back in September and had seen The Hydro! Miss Kinloch searched for the photo and we remembered being there!

Mano managed to write all her numbers to 40 this week! We talked a little bit about tens and units and how we can ‘draw’ numbers too!

Remember! No school on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday next week!

Have a fabulous February Break!

This week we had a visit from from the RSPB. We were learning all about nature. We looked for colours in the playground.  We were learning all about our senses. We use our eyes to see,  our nose to smell,  our hands to touch, and mouth to taste.

We also formed a band this week in music. We played lots of different instruments. We played the drum, the shaker, the triangle and the wood block.  Have a look at the video below to see our performance.

We have been learning all about Glasgow. Have a look at the display boards below.

We have also been practising everything we are getting very good at recognising familiar words. Please help us to do this at home by practising these words.

Every day, we practise our number formation to 20. We always try to form our numbers better than we did the day before. We look to check that our numbers are facing the right way too. You can do activities like this with us at home, look at some of our fantastic formation!

Eshaal combined her knowledge of pattern and money to make a coin pattern!

The boys had loads of fun making a dinosaur castle with the blocks during choosing time!

Have a fun filled weekend!
