Hello and Welcome to P4 with Miss Gibbons and Mr Murray

We hope you have all had a lovely summer. We have had a great first week settling in, getting to know each other and establishing routines. We have a lovely class with 32 pupils who have come from two different classes last year.

We will have PE on a Wednesday and Friday so it would be great if the children could have their full PE kit with them on both these days. We will try and go outside for PE as much as possible, weather permitting.

Homework will be issued every monday and has to be handed in on a Friday. Each of the children have their own homework diary detailing what they have to do each night. Usually we will have

Monday – spelling

Tuesday – spelling

Wednesday – Maths

Thursday – topic related homework

Friday – spelling test. All homework to be handed in.

This term our topic will be on investigating plants and birds. We will be looking at the life cycle of different plants and birds and investigating different plants and birds within our local environment.

Future topics will include Famous Scots: Robert and Bruce, Spain and the soft shoe shuffle.

At the moment the children are working on the Hodgeheg as our class novel. Through this novel we will be able to work on our reading strategies as a class before getting our own reading books in a few weeks time.

Please keep an eye on our page for updates 🙂 We are looking forward to any comments you may have.
