Good morning everyone,

I’d like to inform you that Miss Donaldson P5, Mrs Macleod P4/5 and I have collaborated to plan and organise a series of progressive lessons suitable for the age and stage of our learners. As noted in the cover letter, if you look at the blog for your child’s class and it is too difficult, go to the class below for support and keep going if necessary until they find the learning that suits them. Likewise, if it is too easy, please go to the class above for challenge. If you would like to complete more, then pupils can try another class’s blog.

Together, we have outlined weekly Literacy lessons to cover:

Spelling > Handwriting > Comprehension > Grammar/ Punctuation > Writing focus/ Free writing.

Also, our Numeracy and Maths lessons will cover:

Place Value > Addition > Subtraction > Multiplication > Challenge Problem Solving or Other.

Children should complete:

• learning tasks on the blog in their jotter provided daily
• at least 10 minutes of Sumdog Literacy and Maths
• an activity from the grids in their packs or do a page of their booklet.

Monday 23rd March

LOOK: at a small group of words and their letter patterns.

SAY: the words quietly, thinking about the letter patterns.

COVER: the key word list.

CHECK: how many you have spelt correctly. If you need to, have another go.
