This week’s sound is magic ‘a-e’ (name, tape, sale etc). Practise reading the ‘a-e’ words at the back of your homework jotter.
Complete the ‘a-e’ worksheet and stick it in your jotter.

Spelling
We will continue to practise these words – all, you, they.
Write a sentence using each word. Remember a capital at the beginning and a full stop at the end. Underline the spelling word too.
Common Reading Words
Practise reading all the common words from your word wallet or the word wall highlighted in green at the back of your jotter. Practise them every night.
Reading
We will be learning about summarising the beginning, middle and end of a story. Give a statement from the book and ask your child if it happened at the BEGINNING, MIDDLE or END of the story. Get them to find the exact page that proves they are correct. Ask your child questions about the story to check their understanding too.
Maths
We will be learning to split the numbers 9 and 10. How many different ways can you do it? Remember when you find one way, swap the numbers for another way eg. 8 + 1 = 9
1 + 8 = 9
You should find 10 sums when you split 9 and 11 sums when you split 10.
Ask your child sums orally. Can they get the answer quickly? Practise every night to get quicker.
Personal Project – Talking and Listening
Hopefully the children will be well on their way to finding out about one aspect of Scotland as part of their personal project. Remember they will get to present it to the class so they should be very familiar with the facts they have written about. They could research anything of interest to them (Scottish food and drink, the Loch Ness Monster, their family clan and tartan, a famous Scottish person or place etc). They have been given some paper and a poly pocket to keep their project in (you may wish to put it into a ring binder or folder too). They should design a front cover and have information and drawings using both computer and hand written/drawn work. The project should be returned by Monday 29th January. Look back at the homework for 9th January to get some examples of the type of work that could be done.
