 Fairytale of the Week:

Our Fairytale of the week is The Ugly Duckling.

We have set up the tuff spot in the class with lots of props and masks for the children to retell the story.

Please encourage your child to retell the Fairytale to you at home. Ask them about the different characters. Where was the story set? What happened in the beginning, middle and end of the story?

Thank you for your continued support.

It appears that the wrong code for Teach Your Monster to Read was put on the P1 homework for this week. The code for P1 is:

www.teachyourmonstertoread.com/u/2507523

This should allow you to have a go at home – I haven’t set any passwords so that it’s easier for children to work it in school. Their usernames are just their first name. I’ll pop a wee card into their homework folder on Monday.

Please note that if you want to use it on a tablet or phone you may have to pay for the app as it was only free for a certain period (but I’ll let you know if they are providing it free again!) however it should be free to play on a computer through the web.

Reminders:

• It is Parents Night this Thursday (14th March). You will have received a text message with your meeting time.

• The Book Fair is in school this week. P1 will be visiting the book fair on Wednesday afternoon to see which books are available. The Book Fair will be open on Parents Night for you to visit.

Literacy:

Please see post from the other day about the ‘Teach your Monster to read’ app.

You can download it from the app store for phones and tablets or just go onto the website on a computer http://www.teachyourmonstertoread.com/u/2608681.

I have registered all the children in the class – they don’t need a password but need to enter the code 2507523 into the star field.

The children have enjoyed Little Red Riding Hood so much that we have decided to make it this week’s Fairytale too.

We had a fantastic day celebrating World Book Day!

We had the opportunity to visit 4 classrooms & listen to 4 different stories:

First we went to Mrs Lennon’s class to listen to The Cat in the Hat. We completed a couple of activities before moving onto Mrs Lang’s class to listen to Cops & Robbers & create a wanted poster.

After playtime we went to Miss Murray’s class to listen to The Tiger Who Came to Tea & have a tea party before finishing in our own class with Mrs Thomson reading The Day the Crayons Quit.

Just a reminder that tomorrow is World Book Day – the children are invited to come along wearing a costume of their favourite character or in their PJ’s for a bedtime story. We have some lovely activities ready for them to take part in!

Friday is the Pancake Breakfast – you are all invited to come along to listen to our lovely singing & enjoy a delicious home-made pancake 🙂 As part of our performance we’d like the children to bring in their teddy bear.

Reminders:

• P1 are singing at 9:15am on Friday at the Pancake Breakfast.Children can bring along a teddy bear on Friday as part of their song.

• It is World Book Day this Thursday, 7th March. Children can come to school dressed as a character from a book or dressed ready for a bedtime story. There will be lots of fun activities throughout the day for them to participate in.

• Comic Relief is on 15th March. Children are invited to bring £1 to wear red or sport crazy hair (or both!)

Today we went to ICT to have a go at painting some familiar characters – Kipper and Floppy! We worked either with a partner or on our own. What do you think?

Just a reminder that tomorrow is our Eco Active Day so children should come to school in their own clothes (suitable for being outdoors & ones you don’t mind getting a little dirty) ready to join in the action packed day!
