This year our teacher is Mrs Fulton.
Our P.E days are a Monday and Friday this year. Please ensure your child has the appropriate gym kit on these days.
Class Dojo 
Please join our class dojo to keep up to date with class news, photos and more! You can use dojo to view the points your child has been given and to view our class dojo story.
Microsoft Teams 
To help us continue to develop the skills we learned over remote learning, each class from P4-7 has a class Microsoft Team. This team will be used to issue homework each week. Pupils can use the team to access and submit their homework. Teachers will then provide feedback via Microsoft Teams. Pupils can access Microsoft Teams using their glow login and password. If you are unable to access Microsoft Teams at home, a paper copy of the homework will be issued in school.
You can find help on how to access and work teams on our website under the ‘Help and Support’ tab.
Homework 
Each week, Primary 4 will receive Reading, Literacy and Numeracy homework. All homework will be issued on a Monday to be returned on a Friday. The types of homework task assigned each week will vary between written and active tasks.
The homework assigned each week will be noted in your child’s homework diary and posted on our class Microsoft Team.
Some children will receive a reading book every week and others bi-weekly. This will depend on the type of book the child is reading.
Reminder
Please ensure that all items that your child brings to school are clearly marked with their name. This is very helpful if items get misplaced!
Here are some of the exciting things we will be learning this term…
Literacy

We will also begin our class novel study this term. We will be reading ‘The Creakers’ by Tom Fletcher. We will take part in a range of reading tasks as well as link this to other areas of the curriculum.
Writing
We are continuing with our ‘Talk for Writing’ approach this year. This term, we will be focusing on a finding tale, using The Magic Paintbrush as inspiration. Talk for writing allows us to develop our writing skills through a range of activities such as drama and short burst writing tasks.
