Good evening everyone! I hope you have had a great weekend. We have our first full week of term 3 ahead of us and it is going to be a very busy one.
Spelling: Units 23 and 30 should be completed this week. Our spelling will be changing slightly this term. I will go over these changes with you in class tomorrow.
You should continue to copy each word out three times in your spelling jotter. You should then write an uplevelled sentence (remembering to use interesting VCOP) for the six spelling rule words. This task should be completed by Friday.
Reading: Please read chapters 3 and 4 of our class novel: The Borrowers. As discussed in class, there is no written homework to be completed for this as it will be done in class. However, please remember if you do not complete the reading you will be unable to participate in the class lesson. All reading should be completed for Thursday.
As discussed in class, if you come across any vocabulary that you are unsure of the definition, please use a dictionary to find this out. You may also take a note of it in your Book Detectives jotter (remember to take a note of the page number) and we can discuss it in class.
Personal Reading Challenge: This challenge will be ongoing for the whole term (12 weeks). You have set yourself a personal target based on the number of books read last term and the aim is to reach it (or beat it!) before the end of term. Are you up for the challenge?
Please remember to record the books in your reading passport as you finish them. The passport is kept in class.
Maths: Please click the link below for your maths homework. This task should be completed in your maths homework jotter. You should return this task by Friday. All jotters should now be covered.
A very high standard of work is continuing from the majority of you. Well done! Keep it up!
Please remember you may access the Multiplication and Division Trainer for extra practice if you wish. You can access the links below.
Topic: As part of our mini Scotland topic you must choose a Scottish poem to learn. You will then perform your poem to the class and another stage within the school. We will then have a class winner who will represent our class at our annual Burns’ Assembly at the end of January.
I have selected a number of poems for you to choose from which can be accessed using the link below.
If you have another Scottish poem that you would like to perform instead, please let me know. All poems should be chosen by Friday as this will allow you plenty of time to practice.
- There is a change to the lunch menu this week. On Monday macaroni cheese will be served instead of roast pork.
- P.E. is on Tuesday and Friday. If you have not already done so, please ensure you have a P.E. kit in school. For Tuesday’s session please ensure you have a bottle of water. Please bring in a towel for our next yoga session on Friday.
- All permission slips for our Science Centre trip must be returned to school by Wednesday.
- We will be needing some plastic screw top water bottles (about 20) that we can recycle as ice packs. If you have any you are finished with at home, please bring them to school. We will need them for our hatchery which will be arriving at the end of the month.
- Next Tuesday (17th) we will have another visit to the library to return and choose books. We require one parent helper to come with us. Please click here for all the details.
See you all tomorrow.
Mrs O’Neill
