Good morning everyone, I hope you are having a lovely weekend and relaxing after all the hard work you put in to make our fundraising event such a success! Please continue reading for your homework and reminders.
Spelling: Please complete lists a for o or est in your spelling homework jotter for Thursday. Please continue to write out your spelling words 3 times using SaCaWaC in the same way as we do in class. You should then write a sentence for each of your first 6 spelling words. We are again concentrating on the V of VCOP – vocabulary this week. You should be trying to have at least one wow word in each sentence (many of you should be aiming for more). I will again be focusing on assessing your fabulous vocabulary.
Reading: We are continuing with our novel study – Danny the Champion of the World. Please remember if you do not complete the reading you will be unable to take part in the class lesson. Please read chapters 13, 14 and 15 for Tuesday 28th February.
If there are words that you don’t understand please take a note of them in your Book Detectives jotter (remembering the page number) and, if possible, use a dictionary to find out their meaning . We will start our lesson by discussing them in class.
Personal Reading Challenge: Your challenge will be on going for the whole of this term (6 weeks to go!). I am delighted to see so many of you continuing to fill in your Personal Reading Passports. Remember to choose your books carefully to ensure they are at the correct level for you – not too easy or too hard. You can bring your book into school as this will allow you to read it during our ERIC time.
Listening & Talking: This term you have a solo presentation to complete. You are responsible for planning, organising and preparing your presentation which you will be presenting in class on Tuesday 28th February. Please click here to see the task sheet with all of the details required. If you require a paper copy of the task sheet, please ask me and I will arrange one for you.
Maths: I have posted another set of worded problems on your maths homework blog. Please complete these in your maths homework jotter. As always, please read each question carefully. You should ensure you are showing workings AND giving a full sentence answer. This homework is due for Thursday.
A high standard of work is being produced from the majority of you. Well done, keep it up!
Both group 1 and group 2 can find their maths homework here:
As you are aware we will be starting our fraction topic soon and it is very important that you know all your tables as this will make working with fractions much easier. Please remember to access the Multiplication and Division Trainers for extra practice.

Primary 5 have the opportunity to visit the City Halls in Glasgow to be part of the audience for the Ten Pieces concert being held on Wednesday 1st March. A letter and consent form have been issued with all of the relevant information. Please remember to return your consent form and permission slip as soon as possible. We have been very lucky and have already had a volunteer for our parent helper. Thank you.
Here are your reminders for this week:
- P.E. will be on Tuesday and Thursday this week. Please ensure you have a P.E. kit in school. Please also remember to have a bottle of water with you as you will be working hard.
- For those of you who haven’t already done so, please cover all your homework jotters. This helps to keep your jotters in good condition.
- Some of you have already brought in an old shirt or tee-shirt to cover your uniform during our art activities. For those of you have not, we will be working on our River Clyde mural throughout the topic so it would be good if you could manage to bring one in. This can be left in school until the end of term/session if you wish.
- Please remember if anyone at home is (or has been) linked to the River Clyde in any way through work, we would love to hear from them. Please click here for further information.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
See you all on Monday.
Mrs. Hughes.
