P5H Homework and Reminders – w/b 27.2.17

 

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you are having a lovely weekend. I have had a look at the photographs Mrs. O’Neill posted of your trout biology task, you all look as if you put a lot of effort into them. It also looks as if you had a successful trout release on Thursday, I was so disappointed to miss it. Please continue reading for your homework and reminders.

Spelling: Please complete lists al, au, aw  or el,il 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. You have been trying very hard to include ambitious vocabulary in your sentences and I have been impressed by many of the words you have used. Please continue to do this. This week we will be concentrating on the C of VCOP – connectives. You should include at least one connective in each sentence. Try to choose something more interesting than and or but. I will be focusing on assessing your connectives, however I will still be looking for fantastic vocabulary too.

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 remember your homework was to  read chapters 16, 17 and 18 for Wednesday 8th March.

If there are any 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: You now only have 5 weeks of reading left to complete your challenge. 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: You will be presenting your solo talk to the class on Tuesday. Please click here to see the task sheet with all of the details required. If you have any resources that need to be used on the computer please bring them in on Monday so we can check that they will work.

Maths:  Mrs O’Neill has 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:

Here are your reminders for this week:

  1. 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.
  2. If you have not returned your consent form and payment for the Ten Pieces concert on Wednesday, please return them as soon as possible.
  3. Please remember to bring in a packed lunch on Wednesday as we will be out of school at our usual lunch time.
  4. World Book Day is on Thursday. All money raised for your readathon should be brought to school on this day. You may also wear your PJs/onesie to school or dress up as a character from your favourite book. A £1 donation is suggested for doing so. If you are not taking part in the dressing up, school uniform should be worn. Please remember to bring your favourite book with you too.
  5. We will be visiting Bishopton Library on Tues 7th March between break and lunch. We need 2 parent helpers to accompany us on this visit. If anyone at home can help us with us please ask them to put a note in your homework diary.
  6. As we will be working on our River Clyde mural throughout our topic it would be good if you could bring in an old t-shirt or shirt to keep your uniform clean.
  7. 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.

I look forward to catching up with you all on Monday.

Mrs. Hughes
