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:

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.

Good afternoon everyone! It’s that time of the week again. Please keep reading for  a rundown of your homework and reminders for this week.

Spelling:  Units 28 and 35 should be completed for Friday. As always, each word should be written out three times and an uplevelled sentence should be written for each spelling rule word. Please remember to consider your VCOP in each sentence. This week we will be focusing on using more ambitious vocabulary in each sentence again. Please ensure you are including more ambitious vocabulary in your sentences.

Reading:  Last week you chose a new core reader for reading at home. Please complete the book for Thursday 2nd March. There will be no written homework for this as all tasks will be completed in class. As always, if there is any vocabulary you are unsure of, please take a note of it and we will discuss it in class on Thursday.

Personal Reading Challenge: We now have 5 weeks of reading left. 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. Please remember to bring your book to school as this will allow you to read it during our ERIC sessions.

Please remember to record the books in your reading passport as you finish them. The passport is kept in class.

Listening & Talking: This week you have a solo presentation to present. On Tuesday you will be presenting your presentation to the class. 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.

All PowerPoints should now have been sent to me to check that they will open on the class computer.

Maths: Please complete the word problems for your group by Friday. I have linked some of the questions to our Fractions topic therefore you should think carefully as to which operation would be best used in these calculations.  All workings should be shown and a sentence answer should be given for each question. Please use the links below to access your questions.

Please keep up the high standard of work.
