Please do no hesitate to ask if you are unsure of anything.

Primary 1H have completed their bunting project!

Today in class they were evaluating their work. They had to think about WWW – What Went Well and how it could be EBI – Even Better If.

Here are P1H evaluating their work:

I hope you had a lovely weekend in the sunshine.   This weeks homework and news is as follows:

P2 Homework

Spelling – This week our homework words contain short vowel sounds – a,e,i,o, u.  These words have the sound of these vowels in them. e.g pen

Reading homework – This term we have a focus on non fiction texts.  This week our books will be non fiction.  The books will be at a suitable level for your child to read but they may need help with unfamiliar words.

Maths homework – We are starting our new money topic this week.  Our maths homework will be money related.

P3 Homework

Spelling – This weeks spelling sound is ir.

Reading books will be non fiction.  These books will be at a suitable level but your child may need help with unfamiliar words.

Reading comprehension for Friday

Maths homework will be money revision looking at concepts we should remember from P2.

On Tuesday we have our school trip to Scotland Street Museum.  Children should wear their school uniform and remember to bring a packed lunch if they did not request a school one.  We will have an early lunch before we leave at 12pm.

On Monday we have a post graduate teaching student starting to work with us.  He will be with us for 6 weeks.  Mr Bradley is very much looking forward to this placement.

Have a great week.

Mrs Fulton

New sounds g and o.  Continue to practise all other sounds.

Wordwalls-if your child has a highlighted word on their wall, that means that I am happy they have shown me they are secure with the word.  Please concentrate on the words which have been dotted.  Words should be practised every night in and out of the order they appear on the wall to avoid children memorising them!

New reading books-swapped on Wednesday.  Please ensure your child has their reading book in their bag every day so that we have enough copies to swap.

Maths -booklet activity at any point in the week.

Toys sheet-at any point-if you don’t see Grandparents until the weekend then it is fine to leave it until then.

As  it begins to get colder, please ensure your child is appropriately dressed for going out in the chillier weather as we continue to do our daily mile.  Gloves, scarves and hats should be named clearly .

We are going to the library on Tuesday this week.  Children will all bring a library book home for you to enjoy with them.

Thank you for your parent evening appointment letters.  I will be putting a note in your child’s book bag on Monday with your alloted time.  I have tried to accommodate requests as much as possible and look forward to meeting with you  all.

Best wishes

Mrs Hunter

During technologies, the class are learning to understand simple computer programming. We have been using the ScratchJr app for tablets and iPads. This is a great app that introduces computer coding to 5-7 year olds. You can find out more information about this free app on the website by clicking the picture above.

If you or your child has a tablet, you can download the app to use at home. Let me know if you manage to create something together using ScratchJr at home!

After completing the new and improved lunchboxes for Mr Grinling, it was time to test them out! The lunchboxes were sent down the line one at a time to see how well (or not so well!) they travelled from top to bottom. We used a water spray to pretend it was raining to test how waterproof the boxes were. We also pelted the boxes with balls of paper to see how they would withstand being hit and poked at by the seagulls.

Sadly, some of the lunchboxes did not make it down the line. However, the designers quickly suggested improvements they would make to stop this from happening again. Everyone did a really great job and could explain what they had done well throughout the whole design process, and what they would improve for next time.

Well done P3/2!
