Good evening everyone. I hope you are all having  great weekend. Please read on for this week’s homework and reminders.

Spelling: Please complete list qu or au in your spelling homework jotter.  Each word should be written out three times. A creative spelling activity, using ALL of your words, should also be completed. Please remember to complete all of the activities before you repeat any. This task should be returned to school by Thursday.

Presentation of your work has been very good from the majority of you, please keep this high standard up. Well done!

Book Detectives: Your Book Detectives homework is due for Wednesday.  This is your last Book Detectives homework for a while so let’s finish with a bang and make it the best yet.

Read chapter 27 then complete your summariser by  including the main points from this chapter.  A detailed, coloured illustration, with a short written explanation, should also be completed. Please choose your favourite part to read aloud to your group members in class and record the chapter, page number and number of the paragraph you have chosen in your Book Detective jotter.

Maths: I have set up 3 challenges on Mangahigh for you to complete. Please ensure you access each game and play to achieve the highest medal you can. I will be looking closely to the results at the end of the week as there are still a number of you who are not completing this task.  Please remember to let me know if you have been unable to access Mangahigh and I will arrange for you to use the IT suite at lunch.

Please complete your  Manga High challenges by Friday.

Topic: You should now be almost finished your personal project.  Please remember to use time to practice presenting your project and ask someone at home to be your audience. Please keep referring to the task sheet to check your success criteria.

Your topic should be brought to school on Thursday 6th October so you can present it to your classmates and myself.  I am looking forward to hearing them all.

Here are your reminders for this week.

1. P.E. will be on Tuesday and Thursday this week. Tuesday’s P.E. session will again be with Primary 5H, therefore you do not need shorts or a t-shirt, however you will need trainers/gym shoes. P.E. on Thursday will be our normal session so please remember full kit.
2. The appointment times for our upcoming Parents’ Evenings will be issued tomorrow (Monday). Please return the tear off slip as soon as possible to confirm your appointment.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. I am not in school on Monday or Tuesday. Your teacher will be Mrs Davidson on Monday and Mrs McIntyre or Tuesday.  I am sure I will receive a great report from both of them.

See you in class on Wednesday.

This week, P2/1 used their paper template to help them cut out their felt. This was a very tricky task! They worked with a partner to help them hold down the template on the felt while they drew round it with chalk. Once the chalk outline was complete, they used scissors to carefully cut around the edge.

Well done to everyone for working so hard and taking their time to complete the task! In our next craft and design lessons, we will be decorating the bunting using various materials. I can’t wait to see how the bunting looks when it’s finished!

P3H are making great progress with their juggling balls craft and design project. They started by creating 3 fantastic designs for their juggling balls.

The design criteria said that the designs should be; bright and colourful, circus-themed and appealing to children.

It was then time to give each other some feedback by using 2 stars and a wish. This is when they think about 2 things they like about the design and 1 thing they would like to improve.

Here are P3/2 hard at work!

Parents night appointment letters were sent home today in the children’s school bags. Can you please confirm that you can attend the allocated time by signing the letter I will collect them on Monday morning.

I hope you also received my letter this week regarding our open afternoon, where the children will be able to share their learning around their topic the ‘Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch’ with you. There will be one parent/guardian per child and it will start at 2pm. The activities will end at approximately 3pm. The children will be performing 2 songs for you all and then you will get the opportunity to come in to class to see our work. There will also be a small picnic prepared by the class. We will be creating special invites for you on Monday morning.

I look forward to seeing many of you on Friday.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Miss Hamilton.
