P2/1 W/B 15.5.17

Hi everyone

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Last week, we completed the first level of HeartStart Training. We learned what to do if we found a casualty who was conscious. We also learned the importance of calling 999 (or 112 in Europe) if there was an emergency and to ask for an ambulance if someone was hurt.

I was impressed with the amount of children who knew their home address but not everyone was fully confident. We all agreed that it would be great to learn our address in case there was ever an emergency at home. This is therefore part of our homework this week. I will send home a blank postcard that children can write their address on and then use to practise memorising it.

Here is the other homework this week:

P1

Reading

Wordwall

Sounds (er as in father, ar as in farm)

Blending (th words)

Maths Challenge

 

P2

Reading

Spelling (igh as in high)- Please remember to complete all spelling activities (copy out using SACAWAC, 2 quality sentences, spelling grid)

Spelling Common Words Wall – Please continue to learn and practise words and only highlight in green when fully confident in spelling them.

Maths Grid

 

 

P.E. Kit

We have been very lucky with the weather recently and I am hoping this will continue throughout the majority of this term. Lots of girls are now coming to school wearing summer dresses which is great to see. Can I please ask however that on days when we have P.E. (Wednesdays and Fridays) girls who are wearing a summer dress, come with a change of top to wear during our P.E. lesson. They should not be wearing their dress on top of their shorts for P.E. lessons as it restricts their movement and can cause injury. Thanks!

As always, please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help.

Have a super week!

Miss Cruickshank

P7S Week beginning 15/5/17

P5H – Homework and Reminders – w/b 15.5.17

Good afternoon everyone, are you ready for another busy week?  Please continue reading for your homework and reminders.

Spelling: Please complete lists homophones, or i-e, in your spelling homework jotter for Thursday. Please write out your spelling words 3 times using SaCaWaC in the same way as we do in class. Remember that part of this process is to check and correct your spelling words. Any corrections you have from last week should be completed as part of this week’s homework. You should then choose the 6 spelling words you think you can write the best sentences for and write an up-levelled sentence for each of them. This week we are  again focusing on using an interesting opener for each sentence and I will be assessing your use of them. However, this does not mean I am not checking for ambitious vocabulary and fantastic connectives too. We are trying to use all of these to make your sentences the best they can be.

Reading: Your new core reader was issued on Wednesday by Mrs. Livingstone and you were also assigned your homework. You should complete this task ready for your follow up activities with Mrs. Livingstone on Wednesday 17th May.

Personal Reading Challenge: Your Personal Reading Challenge is continuing throughout this term. There are now 6 weeks left to reach (or beat!) the target you set yourselves this term . Please remember to bring your book to school as this will allow you to read it during ERIC time. Please keep recording the books you have completed this term in your Reading Passport, which is kept in class.

Maths:  Your homework can be found using the links below. This should be completed in your maths homework jotter and handed in on Thursday.

Group 1      Group 2

Spelling: Units 7 and 36 should be completed for Friday. As always, each word should be written out three times. Sentences for 6 of your words should be completed, neatly, in your jotter. Please remember to uplevel your VCOP as much as possible. Wow me with your wonderful sentences!

Reading:  Your core reader was issued last Thursday.  Once again, there will be no written homework as we will continue to complete our comprehension tasks for the core readers 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.

Please remember to read aloud to someone at home and try to use expression where needed. Your reading feedback form should be completed (if possible) by the person hearing you read aloud. This task should be completed for Thursday. Your core reader should be brought to school with you on Thursday to allow you to participate in the class lesson. A number of you are forgetting to do so!

Personal Reading Challenge: Our Personal Reading Challenge has began again. You have 6 weeks to reach the target you set last week. 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. Remember this is your record of the number of books you have read so far this term.

P5S – Library Visit

Image result for library bookworm

Yesterday we popped along to the library to change our books. After the great success of last term’s personal reading challenge we are aiming to keep it going. Once again a number of books were taken out so it looks like a lot of reading will be happening over the next few weeks. I particularly liked the fact that you were discussing the books you had chosen and decided to swap them with one another when you had finished them!

Thank you to our parent helpers. We couldn’t have gone without you!
