There are no new sound cards this week ,instead you could make words with the cards you have. This will let the children see that sounds go together to make words. This can be very difficult at the beginning and it is best if you say the word and let the children repeat it eg. say p – a – n makes pan.
Every child has a reading book for this week. Please use the questions on the card to talk about the book. The children can tell you about the characters in the book as we met them last week.
We will start read and munch on Friday. This is when children can bring a favourite book to school with a healthy snack (fruit, carrot sticks etc) and share a reading time with their classmates.
We are delighted to see how independent the children are becoming with bookbags and at lunchtime. Well done everyone. See you next week.
Just a reminder to send a picture of your child and their family into school this week if possible please. As mentioned at the parents information evening, our current topic is All About Me and we will use the pictures to discuss their family and what/ who is special to them.

Today Primary 1 have started our PATHS pupil of the day. If your child is pupil of the day they will bring home a selection of compliments their classmates/teacher have said about them. It would be great if you could add your own 1 or 2 compliments and return this to school for your child to share with the class.
Each pupil of the day will wear a special medal that day and their name and photo will be displayed on the classroom door to celebrate their special day.
As explained at the information evening, we are sending home a list of suggested maths activities for you to complete at your leisure. All we ask is that you initial or put a tick beside the activity as and when you complete each one.
Homework this week will be revising the sounds (p, i and n.) Links for the songs are below.

This week in class we have found some songs and games we enjoyed. You could try them at home.
Your child has come home with their homework this week. This can be completed at any time during the week but we ask that you send your child’s bookbag into school every day. We sometimes have additional letters or information to send home during the week.
Just a reminder that we have our P1 information evening on Thursday 24th August at 6.45-7.45pm.
We sent home all bookbags for the first time today. If your child had not handed in a bookbag, we have given them a polypocket for the time being. Please ensure you send your child’s bookbag into school each day. We will send bookbags home every night except a Friday.
Inside the bookbags you will find a yellow homework card that will detail homework for that week. Please initial or sign each week to show us homework has been completed. If you have any comments then you can add them to the card in the space provided.
