Good evening.  I hope you all had a great weekend.  Homework and news as follows:

Homework

Spelling

This week our spelling sound is ar as in car and farm.

Reading

We continue our reading books.  In class we have been discussing different strategies to use if we are unsure of a word.  These include looking at the pictures, sounding it out and looking at the rest of the sentence and then going back to the word.

Please continue to practise the wordwalls.  Please remember children can practise more than the highlighted words.  I will be checking these this week and new wordwalls if needed, will be handed out next week.

Maths

Please continue with the number formation homework.  We have been working on Tens and units in class and the children will be given tens and units homework on Wednesday to complete.

News

We had a great week last week and enjoyed making our rainshakers with Miss Bachell during Topic time.

We have our Amazonia trip on Thursday.  We will leave school at 9:15 and return at 2:30.  Children should bring a packed lunch and wear school uniform.  If you have volunteered to be a helper I will put a letter into the diary on Monday to let you know if you are needed.  Thank you.  Can I please also remind you that the trip is costing £10 per child and we would ask for this money to be sent in as soon as possible.  Thank you for your cooperation with this.

You should have received your parent appointment time.  Please let me know as soon as possible if the time does not suit and I will do my best to make a change.

Have a great week.

Mrs Fulton/Mrs MacKenzie
