Good evening everyone! I hope you all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed playing in the snow. Homework and news is as follows:

Homework

Spelling – This weeks magic e sound is i_e as in kite, bite , fine. Words should be written out twice and one sentence that includes a selection of spelling words written in your child’s homework jotter. There have been some very creative sentences arriving on my desk this term – they are a pleasure to read.

Reading books  – Reading books have been issued today. Our language focus this term is story writing, so if possible, please discuss the setting of the reading book with your child.

Wordwalls – Wordwalls were issued last week and will be heard over the coming fortnight.

Maths – This week our numeracy focus is sharing between 2 or halving. There is a sheet to complete. Children can also play Hit The Button, selecting the ‘halves’ category.

News

Today I heard most of the class reciting their Scottish poems. All the children were fantastic and it was a real pleasure to listen to them. They should all be very proud. Children will now have the opportunity to recite their poem to another class. A class winner then will be chosen and they will represent our class at the Burns assembly in school.

We are also enjoying learning about Scottish traditions and have been singing some Scottish songs.  So far we have learned ‘Ye Cannae Shove Yer Granny Aff A Bus’ (complete with instruments!), and we’re also learning the Jeely Piece song. We have some super singers in P2C!

Have a great week ahead,

Miss Cauley
