Good afternoon everyone! I hope you’ve had a super weekend so far. Please see below for homework and class news.
Reading: New reading books will be issued tomorrow.
Spelling: Our sound this week is ‘ay’ as in play, tray, say. We will be discussing how to recognise when to use ‘ay’ and when to use ‘a-e’. Tomorrow I will post some links to online spelling games to help with this.
Wordwalls: These continue to be heard in class. New words may be underlined for your child to learn.
Maths: I absolutely loved reading all the bingo homework sheets. Some great new coin designs and fantastic foreign currency research too! This week a worksheet will be issued to consolidate our understanding of money.
In class we will begin to learn about time. If possible please discuss the idea of routine with your child – eg school starts at 9am, swimming lessons are at 4pm and will last for one hour. This will help children in class as we begin to look at o’clock, half past and the idea of both digital and analogue time.
‘Oor Grandparents’ project: Your child will receive a letter to take home about this final Katie Morag project before the end of term. The children should interview a grandparent (or equivalent) about what it was like when they were younger. They could ask about their favourite sweets, hobbies, school, etc. The children must create a small presentation about their chosen person. This can be in the form of a poster, labelled picture, story- whatever you like! The children must be able to talk about their person and be prepared to answer questions. All the information will be in your child’s letter.
News
It is going to be World Book Day tomorrow in Bishopton Primary! Your child may come as their favourite book character or wear pyjamas to school. If they choose not to wear either, they must come in school uniform. I can’t wait to hear about all your favourite books – I’m reading The Creakers just now and really enjoying it! We will also be having our read & munch with Primary 6G tomorrow. We can’t wait!
Enjoy the week ahead!
