Good evening, and welcome back!

I hope you all had an enjoyable/restful/fun-filled Easter break. Homework and news as follows:

Spelling & Reading

This week our spelling rule is ‘igh’ as in sight, light, high, thigh etc.

All children have a new reading book this week and all children are now on higher book bands. Please continue to discuss your child’s reading book with them, asking what happened, what they liked/disliked, and so on. Some children may be asked to keep their book for two weeks due to the length of their text; I will write a note in the diaries of those this applies to.

No maths homework this week. 

Although the children may wish to play games online such as Sum Dog and Hit the Button.

We will start to focus more on our targets booklets. Please feel free to add targets with your child as these are their personal targets and they adapt or change them as they feel is best.

News

This week we will be starting our new topic all about Africa.  As you know one of our Primary 2 teachers Miss Cauley, will be visiting in the summer and we are so excited to learn about this continent before she goes.  The children will be involved in a discussion to determine what they would like to learn and what they already know.

Big Pedal starts on Monday 23rd April and runs for 2 weeks.  The children are encouraged to scoot or cycle to school if possible.  We will have time during the day for Big pedal time too in the school playground.  The children should bring a helmet.  If the children do not bring a scooter or bike they will be encouraged to share and take part in physical activity at these times.

Thanks for all of your continued support as we set off into the final term of the year.

Miss B
