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

Homework

Spelling sounds this week are oi and oy as in soil and joy.  There will be a new spelling grid out into bookbags this week.  1 activity from the grid should be completed each week if possible.  This can replace or add to the sentence job normally completed on a Wednesday.

Reading books continue.

Maths homework will be looking at 1 hour before and 1 hour after times.

New wordwalls out on Monday.  These will be checked on Thursday 3rd May.

News

Big pedal starts on Monday 23rd April and will run for 2 weeks until Thursday 3rd May.  Children are encouraged to bring in a bike or scooter each day.  A helmet must be worn when riding bikes.  Bikes and scooters can be parked up the stairs near the railing at our classroom door.  This way we can see them and access them from the classroom easily.  We will be outside each day for Big pedal.  If your child does not bring a bike or scooter they will be encouraged to run, skip, jump etc during Big pedal time.

Topic

We started our new Africa topic on Friday.  We talked about what we already know about Africa and on Monday we will discuss what we would like to find out about in this topic.  We may also have a little visitor to our class this week………..

Reading Challenge

If your child has been taking part in the First Minister’s reading challenge, completed booklets should be returned by Friday 27th April.  If you have lost your passport or forgotten to fill it in, pop a note of the approximate amount of books your child has read since August and I will add it to the class total.  Thank you.

Have a great week and thank you for all of your support.
