Good afternoon, I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.  News and Homework as follows:

Homework

This week is Maths weeks and as such there will be no reading or spelling homework.  In class we will still be completing ERIC time (Tuesday)and read and munch (Thursday) and I will also continue to hear the children reading individually to set their level.  Children should read for pleasure this week and try and read a little each night.

In class we will be revising our first 3 sounds – sh, th and ch.  This can also be done at home.  This is a link to the game the children have been playing in class to learn their sounds.  http://www.ictgames.com/forestPhonics/fullV_public/index.html

For Maths homework this week, Pupils will be issued with a maths bingo sheet on Monday.  Pupils can complete as many challenges as they wish.

Children now have their Sumdog usernames and passwords in their homework diaries.  It would be great if the pupils play this at home this week.

News

This week is Maths week and the children will be involved in lots of fun maths activities.   On Thursday 14th September we plan to walk to the coop.  The pupils are allowed to bring £1 to spend if they wish.  We will also be recording some prices and working with a partner to note down different items and prices in the shop.  We are looking for 2 adult helpers to join us if possible.  We will be going between 9:30 and 10:30.  If you think you can help please pop a wee note in the bag or diary on Monday night and I will get back to you as soon as possible with arrangements.

Pupils were given a brown envelope on Thursday containing letters.  Please ensure these are returned as one of them is the local walking permission that we need for Thursday.  Thank you in advance.

Thank you as always for your support.
