Scottish poems will be heard on Monday 22nd January. As such, you may wish to take out their poem from their bookbags and keep it at home over the weekend for extra practise. I can’t wait to hear them all.
Target booklets have started to go out this week. All will be in bookbags by Monday home time for you to look at and discuss with your children. It has been great to discuss these targets with the children and look at areas where they want to progress and challenge themselves.

Last week we started our new Katie Morag topic. This week we will working together to create our wall display. If anyone has any Katie Morag books at home, it would great if the children could bring them in to share with the class. We will be sending home our Julia Donaldson books this week. Thank you to all who let their children send these in for our Stickman topic.
In class we have been talking about targets and things we would like to achieve. This week your child will come home with a target booklet and they will show you their short term targets for Maths, Language and Health and Wellbeing. This will be discussed and created with your child in class. Feel free to add a home target in the parent/guardian box at the bottom of the page. These targets will be looked at every couple of weeks to check how they are getting on. The target booklets will be kept in their bookbags.
Thanks as always for your support.
