Good evening.  Sorry about the post delay.  Glow was having technical issues this past weekend!!

Homework

Spelling homework this week is look at y at the end of words  – as in holly, story, sorry, party.

Maths Homework this week is looking at counting in 2s and 5s.  These skills are very useful when we look at money combinations later in Primary 2.

Reading books continue.  We will continue to look at fiction books until the end of term.  This is helping us with our reading focus of looking at the beginning, middle and end of stories.  After Christmas we will look at non fiction texts.

Wordwalls will be checked on Tuesday this week.

We are off school on Thursday 30th December for St Andrews day.

On Friday 1st December we have our school Christmas house art day.  This is where the children work in their house teams to create a piece of large art for the school display areas.  This year our theme is Christmas carols.  Pupils should wear their house colours –

Hawks (green)

Falcons (blue)

Eagles (yellow)

Ospreys (red)

The children will be using lots of art materials including glue, paint and drawing materials.  It is a fabulous day and we can’t wait.

On Saturday 2nd December the school fair will take place in the school between 1pm and 3pm.

We are looking for more parent helpers to accompany us on our local community walk on Friday 8th December.  If you are able to join us between 9am and 10:30 on this day please pop a note in the diary.

A reminder that the short read, write count event takes place on Tuesday afternoon.

Thank you for all of your continued help and support.

We are planning to have our P2 woodland and local community walk on Friday 8th December. (weather permitting)  The children have been learning about the Forestry Commission and ways in which our woodland areas in Scotland are very useful and important to our society.  We watched this video together and had a wonderful discussion about the importance of looking after our woodland areas and our local community.

If you are able to join us on our walk, please pop a note in the diary and we will be in touch as soon as possible.  We aim to leave the school at 9:15 and be back by playtime at 10:30.  Thank you in advance.

This Friday we will continue our read and munch.  Pupils are welcome to bring in a healthy snack and story to read in class.

In the next couple of week we will be beginning our formal French lessons in class. We intend to embed this Language in our everyday routines so prepare for the children to be using French at home and singing some French songs!!!

Merci beaucoup

This term we hope to get outside as much as the weather allows for lots of different subjects.  As such I would be grateful if pupils could bring in a pair of wellingtons for the class to use as and when is needed.  (some children have wellingtons in class already so these are fine)Thank you in advance for this.  They can take them home each week if necessary for weekend activities.

Have a great week.
