Yesterday we looked at the sound ‘ng’ and had some great word ideas! As king was one of our spelling words, we decided to create some king’s crowns with ‘ng’ words. They turned out beautiful and we had lots of different sound words!

Good afternoon! Here is our homework for the week ahead:

As there is a holiday on Friday, all homework is due in for Thursday. Next week, homework will be given out on Tuesday and due in on Friday.

Reading

Each child has been given a new school reading book to read aloud and discuss this week. These will be collected in on Thursday.

Maths

In class this week we will be looking at addition. The homework sheet is based around this. I have advised the children that they are welcome to borrow a number line from the class should they wish to help them. The sheet should be completed and handed back by Thursday.

Spelling

We discussed the sound ‘ng’ today and came up with some fantastic words! The spelling words we chose were:

king, long, song and wing.

Our four common words this week are:

for, on, are and as.

As always, please ask if you have any queries either through the homework diary or at the end of the day.

Please remind children to hand in any letters they may have in the mornings along with their diary.

I have posted the solo talk instructions as a reminder. The children have already been sharing information about who they have been interviewing and seem excited to share this with the class.

Solo Talk Homework

This term the children are learning about People Who Help Us. They have been looking at various jobs within the community. We would like the children to investigate jobs a little further by delivering a solo talk. This should be about a job which someone in your family does.

The solo talk could include the following information:

• Job Title
• Why the adult selected this job.
• Duties involved in the job.
• Uniform required.
• Any extra information.

We will be looking for:

• Good eye contact with the audience.
• Clear projection of voice.
• Good pace.
• Notes used effectively.
• Children should not be reading their solo talk from a piece of paper.

The children should be prepared to deliver their solo talk the week beginning 24^th September.

We look forward to hearing these amazing presentations!

Today we had a fantastic day in Primary 2! We all rotated around the different classes to do different things in the world of maths. In the Shape classroom, we created our own shape characters! We gave them names and thought about the sides and corners of each shape. Then in the afternoon, we were so lucky to have so many family members join us for some 3D shape monster modelling, 2D shape, patten construction and different maths games. We had a fantastic time. Thanks again to everyone who could make it. I hope you enjoyed your afternoon.

Today we were very lucky to have Primary 4M come down to help us to log onto sumdog. We played maths games together and really enjoyed having them help us! We all really enjoyed it.

We have been having great fun celebrating all things maths and numeracy so far. The boys and girls have been helping me count as unfortunately I sometimes miss numbers! They told me the correct number each time I accidentally missed one out. We also made our own maths hats, which were designed with lots of maths such as shapes, numbers and sums. Today we did a 3D shape investigation to find out the properties of different 3D shapes. We enjoyed working together to learn this. Finally today, we took part in a STEM task to create our own representations of the Erskine bridge using 2D shapes. We have really enjoyed the activities so far and look forward to the rest of the week. I look forward to seeing some of you at our open afternoon on Thursday between 2 and 3pm. Remember to come in via the office and make your way down to the classroom.

Hi there

As this week is maths week, the homework will be slightly different. It will have more of a maths focus.

Tasks this week:

• Park Mains cluster Homework Activity.  This is inside the homework folder.  You can record this in your diary.

• Sumdog Competition. Please try and go on Sumdog each night.  The children have stuck their username and password into the front of their diaries today. If you type sumdog into Google you will be able to find it. It involves a series of maths games.

• Reading Challenge. How many different books can you read            by Friday? Put a tick in your dairy to help record this each day.

• There will be no formal reading or spelling homework  issued this week. Sh, Ch and Th will be revised in class.

A solo talk sheet has also been issued for your child to prepare a talk to complete in front of their class. This is due by the week beginning 24th September. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Miss Grant
