We will shortly be starting an engineering project in Primary 2. We are in need of shoeboxes for this project. If you happen to have any spares that you are not using could you send it in to your child’s class?
All children have received a list of Scottish poems today.
Pupils should choose a poem to recite in front of their class towards the end of next week (wb 24.1.21). One winner will be chosen from each class. These children will then represent their class at our virtual Scottish whole school assembly.
Children should choose one poem only from the sheet. We would greatly appreciate if you could work with your child to help them learn their poem.
On a Friday afternoon we will continue to do read and munch. Children are welcome to bring in a book they are enjoying or would like to share and a healthy snack if desired.
We hope you have all had a lovely weekend and are ready for the new school week ahead.

Explore the world around you to find other words that use the ou spelling rule. We would love to hear these words in class or write them in your homework jotter.

Maths
The maths homework grid should be attached to your homework assignment on TEAMS. Remember to only complete one activity a week, this can be repeated throughout the week as many times as you would like. The activities chosen should be different each week. This is to give the children some variety and to revise concepts taught throughout the term.
ReadingÂ
Your child has been issued a new book to read at home. If possible you could discuss the content of the book. You could use the three sharing. For example: what your child liked or disliked about the book, their connections or questions about the story. This helps support your child’s comprehension skills.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with your child’s teacher.
