Good evening, I hope you have all enjoyed the sunny weather this weekend! Please see below for homework and class news.

Spelling: This week, our sound is ‘ow’ as in ‘cow’ ‘now’ ‘town’ etc.  Weekly spelling will no longer contain common words as we look to ensure that your child is comfortable using all the sounds we have learned so far in Primary 2.  At parent’s night you will receive a personalised copy of the first 100 common words with highlighted focus words for your child. We will continue to work on these words in class.

Maths: Homework this week will be counting in 3s. We have been practising this in class and it is helping us prepare for learning the 3 times table.

Reading: Reading books will be handed out tomorrow as normal and collected in again on Thursday. There will be no read and munch this week.

News

Thank you so much to everyone who has returned their Parents Night slip – I will see you all this week.

Trip: We can’t wait to go on our trip to Calderglen! Thank you very much to everyone that volunteered to help out – it is much appreciated – we now have some helpers for the day. Letters have been issued about the trip – if your child requires a school packed lunch, please return the slip by next Friday as orders must be placed by the kitchen.

Sports Day: Your child was issued with a letter last week regarding the format of Sports Day. We are in need of 2 parent helpers to walk with our class to the ROF field. We will be leaving around 10.45 (just at the end of break time). Please let me know if you can help.

Recycled items: Thank you so much for all the recycled jars, boxes, tubes and bottles we have received so far! Please keep them coming – we are most appreciative!

Have a wonderful week and as always, thank you for your support.

Good evening,

Homework & News for this week:

Spelling: This week, our sound is ‘ow’ as in ‘cow’ ‘now’ ‘town’ etc. This will be the final week that the children receive common words as part of their spelling homework. At parent’s night you will receive a copy of the first 100 common words and the words your child can practice more will be highlighted and any they haven’t covered can be learned in class.

Maths: Homework this week will be adding in tens. The children were practicing this last week in class and did a great job.

Reading: This term I will be doing final running records as the children begin the penultimate weeks of Primary 2. As always, I am very impressed with the children’s reading and passion for discussing their non-fiction books with their classmates.

News

As I’m sure you’ve heard, we are lucky enough to be going on another school trip! Letters have been sent home with details and a slip to return. Please let me know via the slip if your child requires a school packed lunch on the day. I will also contact those who have offered their assistance on the day via their child’s diary.

A letter was handed out to those who are attending Tuesday’s parents evening. My deepest apologies that I cannot attend. Mr Collins is kindly taking my place and you will each receive a short letter from myself along with your child’s common words list. However, I am looking forward to seeing those attending on the Wednesday.

Remember, this week is a shorter week. We finish on Thursday and return next Tuesday.

Have a lovely week, and thanks for all your continued support.

Reading: Reading books have been issued. Super storytelling voices!

Maths: We have been doing a lot of mental maths work in class and homework this week is to compete in the Sumdog contest. I have been very impressed with childrens addition and subtraction skills, particularly their use of different vocabulary. Paper homework will resume next week.

Parents Night: Thank you for your return of parents night requests. Appointment times have now been issued and I have done my best to accomodate requests. Please let me know if there are any issues regarding your allocation.

Trip: As I’m sure you’ll have heard all about, we are heading to Calderglen Country Park on June 5th! A letter has been issued about trip cost and packed lunches. We will be looking for parent helpers to accompany us – if you are free please pop a note in your child’s diary and I’ll be in touch.

Uganda: I am thoroughly enjoying teaching the children about Africa and hearing their fabulous thoughts and ideas. We will soon be embarking on a Primary 2 enterprise and sustainability project and I am appealing for some material donations! If you have any tubes (eg Pringles or equivalent), larger tin cans or jam jars (I can clean these!) at home that you are finished with then please send them to school – we would be delighted to take them off your hands. All will be revealed in the coming weeks!

Thank you as always for your support and have a super week!

Morning everyone, I hope you have all had a lovely weekend and a good start to the week. Please see below for class news and updates.

Homework

Spelling: There will be no formal spelling homework this week.  Children have been completing common words spelling quizzes in class and after all 100 words have been completed a sheet will be issued to each child highlighting words which they should keep working on. We will continue to focus on these words in class.

Reading: Reading books were issued yesterday. Please encourage your child to use the best storyteller voice they can – I have been hearing some super reading in class over the last few months.

Maths: There will be no written maths homework this week. Children have been focusing on counting in 2s, 3s, 5s, and 10s as well as continuing to learn strategies to double and half numbers. If you are able, ask your child to show you how to double or half a number.

News

Parent’s night slips have been handed out. Thank you for returning these promptly. You should receive your day and time next week.

Our read and munch this week will be on Thursday. Please remember that it is a healthy snack that the children can bring for this.

Thanks and have a great week,

Miss Cauley

Good morning, I hope you all had a lovely weekend in the sun.

Homework

There will be no formal spelling homework this week. Instead, I will be quizzing the children’s knowledge of their common words. Once I have quizzed them on the first 100 words, they will be given a sheet home, showing which words they can spell and which they need to work on. This is to give them enough time over the rest of term to practice their tricky words for moving up to primary 3. Some children will have some highlighted words to focus on.

Reading books will be handed out as normal. From now on, children may keep their reading books over the weekend and return them on Monday. This gives them enough time to read their book and to discuss it with someone at home. I have been impressed by the quality of the reading I have been hearing over the last few weeks.

Maths homework will be a continuation of halves and quarters. Children must shade either 1 half or 1 quarter of the given shapes.

News

Parent’s night slips have been handed out. Thank you for returning these promptly. You should receive your day and time next week.

We will continue to have read and munch on Friday afternoons. Please remember that it is a healthy snack that the children can bring for this.

Thanks for all of your support and have a lovely rest of the week.
