Good afternoon everyone! I hope you’ve had a super weekend so far. Please see below for homework and class news.

Reading: New reading books will be issued tomorrow.

Spelling: Our sound this week is ‘ay’ as in play, tray, say. We will be discussing how to recognise when to use ‘ay’ and when to use ‘a-e’. Tomorrow I will post some links to online spelling games to help with this.

Wordwalls: These continue to be heard in class. New words may be underlined for your child to learn.

Maths: I absolutely loved reading all the bingo homework sheets. Some great new coin designs and fantastic foreign currency research too! This week a worksheet will be issued to consolidate our understanding of money.

In class we will begin to learn about time. If possible please discuss the idea of routine with your child – eg school starts at 9am, swimming lessons are at 4pm and will last for one hour. This will help children in class as we begin to look at o’clock, half past and the idea of both digital and analogue time.

‘Oor Grandparents’ project: Your child will receive a letter to take home about this final Katie Morag project before the end of term. The children should interview a grandparent (or equivalent) about what it was like when they were younger. They could ask about their favourite sweets, hobbies, school, etc. The children must create a small presentation about their chosen person. This can be in the form of a poster, labelled picture, story- whatever you like! The children must be able to talk about their person and be prepared to answer questions. All the information will be in your child’s letter.

News

It is going to be World Book Day tomorrow in Bishopton Primary! Your child may come as their favourite book character or wear pyjamas to school. If they choose not to wear either, they must come in school uniform. I can’t wait to hear about all your favourite books – I’m reading The Creakers just now and really enjoying it! We will also be having our read & munch with Primary 6G tomorrow. We can’t wait!

Enjoy the week ahead!

Good afternoon,

We had a great Health Week at Bishopton and the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Thank you so much to those who brought in lots of exotic fruits for Thursday, we absolutely loved trying new and different fruits. The children met firefighters, nurses, a podiatrist, a physiotherapist and worked hard with active schools- and that’s not even all we got up to! Here are a few snaps from our super healthy week:

We will finally have our World Book Day on Monday 12th March. Please dress as a book character or wear your pyjamas to enjoy a fun-filled day to celebrate books and literacy. If you don’t want to dress up or wear pyjamas, please wear your school uniform.

We are looking forward to hearing about all of the books you have read for your sponsored read. Please bring any money you have raised on Monday.

Thank you for your patience and we look forward to an exciting day on Monday!

Thank you very much for bringing in such varied exotic fruit today – there was a huge selection! We discussed the origins of the fruit and even took a guess at what might be inside – we were surprised by some colours and textures.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tasting session and it was great to see everyone pitching in to help cut, peel and spoon. I was very impressed with today’s teamwork and think you should feel very proud of yourselves.

Health Week has been fantastic so far and pupils are embracing every activity on offer. We’ve had a number of visitors and sporting sessions – I’ll share some snaps tomorrow. Until then – enjoy some well earned rest!

Miss Cauley

Good evening,

Just a reminder to send a piece of exotic fruit into school with you child tomorrow so that we can make exciting fruit cocktails. Please avoid sending in nuts and kiwis for allergen reasons. We are having a great Health Week and can’t wait to share pictures with you at the end of the week.

Thanks in advance,

Miss B

Hello everyone! I hope you have enjoyed your unexpected few days off and had a chance to spent some time with family and friends. I’m really looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow and hearing about your adventures! Please see below for this week’s class news and updates.

Spelling: There will be no new spelling words issued for homework this week. Instead, we will be revisiting ‘wh’ as well as revising Magic ‘e’ in all its forms. Children will be challenged to create either a silly sentence using their words from last week, or a labelled picture of something beginning with ‘wh’.

Reading Books: There will be no reading books issued this week, but please feel to read for pleasure at home. Children may borrow a book from our class library to take home – I will provide a sign in/out sheet for these books.

We will have read and munch with P6G on Thursday – your child is welcome to bring a healthy snack to enjoy as they read. We will also have in class ERIC time on Friday.

Maths: Money bingo continues. Well done for all the super creations so far!

Health Week: This week is health week and there are some super activities planned for our class to enjoy. Your child can wear gym gear everyday this week as we plan to do lots of exercise!

Our day for fruit kebabs is Thursday. If possible, please try to bring one exotic piece of fruit to taste as part of the task. I love fruit, so I will bring some too!

Have a great week ahead, and thank you for your continued support.
