Our common words this week are:

what, all, were and we.

Wordwalls are being worked through this week. Could you please leave them blank so that I can keep track of my ticks if new ones are issued. Thanks.

P2 were issued with a castle project for homework this week. The details are as follows, this is also in children’s bookbags:

Home Castle Challenge

In class we are learning all about Scottish Castles in the past. We would like you to create a Castle at home. It should have a moving part, e.g. a drawbridge or a flag pole. You can use any material you wish. We would like to see the following features in your castle:

• Moat
• Drawbridge
• Battlements
• Portcullis
• Arrow Slits
• Towers.

Your castle should be brought into class to show on Tuesday 4^th December. We look forward to seeing what you have created. Have fun!

Miss Grant

Good morning,

I hope you’re all very well and have had a lovely weekend. We have been learning all about nouns in class and on Friday we will be creating our very own noun collages. These will help us to spot the difference between different types of nouns as well as to remind us what a noun is.

If you have any newspapers, comics or magazines in the house that you are finished with, could you please send them in to school with your child by Friday?

Thank you so much for your support with this,

Miss Cauley

Hello everyone,

Please note that from now on each week, children will receive their reading books on a Monday and should be returned on a Friday.

This week the children have also been introduced to a Castle home learning task, which is to be handed into class on the week beginning 3rd December. All of the details are inside your child’s homework diary.

Many thanks,

Mrs Kane and P2K.

Hi there

If you wanted your child to have a photograph with a sibling in the school, these will be taken tomorrow so that you know if they have to wear a shirt or not.

Miss Grant

Your child has their Christmas card order form in their bag. If you wish to order any cards etc, please complete and return with the correct money in the envelope provided by Monday 29th October.

Please check the spelling of your child’s name as the original form was scanned by a computer so there may be errors.

Thank you in advance,

Miss McDowall
