Hello everyone, I hope you have had a lovely weekend. Please see below for homework and class news.

Homework:

Home work will be issued on Tuesday this week. It will consist of:

Spelling. Our sound this week is ‘y’ at the end as in holly and berry. You did a wonderful job today coming up with words and I look forward to seeing some more!

Maths: today in Maths we learned how to round to the nearest 10 by using our knowledge of skip counting. There will be a sheet to accompany this.

Reading: Reading books will be issued this week. If your child has not received a reading book today then they will receive one tomorrow. This is due to the completion of running records.

Other News:

It is December already! We have been practising our nativity songs and have also taken part in house art day. We are looking forward to our woodland community walk on Friday – thank you to those who have volunteered to help!

Thanks you for your continued support.

Apologies for the late update, but Glow had technical difficulties therefore we couldn’t update the Blogs.

Well done to everyone who took part in the Renfrewshire Sumdog Contest last week. We had our best ever results with P5S being the daily winner on Thursday 30th November (even better because you we off on holiday)! Click on the images below to see our results.

Several mornings a week we play ‘target’. This involves mentally calculating a mathematical story to reach a specific number. We can add, subtract or use a mixture of both – as long as we can prove it works! One of our target numbers this week was 25 and we explained how to reach this number using a variety of strategies including counting on and back, using our knowledge of tens and units, doubling and adding on and counting in 5s and 10s. Miss Cauley was very impressed!

Congratulations to the following pupils who managed to get in the top 50 students yesterday:

15th – Fraser B, P6G

17th – Isla R, P2R

22nd – Fraser P, P5S

42nd – Frazer O, P3S

Here are our Class results on the Leader Board:

Good afternoon!

Homework

As our working week is a little shorter there will be no new spelling words issued. Please feel free to play games to revise words and sounds – there is a link below to help you.

Reading books will not be issued also, due to the shorter week. I have encouraged the class to read lots of stories at home and to discuss the beginning, middle and ends.

However, I have sent home a maths worksheet for homework, to allow the children to practice greater than, less than and equal to symbols.

There is no school on Thursday 30th November as it is St Andrews day.

The children will be using lots of art materials including glue, paint and drawing materials.  It’s going to be a lot of fun but please don’t wear your best clothes as it can get a little messy!

The school fair will take place this Saturday (2nd December) in the school between 1pm and 3pm.

Primary 2B will be joining the other Primary 2 classes for a local community walk on Friday 8th December. This is to investigate our local environment and complete our Stickman topic.

Reading books will not be issued this week as children have been working to sequence the events in their current reading book. Please feel free to read for pleasure at home as we continue to discuss our likes, dislikes and puzzles in class at storytelling time.

Maths: We have been learning how to count in 10s, 5s and 2s – these skills help us to identify tens and units. They are also useful for discussing odd and even numbers. There is a short sheet to complete. You can also play Sumdog at home.
