As discussed before the holidays pupils will have a Solo Talk to complete this term. Each pupil has a leaflet outlining the set criteria in their bag today (Monday 6th). Talks should be ready to be presented week beginning the 20th January.

This weeks homework tasks are listed below.

Term 2

In Term 2 pupils will be asked to do a short solo talk in class and I would like to give them plenty 0f time to prepare for this.  If they could start to think of an animal that lives in or around the River Clyde or estuary to base their talk on that would be great. Examples are: trout, otter, herons. There are quite a few to choose from. More details will follow shortly as to what to expect and the set criteria.

There will be no formal homework this week due to it being a short week.

Pupils have been given home song words for one of our Christmas show songs and would be pleased if they could learn these for next week. So far it sounds lovely.

A few reminders that Scottish hamper items should be in school for Friday at the latest. Many thanks for the items already received.

Any unwanted toys or books can be sent in on Thursday or Friday for the toy stall at the Christmas Fayre on Saturday.

PE days have changed this term and are now on a Monday and Tuesday. Please ensure your child has their kit on those days. It is helpful if they keep their kit  in school in case of any additional PE sessions.

IDL: Glasgow Homework

Over the next few weeks in class the pupils will be working in teams to create a bridge which will stand up to the pressure of holding 5 books from the class library and be able to drive a toy car across it. This activity links our topic to our  STEM technology tasks. At home pupils should try to come up with design ideas/ discuss ideas for the structure and locate possible materials it can be constructed from. If possible, items for building can be brought into school this week and we will ensure these are returned home when the task is complete.  We have been looking at different bridges in Glasgow but it would be helpful when out and about to try and draw attention to the different types of bridges in and around Glasgow and discuss what they are made from and how they are used.

Welcome back! We hope you all had a lovely time during the October holiday!
