Happy Monday Room 13!

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend and are looking forward to the week ahead.  Please remember we now have tennis outside, at the tennis courts, so please bring along warm outdoor clothing for Monday afternoons!

Letters will also be going out this week to find out who can help us with some home baking for our enterprise project… 3 weeks to go!

Finally two big WELL DONE’S to share with you all!  Firstly a big well done to Stephen (Room 13) and all the Burnside Sportshall Athletics Athletes who competed on Friday and brought home the gold for Burnside Primary School, what an amazing achievement! Second, a huge well done to my amazing pupils who spoke during the Scots assembly on Friday (Stella, Ruby, Campbell, Zoe, Aicha, Hollie and Leah), you all performed with such confidence… WELL DONE!

Homework for this week will be spelling tasks, reading and topic.

Write each of your spelling words out three times.

Can you also choose 5 words and create a complex sentence for each.  This means more than a 3 or 4 word sentence.  Try and include one connective in each sentence such as ‘and’ ‘because’ or ‘however’.

Please read Chapter 18 at home.  I am hoping you could find the time to read this to someone at home (parent, carer, sibling etc…) to let them hear your confidence and fluency when reading a text.  If you have time to do this, please have them write a short comment in your homework jotter to let me know their thoughts on how well your reading is coming along!

Finally, we are now working towards our ‘Presidential Presentations’ which will be delivered in February.  This week I would like you to research 5 interesting facts about your chosen president and write them into your homework jotter.  Please try to avoid simple facts such as ‘name, age, birthday, place of birth’ etc… as you will have time to research this in ICT on Tuesday.  The more interesting the facts… the more interested your audience will be during these presentations!

We were so close to 100% homework record last week… let’s make that our goal for Friday!

Ready to have an amazing week with you all!

Happy Monday Room 13!

Thank you to everyone who submitted their homework last week.  Some of the answers for the reading homework were fantastic! So keep up the great work!

This week you have spelling, reading and maths homework to complete and hand in by Friday.

Spelling – write out each of your spelling words three times and choose five words to complete rainbow or pyramid writing.

Reading – please read Chapter 15 of Street Child.

Maths – The link to the maths homework can be found at the top AND bottom of this blog post.  All groups homework is listed on the one document.  Please only complete the questions for your group.  Remember working is just as important as the final answer (square and circles!)… Triangles and rectangles you should be able to complete your questions mentally, however please make sure you copy out each question into your jotter.  Copies of the homework sheet can also be collected in class.

Room 13 will be running an enterprise project on Friday 7th February.  This is to help raise money for our school trip to the Emirates Arena.

We will be hosting an American themed diner and we need your help!!

Pupils from Room 13… take a look at all the ideas that we came up with today and speak to the people you know to see if they would be able to help make and donate some home baking for our project.  The more American themed the better!

I do not ask that a huge amount of money is spent doing this.  We will be making some of our own things to sell in class.  However any help that can be provided is greatly appreciated as we don’t have a lot of time!!

I will send out a letter on Monday asking you to confirm if you are able to help.  But hopefully, pupils of room 13, you can come back to me on Monday morning with some great ideas!

Have an amazing weekend… you’ve worked very hard so deserve a couple days off!

See you on Monday 🙂

Happy Monday Room 13!

Time to get back into the routine of weekly homework.   This week we will start with Spelling and Reading homework.

Spelling words should have been copied into your homework jotter (Monday in class).  Please write out each word three times.

Choose 5 words and write out their dictionary definitions too.

Please read Chapter 12 of Street Child and answer the following questions in your homework jotter.

1. Page 96, find a quote which describes the fire in the cottage where Jim used to live. How does the quote help us visualise what the fire looked like?
2. Page 97 why did Jim and Rosie make such a good team?
3. Using information from p99, in your own words, describe what you think the school teacher looks like? Think about what Jim could see and could hear.
4. Using the information from p105, in your own words, describe the two different places Shrimps would sleep at night.
5. In your own opinion, who do you think Grimy Nick is? What do you think he is going to do with Jim?

Please remember to add a title and date in your homework jotter before completing any of these tasks!!

Anyone still to return a note of interest form for our school trip, please remember this MUST be returned no later than Wednesday.

Was wonderful to hear all about your Christmas holidays and was lovely to have you all back in class.  Looking forward to another great week!

Happy New Year Room 13! 🌟

I hope that we are all in agreement that the Christmas holidays have passed far too quickly! I hope you’ve all had an amazing two weeks off and I can’t wait to hear all about it tomorrow.

Just a quick reminder that our PE days for this term will be Monday and Thursday, so please remember to bring full PE kits with you tomorrow!

Lots and lots of exciting things happening this term and hopefully we can kick 2020 off with a great start!

Will see you all bright and early tomorrow!
