This week we have been doing some dictionary and thesaurus work in language along with the start of some note-taking activities. This is in preparation for us starting some non-fiction work based on The Scottish Wars of Independence.
We have looked at our Topic and the children have had a chance to talk about what they know and what they would like to find out. We are really looking forward to starting this topic next week!
To start the Topic we will be looking at timelines and children have been sent home with a little bit of homework this weekend to discuss the ‘Timeline of their life’. We would be grateful if you could talk to your children (and make some notes if you like) about the main things that have happened in their lives so they can place them on a timeline. This is to help them understand the concept of a timeline as things that have happened in the past.
The children have all now got a Scottish poem to learn to present to the class. The children are all really excited about this and we would be grateful if you could keep practising these at home.
Things to remember for next week-
Monday- Spelling and Reading homework
Tues/Wed- Maths homework
Thurs- Indoor gym kit
Fri- no outdoor gym due to Burn’s Assembly
Thank you for your continued support
Mrs Steel and Mr Grieg
