Good afternoon everyone,
Please see below for our new sounds this week. We are learning “igh” and “y” and some pupils are also continuing to practise CVC words. Please support your child to read and write the words in their list. One of the activities the children have enjoyed the most in class is going on a word hunt, with their words written on small pieces of paper for them to find and read.
Thank you for your continued support.

Good morning,
Please find attached our new sounds and spelling for this week: ‘igh’ and ‘y’. Some of our children are practising cvc words for spelling but all are learning the new sounds for this week together.
Please support your child to practise reading and writing these words at home. Try to focus on sounding out each sound then blend the sounds together. If the children are confident reading and writing the words they may wish to write sentences with their words to challenge them further.
These have also been posted on Seesaw for you too.

Dear Parents and Carers,
Primary 2/1 have been working hard this week and are also very excited about the Christmas period (and a special daily visit from a mischievous Elf called Jingle).
Numeracy
Primary 2s are learning about Arrays and finding different ways to experiment with this using the Smartboard, counters, whiteboards and Numicons. Primary 1s have been introduced to more Mathematics and learning about Weight and the concepts of Lighter and Heavier. The children have enjoyed using classroom objects to experiment with this and deepen their learning.
Literacy
Primary 2s have been using different techniques to practise their spelling words. Primary 1s have been learning the sounds ‘w’ and ‘v’ and been trying out more cvc (consonant vowel consonant) words e.g. van and win etc.
Social Studies
In Topic Primary 2/1 are enjoying learning about Pirates and made a super effort in creating their own Treasure Maps after learning about the saying ‘X Marks The Spot’ and how this was made popular by Robert Louis Stevenson in his famous book Treasure Island from 1883. The children are keen to read this book when they are older. The children added great detail to their maps, such as, volcanoes, bridges, rivers, palm trees etc. The children then crushed their sheets to make it look ‘authentic’ and we discussed this fantastic word too!

Good afternoon,
I hope you have all had a lovely weekend. Please see below for this week’s Phonics sounds. We are learning “ou” and “ow” in class week. Please support your child to practise reading and writing these words at home. In class, we focus on sounding out to blend the sounds together. If the children are confident reading and writing the words, they may wish to write sentences with their words to challenge them further.

Good morning,
I hope you all had a lovely weekend.
Please find attached one of our new sounds for this week – ‘ee’ and ‘ea’.
If you could further practise these at home this would offer additional support to your child in their learning. You may wish to do this through games or practising writing and reading the words. Focus on sounding out and blending each word to improve their independence.
Thank you for your continued support,
Miss Walkingshaw
I was delighted to receive this message by email today from our P6 class. Our school are working on developing reading skills and we have purchased some puppets to help the younger pupils understand the skills we are learning about. Our pupils in P6 have come up with the great idea of creating videos to help introduce the younger pupils to the skills they are learning about and using in their reading. I’m looking forward to seeing how the videos turn out! Well done P6 for a great idea – another example of our young learners leading learning in ECPS 🙂
