Welcome Back P5!

Happy New Year to you all!  It was great to see everyone back this week all relaxed and ready for another busy term.

And we wasted no time…

This week in Maths we have started a new focus on sequences which is part of developing our algebraic thinking skills. Our homework in Maths for the next few weeks will be focusing on written calculations using the four maths processes.

Our new topic for the next five weeks will be learning about Wallace and Bruce and The Wars Of Independence. This week we learned who William Wallace was and created fact files for our class wall display. Thank you to Ciara for providing some very colourful printed photographs which we will use in our display.

At the beginning of the term we always revise our Class Charter and we discuss our school values and visions. The children are all becoming very knowledgeable on these and can see them in action in our class and school. We have began work on our new class display for this and our theme is jigsaw pieces.

Talking of themes, we have also changed the theme of our goals wall display. This term we are using a rainbow to help us record our aims, these will look really colourful as the term progresses and we begin to achieve our goals.

Your child will have a letter home describing how to access the Letterjoin Handwriting programme that we use in school.  This is a new feature so would appreciate any feedback if you log in from home to use it.  This will hopefully help anyone who needs extra practise to improve in this area of their work but at the moment there is no set work required.

Have a lovely weekend.
