I hope you all had a lovely long weekend and money week is keeping you busy.  Any work you’d like to share this week can be done through the school blog, twitter pages or by e-mailing the school.

For literacy lessons Wednesday – Friday this week, we will be learning about maths through stories.

Today – Reading Supermarket Zoo and creating lists

Tomorrow – Reading Max and Ruby, Bunny Money and writing a personal story

Friday – Reading Cat in the Hat and writing money facts

Every day – The Daily Draw

Today, listen to Supermarket Zoo by Caryl Hart and Ed Eaves.

Answer the following questions by telling someone your answers or by writing them down in your jotter/on paper/use the template.

  1. How many monkeys, giraffes and parrots does mum and Albie buy at the supermarket?  Add up the total.
  2. If you were Albie, what would you have bought at the supermarket? Why?  (use ‘because’ to explain).
  3. If I were Albie’s mum and I used headings on my shopping list, I’d have monkeys, giraffes, lizards, tortoises, lions and parrots under the ANIMALS heading; and I’d have hay, lion food, vegetables, fruits and nuts under the FOOD heading.
  4. Write a shopping list of things you would like from the shops. Can you write the price for each items (real or made up) and add up your total?

*   Challenge: Can you use headings and sub-headings to group items on your list?  You might         want to use TOYS, FOOD, DRINK, SCHOOL STUFF as headings for your items.

P1 Transition Update -What do you need when you start school?

When your child starts school they will need items to support their learning and when participating in indoor and outdoor PE lessons. Below is a list of items your child will need for starting school.

All clothing and equipment should be clearly labelled with your child’s name. Please make sure that your child’s name is on all parts of their school uniform – even their shoes. It is easier for us to locate lost property if it is named.

  • A warm, waterproof jacket
  • An indoor PE kit – shorts, a t-shirt and a pair of indoor gym shoes
  • An outdoor PE kit – leggings or jogging trousers, a t-shirt, a fleece or zipped top, outdoor trainers
  • A school bag
  • A pencil case
  • A small manageable snack for playtime
  • A water bottle
  • A packed lunch if they are not having school dinners.

As always if you have any questions about your child’s transition please contact the school by e-mail.
