Hi All,
Quick message to let you know p3 will be recording our Christmas song tomorrow. If your child wishes to wear their Christmas jumper or hat tomorrow they are welcome to. It is however completely optional. There are lots of Santa hats in school that can also be used so no one will miss out.
Thanks,

P6 Week Beginning 6.12.21
The temperature has certainly dropped and we are feeling it in class as we have to keep our windows open for ventilation. Please remember that children can bring in extra jumpers/hoodies to wear and keep in the class to keep them warm.
We have P.E. on Monday and Wednesday.
Miss Sun will take Mandarin on Wednesday.
On Tuesday afternoon, we are watching the Dunedin Consort, 2pm – 2:45pm.
Homework will be handed out on Monday and should be handed in on Friday. This week, there will be spelling and reading. This week, there will be no extra task. Please ensure your child completes their reading homework daily. This is the last week of homework for this term.
The Christmas post box returns on Monday. Please ensure your child writes the child’s name and class on the envelope before posting, so it can be delivered to the correct person.
On Thursday, we will be recording our Christmas song, Last Christmas. For this the children can bring in a Christmas jumper to change into, Christmas headbands and hats too. Along with scarves and gloves, if they have any! Please ensure your child wears school uniform on Thursday and they bring their Christmas jumper (if they have one) in their bag to change into for the short period we will be filming. Thank you.

p3 homework 03.12.21
Hi everyone,
Reminders
Letters
Can everyone ensure Xmas lunch letters and photo and recording approval letters are signed and handed in ASAP. Recording for xmas songs will happen this week and if we don’t have the form unfortunately your child won’t be able to take part. Lunch letters were due in today (6th Dec) and similarly if you do not provide written permissions we can’t serve xmas lunch and your child will be expected to bring packed lunch. Unfortunately this is the case due to the new Natasha’s law. So please hand them in so we can all celebrate together!
Lunch hall
This week p3 will be returning to the lunch hall. I know some children are quite anxious about this. At present, the only other classes using the hall are p1, p2 and a small amount of children from the other classes who opt for hot meals so crowds and noise are reduced. This should make the transition a little easier.
Homework
Spelling
Spelling words have been glued into the children’s jotters. Please remember to practise the words AND write the sentences unless this has been discussed with me previously.
Numeracy/Maths
I have stuck a numeracy/maths grid the the back of your child’s homework jotter. The expectation is that only one brick (activity) be completed per week. Can you colour the brick after your child has completed the activity AND is confident in doing so independently.
A Sumdog challenge on 2D Shape has also been set for each pupil at their level and will be available until next Friday.
