P2 Homework W/B 5.2.18
Hi all,
Homework this week:
Reading as normal– check book bags for updates. Thanks so much to all children who learned part of or all of their Scottish poem. I really was very impressed!
Spelling – List 23
Numeracy/maths – No new Sumdog challenge but in class, we will be working on numbers to 100 this week – writing, ordering, sequencing and breaking numbers down into tens and units.
However! There is a problem solving task coming home, based on the Six Nations Rugby Tournament. Children will probably need help with this.
In the next few weeks, along with a topic on electricity, we’ll also be taking inspiration from the Winter Olympics to base some of our maths and numeracy on.
PE – Wednesday and Thursday
Thanks,
Miss Brunt
P6 Homework 2/2/18
All pupils have reading homework for next week.
All pupils have Numeracy homework for Friday 9/2/18 – Winter Olympics Code Breaker.
P5 Homework w/b 29.01.18
Firstly I would like to congratulate P5 for the effort that has gone in to their Literacy Circles homework. We have now come to the end of our 6 week block and the general feeling from the class is that they have really enjoyed learning the LC roles and reading their choice of novel.
Our next project is a Pupil Talk which will be prepared during school and home time. The choice of topic is completely up to the individual and should be no longer than 5 minutes with questions and answers at the end. Pupils agreed upon the most appropriate dates to fit their schedules and skills will be taught over the next 2 weeks. I am very keen for this to be an enjoyable experience and should not take too much time to prepare. There will be no reading homework until after the Easter break, instead non-fiction reading will take place in class.
Spelling activities will continue weekly, with the red activity being optional.
There is a maths follow-up sheet that corresponds to learning in class but if pupils feel this is too much to fit into their week then this terms times table (8 x) can be practised instead.
We look forward to continuing with our Victorian project and having Mrs Hollins join our class until 2.3.18.
As always, thank you for your support,
Mrs Watts & Mrs Roy

Primary 3 Homework from 30th January
Primary 3 Homework – Week from 30th January
We’re really looking forward to Friday’s assembly and showing all our learning about Scotland. It’ll be great to see you there if you are able to make it (11:45am).
In RME with Mrs Wallace the children are going to be learning about weddings. If you have any photos from family weddings it would be fun for the children to see some in class. Please don’t send anything too precious though! A copy or even a drawing of the photo would be absolutely fine.
Best wishes,
Mr Buchan
Numeracy
In numeracy this week we will have a final ‘exit pass’ to check understanding of the columns method for addition. I have been very pleased with how well this has been picked up.
After addition we are now moving on to subtraction. To start with we will go back to empty number lines to ensure solid understanding of this process. Then (next week) we will look at the written method for subtraction in columns, which people often find slightly trickier than the method for addition.
To get our brains fired up for all this, I have set a new Sum Dog challenge which is focussed on subtraction.
Please let me know if you need a reminder of login details or if you have been having any compatibility issues.
Reading
Pages from class books to be read at home will be written down in the grids as usual.
Writing
To help develop our VCOP, the children are each going to start a writing Swag Bag. This is somewhere they can write down great words or phrases that they come across, storing them up for whenever we are writing and they need some inspiration.
To get a few things in the bag, please could everyone try to find four ‘wow words’ this week? A wow word can be something we just like, or maybe a new word that we did not know before. They could come from reading online, story books or a newspaper. They could even come from something we hear.
If these four words are written into homework jotters they can then be copied across in class.
Spelling
A few common words have been cropping up as common mistakes. Please could we practise these (look – say – cover – write – check) and then use them in sentences.
every everyone
come some
someone never
