P1 homework – 03/12/18

Good evening all,

Homework for this week:

Reading: We have not sent home reading books this evening as we are making changes to the current reading groups .

Reading books will be coming home from Tuesday onwards. On Thursday we will also send home either a reading comprehension worksheet or a key word worksheet.

Please see the blue reading record book and continue to help your child learn the words in their word box. Learning these words is an essential part of the reading process and your child can not move on to the next stage of  reading books until they have learnt their words from the current stage.

Phonics: We will be learning 3 new sounds this week, please help your child to complete the worksheet in their red book following our lesson on the sound.

Monday: ‘z’

Tuesday: ‘w’

Wednesday: ‘ng’

We have sent home the meal options for the school Christmas dinner – please fill in your child’s selection and return this to us as soon as possible so we can notify our dining staff, thank you.

P6 Homework W/B 3rd December 2018

Hi all,

This week:

Spelling – as normal; homework to be completed for next Monday.

Reading – Children are working very well with their reading journal. Children should complete Task 4 this week. Well done to those who completed Task 3 ; some real effort was shown with book cover designs, posters and even a board game!

PE – Can children have their kit in all week please as the halls timetables are temporarily suspended due to both schools requiring show practices. We may go outside or use the MUGA if we cannot get a hall slot.

Indoor shoes – can you ask your child if he/she has their indoor shoes at school. If not, can they please bring a pair ASAP as the floors and carpets are getting very muddy!

Community Police Officer – PC Ian Black visited P6 last week to chat about staying safe online. This generated lots of questions and valuable discussion. It turns out that some children do not have their online presence set to private so this is worth checking with them.

PANTO – is on Wednesday 5th December. Please ensure permission slips are returned and payment is made before then. Remember, there is a late return to school, probably four-ish. Please state on the permission slip how your child is getting home.

Thanks for your support,

Miss S Brunt

Christmas hamper and fair

Hello parents and carers,

It is coming up to that festive time of year again and the school is slowly being transformed into a winter wonderland for the Christmas Fair.

Just a reminder that the lower atrium, P1-4, are collecting items for their Christmas Eve/The Night before Christmas hamper for the Christmas Fair. Any donations are gratefully received.

We are also looking for anyone who would be able to give us a helping hand with the Christmas Fair toy stall on Friday from 12:30pm – 2pm. Please do let us know if you would be interested in helping out!

Thank you,

Miss Kristel Maley and Mrs Lisa Cumming

P1 homework for week starting 26/11

Homework for this week:

Reading: Please see the blue reading record book and continue to help your child learn the words in their word box and use the letters to practice creating 3 letter words.

Phonics: We are not learning any new sounds this week but we are recapping the ones we have learned so far. To help with this we will be sending home worksheets which either focus on the phonics sounds or are related to your child’s reading book. Please help your child to complete these.

Newspapers – As part of the run up to Christmas each class has been asked to create a crafty christmas tree. We are considering making a 3D tree from recycled newspaper. If you have any newspapers which you could donate to this we would really appreciate it if you could send them in.

We would just like to say a huge thank you for helping your child to prepare for this years nativity. We are delighted to see that the children with speaking parts have been learning their lines at home and that the whole class are trying their best to learn the songs and their roles within the play.

 

 

P2 Homework w.b. 26.11.18

Hi all,

We had such a blast at Deep Sea World last week! I can’t believe we even got to meet a starfish, bearded dragon and a snake!! I will upload photos of our day when I find some time in between Nativity practice!

Children who have a speaking part in the Nativity have been given laminated lines to take home to learn and a few have been given a letter regarding some clothing that they need to complete their outfit.

Just a few dates for your diary: 

Friday 30th November – Christmas Fair from 12:30pm (The Lower Atrium is creating a Christmas Eve Hamper so donations towards this would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, P1 and P2 are collecting used toys in a good condition for the ‘Nearly New Toys’ stall). Donations can be handed in to P1, P2 or the school office.

Monday 10th December – P1/2 Nativity @ 2pm 

Wednesday 12th December – Christmas Jumper Day, Campus Christmas Lunch and P2 Carol Singing. (P2 are going to the local care home in the afternoon to do some carol singing for the residents, there will be a letter in their bag explaining more on this).

Homework for this week:

Reading: Please check your child’s green reading record for the pages they should be reading on that date. Some groups will also have small lists of key words to learn alongside their books.

Spelling: This week we are learning the ‘ck’ sound (for example, duck and rocket). The children will have a list of words containing this sound and tricky words to practise.

Numeracy: Apologies for the late distribution of the numeracy homework last week, had a few photocopying issues. This week it will be out on Tuesday for the children to complete for Friday.

Hope you all have a lovely week and I will see you on Friday at the fair,

Miss Lauren Waller
