Hi all,
Homework this week-
Spelling– List 31 ‘er’
Reading – ongoing. Please check post-it notes in books and please ensure that you hear your child read aloud. Thanks.
Topic – Seashore– if anyone has anything to bring in to show, regarding the seashore, please it bring in!
That is all for this week,
Thank you,
Miss Brunt
We had a lovely trip to the beach – what a nice way to start our first week back.
Reading: All children will have new reading books this week, please see the red card as usual and continue to help them learn their words in their word tins.
Numeracy: Last week we were learning about ordinal numbers (first, second, third…1st, 2nd, 3rd etc) they will have some homework connected with this.
Literacy: We are finishing the consonant blends this week so will be learning ‘sp, st and sw’.
Please see the green book for this week’s common words…again these can be learned however suits your child, it does not need to be completed in the jotter.
Show and Tell: This term we will be doing a more formal Show and Tell. Each child will be told when they are to do Show and Tell, what it is to be about and what is expected. As this is about early presentation skills I will be talking to them about: Speaking clearly, a minimum of three sentences, looking at the audience and being able to properly show the subject of their Show and Tell. I will be sending a rota home with the dates each child will do theirs and the subject. Please help your child to learn how to present their Show and Tell.
PE is on a Tuesday Morning and Monday afternoons this term.
Please make sure your child has their indoor shoes at school, their PE kit, and as the weather is getting warmer, a water bottle.
From Monday 30th April Miss Cummings will be taking responsibility of the class until the end of May.

Primary 3 Homework – 18th to 24th April
It was great to have P3 back yesterday, all ready for the new term!
We started our new topic looking at houses and homes. As part of this, would anyone be free to help on Wednesday or Thursday next week? We want to walk round Loanhead, spotting some of the things we’ve been learning about. Please let me know if you or another relative / carer could come with us. It would be from 2pm to 3pm (so just before normal pick up time) on either on Wednesday 25th or Thursday 26th.
This term I will teach P3 on Mondays as well as the rest of the week. Mrs Wallace will be with other classes. Homework will continue to run Tuesday to Tuesday. Our regular P.E. days will be Tuesday and Wednesday, with music on a Monday.
Best wishes,
Mr Buchan
Numeracy
After the Easter break our maths brains will need a bit of warming up. Number bonds tennis (to 10) is important practice, as are Learnits and the +/- games.
I have also put up a SumDog challenge covering lots of different skills and areas.
Reading
Reading grids will come home today. Please look out also for comprehension quizzes to be finished.
Topic
We have been learning about all the different kinds of buildings that people live in. In particular, we have focussed on flats, cottages, detached houses, semi-detached, terraced houses and bungalows.
For homework, can you describe your own home using words and pictures?
Spelling – Please could we practice the following words and then use them in some sentences:
ladder bungalow
painting cottage
turned terraced
detached each
As part of assembly this week the House Captains have decided that they want to celebrate Extra Curricular achievements of pupils in their houses.
Have you won something? Done something that you proud of? Moved up a level? Joined a new club? Learned to play an instrument?
Pupils have shared their news with house captains but will be recognized in assembly on Friday. If parents have any news or photos of pupils in action or with any awards then we would love to include these in our PowerPoint. Please send to The House Captains via Mrs Hinton k.hinton@mgfl.net (before Friday 10am please)
Thanks
Welcome back – I hope you all had a lovely spring break.
This week I will not be giving out reading books as it is such a short week with our outdoor learning on Wednesday. Instead I will be sending home a list of phonic words that children should initially sound out if they are stuck with them and then be able to read them instantly without sounding out. These are short words that can be easily sounded out. Please cut up the list to help them learn them – you can do a few each night, you do not need to do them all every night.
Wednesday 18th April: We are having another outdoor learning session, this time to the beach. If you have not returned the permission form please do so. REMINDER: Children will need wellies, comfortable clothing, waterproof jacket and trousers if possible, sun cream, sunhat, packed lunch (if not ordered from school), change of clothes, water and a snack.
Our topics this term will be ‘Our Senses’ and ‘People who Help Us’
It will be a busy term….I can’t believe we are in the final term already!
