Following on from the work we were doing in class on the Scots language. Please take a pop song, nursery rhyme or any song you want (as long as it is appropriate for school) and change into Scots. You are not allowed to do Taylor Swift ‘shake it off’ as we have already looked at this in class.
Due for next Thursday!
For example:
Ye pit your richt airm in,
Your richt airm oot,
In, oot
In, oot
Shak it aw aboot.
Ye dae the Shooglie-Wooglie
And ye birl around.
That’s whit it’s aw aboot – BREEKS!
Maths
Please continue with your learnits at home.
This term we are focusing on the 4 x table, if you could practise this new table as well as the 3x table that would be much appreciated. Remember that the children should know the answers as fast as the learn-its.
If there are any children who need their learnits updated please let me know.

Sumdog Challenge: this week is a P2 Fractions Challenge. I’ve limited the target to just 30 questions. I will go over this task in class as the questions may prove challenging! Still, with our ‘have a go’ attitude, we can encourage the children to participate and hopefully learn lots more about the concept of fractions.

For the last two weeks we have been focusing on reading skills in class, specifically inference.This weeks homework is a reading comprehension sheet. You can complete the homework on the sheet.
In a previous post I said to complete the work for the next Thursday. However, to give me time to mark I have decided Wednesday is better.
People who did not do this weeks homework please also do this for next week.
Homework due-27.01.16
Thanks and well done to Kirsty, Tobey and Rebecca who all decided to bake in order to help them remember their spelling words last week.
