Hello,

🔬 No science with Mrs Cumming as she is teaching Primary 3 this week.

🏃🏼‍♂️ P.E is on Wednesday afternoon, please ensure your child comes dressed appropriately for this as we are not allowed to do it inside.

🗣 Pupils will be presenting their pupil talks this week, the talk timetable was discussed on Monday in class, and posted on Google Classroom for everyone to refer to. **Please note that due to the current climate, children should not bring any items from home in for this. Instead pictures can be emailed to me and I can share these on the smart board with the class. 

💻 On Thursday afternoon we will have an online workshop with an ex-miner! This will be very exciting as we have been learning about what it was like to work in the mines during the Victorian era.

Check out our charcoal pictures of us as chimney sweeps! We have put them on display in the school hallway for everyone to see.

Homework 📝

Reading 📚- Pages to be read will be written in your child’s reading record daily.

Spelling✏️ – The new spelling list will be copied down on Monday morning.

We will go back to having a maths/numeracy task to complete on Google Classroom after the holidays.

*Remember school closes this Friday (16th October) for the October holidays and pupils will return at 8:50am on Tuesday 27th October.* 

Thank you all for your support so far this term and I wish you all a restful holiday when it comes,

Homework

This week for homework there will be a maths task, spellings practice and revision of the latest fractions worksheet for Mrs Caldwell.

Mrs Caldwell will set a short test on Friday 16th for pupils to showcase their fractions knowledge.

Please see the attachments below for your tasks and video clips to help your understanding.

NOTE: I will be providing paper copies for pupils who are still having issues with accessing Google Classroom.

Maths
For homework this week, our activity is on Decimals.
This will be related to work we have been working on in class.
Learning Intention: We are learning to revise decimals.
– Rounding to the nearest whole number.
– Rounding to 1 decimal place.
– Adding and subtracting decimal numbers.

Fractions Friday
The work to be revised and learnt is on a worksheet that has been given to each pupil already.

Where do I write my answers?
Complete these questions by editing the google document, or do them on an A4 page, then post a picture of your completed work.

Thanks,
Mr Nelson

With just over a week to go until the October break I cannot believe how fast time has flown. 🍂

Reading groups are heard almost daily but groups timings are limited to just 10-15 minutes in school with close teacher contact so it is essential that pupils keep reading their books daily in school.

Reading journals are updated on Mondays and that will be the only day that I collect them all in. 📒

I have handed out the Stage 1 words (pink) and stage 2 words (yellow) today because I realise that adding the words each time we get a new book is perhaps not the best idea in the current climate.  These words should be learned at sight and should  be learned in order to progress through the ORT scheme.  These are for home use so do not need to be brought in. 🟥 🟨

On Friday I will hand out the sounds that we will have covered by the October holiday.  In class each day we go through the sounds and are not word building using these.  e.g. asking the children to lay out the sound cards to make a certain word and then sound it out.  This activity is extremely useful for confidence building and would ideally be completed alongside reading at home. 🟩

Can I also take this opportunity to ask that the Phonics booklet that pupils were handed out in week 2 is completed and up to date.

I will begin target setting with pupils next week and their target sheets will come home once they have had their chat with me.

As always, thanks for your support

Mrs Hinton

P.E is on Wednesday and we have a ZOOM assembly on Friday!
