P2 Homework W/B 21.11.16
Homework this week:
Spelling – List 12 ‘ck’
Reading – continues as normal – keep checking book bags for updates.
No numeracy task
Show and Tell – Week 2 rota
School Fair Donations– P2 are helping to organise the 2nd hand toy stall so any decent (good condition) toys that are no longer wanted, will be gratefully received- thanks!
Nativity – the parts in the play have been decided so Mrs Cumming and I will send everyone a little note home this week, stating your child’s part and whether or not they need any costume from home. Fortunately, we are very well resourced for this in school and we won’t need many children to bring in items from home. If your child has a speaking part, he/she will get lines home at the start of this week. Please help your child learn their lines – many thanks!
Thanks for your support,
Miss Brunt

Book Week Scotland 21st-26th Novemeber
Book Week Scotland 21st-26th November
P3 will be celebrating Book Week Scotland next week. Due to other exciting reading activities we will not be following our normal reading schedule. I will not be sending reading home. Instead, I would like children to read for enjoyment or share books together as a family. Children should aim to read for 20 minutes each night. See below for further information.
- I would like children to bring a book in next week to read for enjoyment (if you don’t have a new one or you forget then there are plenty in school to borrow). In addition to this, I would like them to bring in their favourite book. If they could keep it in school for the week that would be great.
- In class we will be using the ipads to create ‘book trailers’ in groups (like film trailers), writing book reviews on our favourite books, creating book marks for the library visit and recommending books to each other.
- Children will be asked if they want to do a really short informal book talk. It will be a little like show and tell but for book recommendations. They should introduce their book, say why they like it, why they would recommend it to other children and read a very small excerpt from it. I will speak to children about this next week and then send a little slip home so they can prepare.
- On Friday 26th we will end the week with an exciting visit to Loanhead Library.
Any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Orange – Planes- See bookmark
Yellow- Meeting Cezanne by Michael Morpugo- P34-44 and a short summary.
Blue – The Giraffe, the Pelly and Me by Roald Dahl.- 32-42 and a short summary.
Green – The Lie Detector- see bookmark
*NEW* Numeracy- This week I have set a competition on Sumdog if the children have time to go on and have a go. I have sent their passwords home with them in their learnits envelope. I have also sent them home with an envelope with their learnits in them. These are for you to work through at home until the envelope is empty, when you can get more.
The Rules
The children are asked the question on the learnits card on several occasions and if they answer correctly, within about two seconds, they can have a tick. Once they have ten ticks they can throw the learnit away. Once the envelope is empty they can have some new learnits. You can keep the envelope at home until it needs refilled.
Don’t feel you have to do all of them at once. A few at a time is sufficient.
P1 Homework week beginning 14/11/16
Sounds: This week we are working on reinforcing the more difficult sounds learnt over the last two weeks – ai, oa, ee, or and ie.
Homework will consist of a mixture of work related to the sounds and word building work. Please continue to practice the words that have been coming with their reading books.
Maths
We will be moving on to the months of the year and how they fit in with the seasons.
Events:
Author visit: P1 – P4 will have a visit from an author, McNicol and Jackson of ‘Badger the Mystical Mutt’ stories, on Tuesday 15th November.
Friday is Children in Need day, the children can wear something spotty if they would like to.
We are holding a school Christmas Fair and as part of this P1 and P2 are responsible for the second hand toy stall. Please remember to send in any good quality, clean toys for us to sell..
Finally the Nativity is well under way – you may have been hearing the songs at home! The children all know the part they are playing, we have consulted with the children and held simple auditions to help us decide which parts they should have.
