P4 Information

Welcome back everyone! I hope that you had a nice holiday and are settling back into the school routine easily.

I thought I would provide you with some current information about timetable and topic organisation, homework and swimming.

Timetable Information

Music- The children have music on a Monday morning with Mrs Callaghan and will come into school from the lines first.

P.E.- Our pre-planned P.E. days are Wednesday (with me) and Thursday with Mrs Duncan. I think everyone now has a P.E. kit in school but if not can I remind you to provide one for those days.

Class Novel- By popular demand I am reading Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone to the class after breaks.

Topic- For the next week we are learning about Pirates and Mapping. Linked to survival on a desert island a member of the Outdoor Learning Team is coming on Monday 4th September to assist us in the building of Outdoor Shelters.

Swimming

Due to the fact that the building of the new leisure center is not yet complete swimming will begin on the 12th of September. Children will need a packed lunch that day- a letter with follow.

The children should bring a swimming  costume/trunks a towel and goggles. There is no need to pay for a locker and we won’t be using hairdryers or vending machines.

Homework

Homework in P4 will be distributed on a Tuesday and should be returned on  a Monday.

There will always be reading and spelling and initially (starting from next week) the children will be asked to revise their learn its. More numeracy homework may be handed out as and when additional numeracy support is needed.

Tomorrow (Tuesday 29th) I will give everyone a printed copy of the spelling chart and children will be expected to write what is required in their jotters.

There will be a copy on the Website, posted by 4pm on Tuesday.

Any worksheets that are required will be given and any further copies will either be available from the website (if possible) or from me.

 

 

Welcome to P7 – Some quick information

Welcome back Primary 7!

You all looked so smart in your red hoodies today, what a fabulous start to, what I am sure will be, an amazing year for you all.

As discussed, there is no homework this week other than house captain speeches which we will begin to write in class at the end of this week. These will be due in at the end of next week.

When you enter our classroom you will intermediately notice that it is like no other because it was designed, after a lot of research, by P7 last year.  It promotes high level learning, rich collaboration, student centered and active learning. This fortnight we are trying out different learning areas to suit learning styles and hopefully you will learn more and more about how your learning environment can help or hinder learning. Today we worked outside, on the floor, in groups, in ICT and in the noisy hall today and you were all able to reflect on these environments really well.  The respect that you showed to some of the “funky furniture” was great – well done! We will begin to explore all the flexible seating options every day, please trust and bear with me because I know you will not only love your new space, but overtime you will also understand why it is how it is and be able to change things and make adaptations.

I put together a Welcome back newsletter HERE in a PDF for you to have a look at and once I have edited your DAY 1 PHOTOS i will put them below 🙂

Homework

Sorry for the homework delay! The homework grid and spelling words have been slotted into homework jotters. It would be great if these could be stuck in at home.

Events

  •  Friday 16th June. Wear your PJ’s and bring a donation for our Dystonia charity.
  • We will be sharing our learning with the rest of the school in this week’s assembly. I will approach parents individually if children need to wear anything specific.

Any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

*NEW*   Numeracy- Keep going with your Learnits. If there are any people who need new learnits can you write a note and let me know.

Learnits- 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.

Homework Tasks

1:      Write spelling words 3 times in neat columns.

Spelling Homework-258bx6u

2:     Write a paragraph using all your spelling words.

3:     We have now covered all the times tables in Primary 5.  Make up your own game that would help other children to practise their times tables. This could be a board game, an outdoor game or an oral game. You will be given time in class to demonstrate your game and hopefully we can play each other’s games.

4:     As we are doing assembly on Friday, make sure you practise any drama scripts, song words, poems that you have.

As our Assembly is about school camp, all children have been asked to bring ‘outdoor’ wear as their costume and welly boots if they have them. They could bring joggy bottoms, T-shirt, raincoat etc. They will need this on Friday.

This week, there will be one week’s worth of homework and then next week we will have special health week homework. Sorry again for last week’s mix up.

Reading– on reading book.

Spelling-Spelling words are in jotters. Please look, cover, write and check twice. There is also a spelling graffiti worksheet to complete.

Maths- Continue with learnits. Please practise times tables. If your child is already secure with 2/5/10 then move on. Knowing these will really help with the work we are doing in class. Practise any way you like. I have posted a link to some games if you wish to use them.

Some have a subtraction worksheet in jotters. If you have this please do not worry about the times tables work…..unless you want to 🙂

Homework

I must apologise for the homework mix up. I am very confused with dates this week! I have given out one week’s worth of homework because I thought health week was next week. Of course, it isn’t until the 5th. I will provide some more homework next week before our special health week homework.

Summer Fair

Letters should be in bags today about summer fair arrangements. Please look out for them.

I will hopefully see many of you at parents evening.
