Homework will be due in on Friday 10th of February.

Spelling- Words stuck in jotter. Look, say, cover, write, check three times. Then copy words out with consonants in red and vowels in blue.

Maths- This week’s maths homework will be a sumdog time challenge plus continuing with learnits. If you would like to do any extra work at home we have been working on o’clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to on analogue and digital clock.

Reading- On reading marker.

If anybody had any copies of ‘The Twits’ at home I would be very grateful if the class could borrow them as we are going to complete a novel study after the February break.

On Friday we will be going to Loanhead Library to return our books and borrow some new ones. If any children have their book at home please can you make sure they bring it in. There will be no permission slips given out as it is a local excursion.

Gorillas (contractions)

Pandas (contractions)

Wolves (double ending letters)

Children have to complete a worksheet for spelling this week.

Reading Homework

The Yellow and the Blue group- Scarlet number 4 comprehension worksheet- circle the answers.

Pink – See bookmark

Orange – See bookmark

 

Green –  See bookmark

*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.

Poetry

Just a little reminder. We will be reciting our Scottish poems on Monday (23rd). Two children will be chosen to recite their poems to the whole school on Weekday (25th).

Scottish afternoon

On Wednesday afternoon (25th) the lower atrium (P1-4) will be having a Scottish afternoon. We will be celebrating with food, music and dancing. Your child is more that welcome to wear something ‘Scottish’ if they wish.

Homework

Sorry I did not collect the homework in on Friday. I will collect it in on Monday and send the new homework grid out on Tuesday. In class, we will be focusing on poetry and also reading comprehension this week. Therefore, for this week’s reading homework I will send a comprehension task instead of reading book. Some children may come home with a book so please check reading folders.

Any questions please do not hesitate to get in contact.
