Hi everyone,
-This week we will be recording to perform as part of the Loanhead PS Christmas celebration video which includes the p1&2 Nativity. We will be be performing Robbie William’s Can’t Stop Christmas. If you get a chance to practice this at home I would appreciate it.
- Can I also ask if possible could the children bring in a festive jumper to wear for filming on Thursday.
- The weather has took a turn. As we are still having to keep windows open during the day for ventilation I have been allowing children to keep their coats on. Lots of kids have opted to do this but are feeling quite uncomfortable. If it is possible for children to bring an additional hoodie or jumper to keep cosy that would be fab!
- I have lot’s of Christmas card lists in class if any children would like one to write Christmas cards. Cards are being quarentined when brought into school to keep us all safe. If you would like one just get your little one to let me know.
Reading:
If you see task on your child’s group I have sent a sheet home with them. This gives a variety of different possible task ideas. You and your child can pick a minimum of one to do but please do not feel limited to one either. These can be verbal tasks or tasks recorded in their blue homework jotter. In addition they also provide some good ideas and questions to assist with guided reading to work on your child’s comprehension whilst daily reading largely works on fluency and decoding.

SPELLING
Their spelling words are stapled into the blue homework jotter. These words need to be learnt and the children should look out for other words of the same spelling pattern when they are reading.
Please use the grid to help learn the spellings or use LOOK, COVER, WRITE, CHECK.
Red Group: ‘sl.pl and fl ’ sound at the start of words.
Words such as: slip, plug and flop
Yellow Group: ‘oo’ spelling pattern
Words such as: moon , spoon , maroon
Can I ask that you encourage your children as far as possible to be using cursive writing and forming their letters correctly and starting and ending at the correct point.
https://teachhandwriting.co.uk/continuous-cursive-beginners-choice-4.html give a great example of where cursive letters should start and end as well as where each letters leading lines are.
Green Group: Word lists in the homework jotter.
Numeracy
I will also be sending home a 2x table worksheet as we have been revising the 2x table over the last week. It isn’t compulsory to complete but is recommended.
Have a lovely week everyone!
Miss Ramsay
