There’s just wo weeks of term left and such a lot to pack in! This week has many exciting events for the children.
Monday 11th – Infant Nativity – 2pm ” Lights, Camel, Action!” We look forward to seeing you there; our dress rehearsal was great fun and it has a real ‘feel good’ vibe to it.
Tuesday 12th – Hopscotch Theatre visit LHPS in the afternoon to present to P1-4, Aladdin. ( Oh yes, they are!)
Wednesday 13th – Christmas Jumper Day ( or T-shirt) and Christmas Lunch. Remember, P2 do not pay for their lunch but should have made their menu selection by now.
Reminder– P1/2 Christmas Party is the following week on Wednesday 20th ( different day from P3-7). If not paid already, can you hand in £1 towards cost please. Children could bring in their party clothes in a bag and change at lunch time if you like. Santa usually finds time to drop in too, to give out a small gift. Parents are welcome to watch this part but the time is yet to be confirmed ( he is such a busy man at this time of year…) It may be 2:15 0r 2:30ish or so….
Homework:
Spelling – please complete the second set of 6 ‘tricky words’ sent home last week.
Reading – continues as normal- just check bags daily for updates.
*There will be no new homework next week*
Thank you,
Miss S Brunt
WW2 Homework grid is due on Tuesday – Pupils have had 3 weeks to do 8 or 9 detailed activities (30 mins on each at least) – WW2 HOMEWORK GRID –
ALL PUPILS HAVE READING HOMEWORK
PUPIL BEHAVIOUR PASSPORTS – Apologies for not handing these out today. I am trying to get another system as 10 pupils did not hand them in last week so I am thinking of either a parent email or just doing it weekly. Any suggestions welcome 🙂 They are a lot of work but have been welcomed by parents.
SCHOOL SHOW – COSTUMES AND PROPS FOR MONDAY (The actual show is a week on Monday.
Pantomime is Tuesday afternoon – arrive back at school at 4.30. Whole upper atrium are out and the lower school will be at their panto too.
XMAS JUMPER DAY AND SCHOOL XMAS LUNCH are on Wed 🙂 Cash donations for local charity.
Reading – All pupils will have reading for next week (Wednesday 13/12/17).
Numeracy – All pupils will have a Christmas numeracy worksheet of their choice to complete for Friday 15/12/17.
Well done on the tombs! Hopefully this link will show you a wee video.
Thanks for all the hard work.
Don’t worry if your tomb is still to come in. There will be time to show later in the week.
Primary 3 Homework – Week from 5th December
This week we’re excited about our museum trip. After we have written reports on this visit, that will be the end of our Egypt topic.
Thank you to all who have paid £1 towards the Christmas party on Tuesday 19th. There is still plenty of time to hand this in.
Best wishes,
Mr Buchan
Numeracy (images missing from online version – please see printed sheet – apologies!)
We are adding two digit numbers, building up difficulty in steps:
– Adding two tens numbers together (e.g. 30 + 50)
– Adding a tens number to another two digit number (e.g. 30 + 54)
– Adding two digit numbers without bridging over 10 (e.g. 33 + 54)
– Adding two digit numbers bridging over 10 (e.g. 38 + 54)
– Adding two digit numbers bridging over 10 and 100 (e.g. 48 + 54)
To solve these additions (in the end we want to be doing this mentally) we are learning how to use two different strategies.
The first involves breaking down the numbers into parts that are easier to work with. For example: 33 + 54 = 30 + 50 + 3 + 4
The second strategy involves using an empty number line.
+4 +10 +10 +10 +10 +10
33 37 47 57 67 77 87
Please ask the children to show you how these strategies work. You could get them to demonstrate on 33 + 54 and 38 + 54.
As confidence grows, have a go at the Topmarks speed challenge:
https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Flash.aspx?f=SpeedChallenge
Under “Addition and Subtraction”, I would start with 15 or 20 seconds per question, building up from TU + TU without crossing 10s.
Reading
Pages to read at home will be written down in the grids as usual.
Spelling
Spelling words to practice this week are:
rain paint
tail wait
