P7 homework

Date
Posted by

After mid term the pupils will have literacy and numeracy homework on a weekly basis which should consolidate skills required for progression.  There will still be an expectation to read for 20 minutes each day as this has been proven to assist with spelling and writing as well as building up vocabulary knowledge.

This week Pupils have the sumdog challenge to complete as well as a comic strip from our Risk Factory visit.  The comic strip should raise awareness of (home safety, water safety, fire safety etc and show a scenario with rules/resolution highlighted at the end (or middle as some pupils wanted to show positive and negative choices)

Pupils should be revising the 8x table facts and have been working really hard on consolidating these with division links.

We are having a week of researching Evacuation and the skill focus is selecting information, highlighting and being able to produce your own text with information read.  In class pupils are currently working on a fact file on Evacuation and will write a diary entry as assessment.  Home resesrch is welcomed 🙂

Also, if you are unable to attend parent consultations please can you let me know, I have little space both nights so knowing if people are unable would be helpful.

Please could parents ensure they have returned their annual data check forms and Parent Consultation day requests asap.  Times for parent consultations will be allocated from 5/11/16 and you should receive notification by the end of the week.

There is a SUMDOG challenge for Numeracy and for your information, we have been looking at measure (volume, capacity and length/area) over the past few weeks. There is a worksheet on BOMDAS due for Friday.

We are doing a novel study in School so the reading homework is the expected 20-30 minutes reading for enjoyment each night. I have asked pupils to try and see if they have dictionaries at home as there is dictionary work homework this week – Pupils are able to borrow them from school should they need to.

Can I also ask that P7 have a FULL change of PE kit in school each day.

 

Thanks
