Welcome back and I hope that you had a lovely break and we are already a week into the final term. Last week, in Literacy, we worked on revisiting our sounds that we have been learning this year. Over the next few weeks we will be revisiting all our sounds and spelling patterns, along with our common words. In Maths we will be looking at Number Recognition on the mental maths strategies rainbow, Ms Brunner has already uploaded to this page maths challenges for you try at home. I will send out these challenges as activities for home learning with examples to support your understanding. We will also be looking at measure, mathematical symbols and data handling in the next few weeks.
We will be sending out an overview of this term’s work in the next few weeks but our topic this term will be Farm to Fork and the class will be looking at where their food comes from and what food is farmed in Scotland. The class has already decided that they would like a farmer to visit and I am in the process of trying to arrange this, watch this space! We will be visiting the library next Monday, 29th April and I would be very grateful if the children who had borrowed books from the library brought them to school to return them.
The class has another few weeks of NYCOS for music and this will happen every Tuesday morning. PE will be Tuesday and Thursday this term, please send in a change of clothes for PE as the weather is now getting warmer. We will also be taking our learning outside and with this in mind please bring a coat to school as rain can catch us out.
Home Learning is beginning again this week and will be sent out in the Home Learning bags on Monday to be returned on Friday. Mr McPheely would still like to hear about achievements that children have undertaken out of school as he is gathering this information for a lovely display in the school. Home learning this week is a spelling challenge sheet, mental maths strategies activity sheet and a book to read for pleasure, if previous books have been returned. I will send out an other curriculum grid challenge sheet next week when we have discussed the first part of our topic.
