Last week rushed passed and being a short week Friday came quickly. Primary 3 worked hard last week and I must thank all the parents for their support in getting our Home Learning off to a flying start. The feedback from the children is that they enjoyed the work and I can see that from the amount of work that has gone into each piece of Home Learning.
Last week we continued with our sound patterns in spelling and all groups have started to use their spelling in dictation on a Friday. In maths we have moved on to addition and subtraction and we will be focusing this week on the maths vocabulary we use to describe addition and subtraction and applying it to our number work. We have been working on our Hinduism topic in Religious and Moral Education and we will be looking at the story of Sita and Rama to link with our Festival of Light Theme and learning about Diwali.
Another thank you for PE kits and additional shoes for indoors they have been very useful due the weather never being the same each day. Once again we will be painting this week and if you wish to send in an old shirt to protect your child’s clothes please do.
Home Learning will be issued on Monday in the bags and should be returned on Friday. This week there will be either a book to read for pleasure chosen by your child or their class reader, weekly spelling words challenge and the school’s Mental Rainbow Maths Strategies challenge. Please continue to use the Viking Grid that was sent out last week as this will be the other curriculum Home Learning up until October holiday. Please find attached copy of the Spelling and Maths.
