P3 Homework

Dear parents/carers,

This term, the majority of Primary 3 will have a written maths homework task to complete in their jotters. This will relate to what we have been doing in class and is intended as a revision exercise. For the next few weeks, this task will focus on times tables. Further practise can be done on Education City. If your child does not have a written task stuck in their jotter, please continue to practise the numeracy grids with them, stuck on the back page.

The spelling format remains the same-look, cover, write, check-three times, followed by a homework task chosen from the grid at the front of their jotter. These can be dated when they are done.

From next week, all P3 children will be taking their ‘Reading Passport’ home. In this, they record what they have been reading that week and review the book. This only needs to be done as they finish a book, so if they are currently enjoying a longer one, this can be completed when it is finished. We will go through the first page in class this week to ensure that all children know the format.

Many thanks for your continued support with homework,

Miss Kerr

Boxes!

It was lovely to see all the parents and carers who came to chat with me yesterday. I thought I would just share photographic evidence of the boxes we made for our gas masks:

 

The children have told me that this required them to use their maths, art, design and topic knowledge.

P7 Monuments – Virtual Tour Part 1

To help us learn more about the city in which we live, each class has been given local monuments to research and present. In P7 we have been looking at the statues to David Hume and James Clerk Maxwell. Rather than inviting you in, as we know that you can be very busy, we thought we would take you on a ‘virtual tour’ on our blog.

To start off we have researched and collated short biographies of each of our subjects:

 

 

We hope that you found this interesting, and we will add more information later.
