Dear Primary 5 families,

I hope you had a wonderful weekend.

This week the spelling patterns are: ea. There are 4 spelling tasks on the page, please choose one to complete in the homework jotter.

Ivory Group: There are 10 spelling words to practise, however if your child already knows several, they can choose to practise the three challenge words in place of 3 they already know.

Blue Group: There are 10 spelling words to practise and 3 Common Words. These will change each week.

Numeracy: Our numeracy topic is fractions. The blue group are recognising fractions and writing them correctly. The Ivory group are using visuals to recognise and write equivalent fractions. 

Health and Well-Being: This term, we are focusing on Keep Connected. In the homework folder is the Home Activity. Please note this can be done over 2 weeks and is due on Thursday, 10th of February.  

 If anything is not clear or there are any concerns, please do let me know.

I hope you all have a lovely week.

Kind regards,

Mrs Harrison

WELCOME to LANGUAGES WEEK!

Please find attached instructions, activities and resources for this week’s homework.

to share poems, stories and songs in different languages!

I am so sorry to hear some of our pupils are needing to isolate at home over coming days and I’d like to reassure parents that we will do everything we can to make sure that they are supported to catch up and do not miss any important learning.

I have updated each child’s education city account with a series of activities, games and worksheets in Sequencing Numbers, as this will be our focus in class next week.

Education City can be found here. If you have any problems getting logged on please let us know.

As next week is languages week it would also be really beneficial for pupils to spend this time learning a new language! Maybe do some learning in your home language or search online for translations of key vocabulary in a new language that interests you. It would be wonderful if pupils can tell us their name, their age and how they are feeling in a different language!!

Or try translating this Spanish video!

I hope this helps to keep some of our boys and girls busy. I will add more tasks during the week. Please do remember these tasks are optional and should only be completed if children and adults are well enough to do so. Please keep safe and we look forward to seeing you feeling better very soon! Mrs Peoples 😊

We had a lovely day in Primary 4 today to celebrate the end of Scottish week.

Carla, one of the P7 house captains, visited to share some more Scots language with us after seeing our wonderful Scots language display in the school corridor outside our classroom.

We then listened to a rendition of Robert Burns’ “Address to the Haggis” and enjoyed our very own Burns Supper. Everyone tried some of it and there were lots of empty plates which was wonderful to see!
