It was lovely seeing parents and carers on Thursday and Friday to discuss the wonderful learning taking place in P3/4 so far this term. As discussed with you I am changing the way we will be learning our spelling, there will still be challenges to do but each child will use the spelling words that have been assigned to their group to focus on the spelling pattern/ sound that we are using in class. This week the sound is qu and your child will identify the group that they work in for you. Home Learning will be sent home on Monday and should be returned to school on Friday. This week a book from the class library will be sent home to read for pleasure and class readers will be sent home again after the October Week.

Please find attached the spelling for Home Learning w/b 29th September. Remember Home Learning will be sent home on Monday and should be returned on Friday. I hope to see you all at Parent Consultations and look forward to celebrating the learning and achievements that have taken place in P3/4 so far this year.

I have attached the overview of learning and what will be happening in Term 1 (Sept – Oct) in Primary 3/4. Please do not hesitate to contact me through the school office or by the school email if you have any questions. Regards Mrs Leslie.

I hope that you all had a restful September Weekend. Today P3/4 were issued with their home learning bags. I have enclosed a letter explaining when the Home Learning bag should be retuned to school and what will be issued as Home Learning in P3/4.

The Home Learning bags will be issued on a Monday and should be returned on Friday with any completed work. Please complete as much as you can as you and your children have very busy lives. Home Learning is for sharing your child’s learning and is quality time that you should spend with your child so they can explain to you what they have learned.

In the bag you will find paper copies of maths, literacy and other curriculum tasks and I will place the PDFs of any work on the blog to be available from the Monday. I have also enclosed a pencil and scrap paper to support your child’s home learning.

Maths – up until the October Week your child should attempt challenges from the Royal Mile Mental Agility Progression Rainbow. I have placed both Activity Sheet 3 and 4 in the bag and your child should date and initial the challenge they have attempted.

Sumdog – included is Sumdog password and can be used in conjunction with home learning. I will attach a task each week but this is an extra.

Reading – reading books from the previous week will be sent home. Please return them in the bags on Friday with the other home learning. Children who have not finished their book during the week and are reading the book over more than one week will have a book to read for pleasure from the class library or Book Box.

Spelling – a copy of Spelling Words linked to our Sound of the Week that is being learnt in class will be sent home with suggested challenges. This will be changed weekly.

Other Curriculum – a topic challenge grid on the Ancient Egyptians that can be completed up to the October Week.
