Last week was a short week and it flew by but P3/4 worked hard to finish their Ancient Egyptian Topic looking at mummification. This week we will planning for our next topic about Housing and our Community and we are also in charge of planning Scottish Book Week which will take place from 17th -24th November so watch this space for breaking news.

Home Learning will be sent out on Monday and should be returned on Friday. This week there will be a book to read for pleasure as we have not finished our class readers, the SHANARRI challenge grid, Math Grid that has challenges that cover the areas we are learning in class in the next six weeks and the weekly spelling challenge sheet. I have left the Rainbow Maths Strategies grids in the Home Learning bags and these can still be used as we are still working in the area of addition and subtraction.

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.
