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.
