Just a quick post to wish everyone a happy return to school, hoping everyone is settled and ready to learn!
It has already been a whole month back! Where has time gone??!!

I also wanted to share with families the home learning for the week. Please, note that the Spelling grid has suggestions for every spelling pattern, I will update the spelling pattern every week but the spelling tasks will remain the same or similar for the term.
There are also suggestions for Mental Agility (Maths and Numeracy) with links to online games and suggestions for activities at home.

Please, remember that Home Learning can be flexible and you can adapt it to your timings and routines and there should be no pressure to complete it all in one week. Do as you can, and it will be enough.
Learners are also taking a reading book from the Library to promote reading for pleasure, which will have a weekly task with it.

I hope it all makes sense, any doubts, please catch me at the end of the day for a quick chat, or email to school if your enquiry requires a longer answer.

Best wishes.

Mr Dominguez

I hope everyone had a restful Easter Break and ready to face the last term of Primary 5!

I just wanted to send a quick reminder of Home Learning in Primary 5.

There are Spelling and Maths/Numeracy tasks that learners can access online through https://www.sumdog.com/ throughout the entire term to practice the skills learned in School.

There are other online apps/games that learners could use to practice Numeracy/Maths and Literacy skills such as Defenders of Mathematica https://www.bbc.co.uk/games/embed/guardians-mathematica?exitGameUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fbbc.com%2Fbitesize%2Farticles%2Fzn2y7nb and Crystal explorers https://www.bbc.co.uk/games/embed/crystal-explorers?exitGameUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fbbc.co.uk%2Fbitesize%2Farticles%2Fzbm8scw

Additionally, every Monday, Primary 5 use the School’s Library to borrow a book of their choice which promotes reading for pleasure. We encourage families to use these books to read together at home, which has a very positive impact on the reading fluency and understanding skills of the learners.

I hope you find this helpful!

Have a lovely long weekend!!

Kindest regards,

Mr Dominguez

Just a quick message to share some photos from last Friday. Primary 5 visited the Playhouse and took part in a dancing and singing workshop! They were all fantastic!

I also would like to take the chance to remind families that Home Learning is available on Sumdog, a very engaging and interactive online platform. Every week there is a target for Maths and Numeracy and also Spelling. It can also be accessed from any device with connection to internet, from a mobile phone, to a tablet, laptop or PC.

Please get in touch if this doesn’t suit so we can work a way around it for everyone to have access to it.

Have a nice week everyone!

Kindest regards.

Mr Dominguez.
