Maths Homework-there are activities to work through on Education City relating to the topic of measure. Please do not feel that you need to do all of them this week, rather work through them at your own pace over the next 2-3 weeks.

Reading Journal-choose a task in relation to a book you are enjoying at home.

Spelling words for this week:

Welcome to the Primary 7 blog 2018/2019! As the new term gets underway, please find below some information that should be helpful.

PE is on Monday and Friday. Please ensure that your child has indoor shoes, a PE kit (shorts/tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt). These are usually kept in school on their peg.

Thank you to everyone who made it along to the homework session yesterday. For those of you who could not make it, some useful information is below and the powerpoint is attached to this post.

Spellings for this week. This week is a revision week and we will start looking at specific spelling patterns next week.

Each P7 pupil has a homework folder in which to write out their spellings and choose a spelling task from the grid (which can be ticked and dated when done). The spelling words are copied into the homework diaries, but will also be posted on the blog each week.

There is a reading journal in the folder. Choose a task each week to complete in relation to a book that is being read and enjoyed at home. These do not have to be completed in order.

From next week, Maths consolidation tasks will be set on Education City. For this week, please re-familiarise yourself with the website and check the login works. The login is the same as last year and a copy of it is stuck in the homework diary.
