Homework 27th August and Tuesday’s Homework Information Session

This week we have our final homework information session. We will focus on Numeracy and Mathematics and what this looks like in our homework tomorrow.

27th August P3 Homework Task

Please take this week to become familiar or reacquainted with Education City especially for whatever devices you use at home. If there are issues, please note these in your child’s new homework jotter and focus on the Numeracy grid instead.

More general class information will be forth coming over the next few weeks but to confirm that P.E. will be on Mondays and Wednesdays. Please ensure your child has their P.E. kit (shorts/tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt) ready for these days along with suitable indoor shoes for each day.

Homework in P5

Welcome to Primary 5!

Homework will be given out on a Monday and is to be returned on a Thursday. Children who have not completed their homework by Thursday will attend a reflection time on the Friday. Children are expected to spend roughly an hour a week on their homework.

Homework will consist of spelling, reading and maths work. There may also be topic work to support what is being covered in class.

The homework for the week commencing 20th August 2018 is detailed below:

Maths

Maths homework will usually be set on Education City. All children have been given their logins and as part of their homework for this week children have been asked to make sure that they are able to access the site.

Children have also been given a worksheet sheet on place value to complete. This will support what we have been learning in class.

Reading

Children are to read a book of their choice and record this in the grid at the front of their reading journals. They should list the name of the book, the pages that they have read and a comment about what they have read so far. This could be a section that they particularly enjoyed or a character that they like.

Children should also complete the first task in their reading journal, creating an advert for their current reading book.

 

Spelling

Dead
Head
Read
Bread
Tread
Health
Spread
Feather

Wealthy

Children have been given the above list of spelling words. Children should complete one of the spelling activities from their spelling grids which should also be in their homework jotter. Children should tick off spelling activities that they have completed.

Welcome to Primary 3 2018!

Hello and welcome back to school for Primary 3!

This week and next we are having our homework information sessions in class. We will focus on Literacy and what this looks like in our homework tomorrow.

Homework 20th August

We have worked on our Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check (LSCWC) for our spelling words this week so please take time to look over our Spelling Grid and choose one activity to do with your child. Indicate which task you have done by dating the matching activity’s box.

As the Reading Journal is a new homework addition for Primary 3, we will look over this in our homework information session. When you receive this booklet, please remember to record what book your child was reading this week at home, any comment they have and initial this. Choose one sheet to work on to hand in for Thursday.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow and next week!
