Wishing a very Happy New Year to all our P3 families, it was really lovely to see everyone back fit and healthy today!
Just a quick run down for this week.
Our spelling focus this week is the long a sound , a-e or magic e. Spelling words have come home today in the Home Learning jotters. We worked on these words in class before the holiday, so we will have a quick turnaround. These words will be assessed on Thursday (Home Learning jotters handed in please) and new words will be issued on Friday.
New reading books were also issued today; we were slightly short on some titles and so your child may not come home with a book every night. We’ll try our best to swap these around so that each child gets a book home at least every second night.
In Numeracy we are going to spend the first couple of weeks reviewing/consolidating all addition and subtraction strategies covered before the holidays. We will then be moving on to multiplication, division and fractions, with a Maths focus on telling the time.
Our Learning Overview for this term should be available to view on the blog by the end of this week; this will give you some idea of the key learning experiences we will be working on this term. As always, if you feel you can lend your expertise in any of the areas we will be looking at we would love to hear from you. Weekly Big Learning posts will start again next week, with ideas on how to best help support your child in their learning at home.
A quick reminder that all children should have a pair of clean indoor shoes and a PE kit in school each day.
