Primary 1A Newsletter, Term 3
Dear Parents/ Carers,
Happy New Year to All!
Classroom Routine
I continue to have my day out of class on a Wednesday. Miss Murdoch will take the class where she will be focussing on Talking and Listening, beyond number in maths, music and outdoor learning.
Gym Days
Our Gym days are Mondays and Wednesdays. Please send your child ready for gym on these days. Black/ Blue shorts/ leggings/ joggers, trainers, white polo shirt, school jumper/ cardigan. No earrings please. On a Monday we are in the gym but on a Wednesday the children will have gum outside.
Literacy
We are continuing to work our way through our phonics programme. This term we are basing our writing around fairytales. We are now writing in sentences which is an amazing accomplishment!
Numeracy
We are continuing with our addition stories, introducing subtraction and fractions too. The children are able to now connect prior learning to new learning which is lovely to see.
Context of Learning
We have a science focus this term of toys and friction however we will be looking at toys in the past too.
Reading Books
If your child brings a reading book home please practise this with them every night. Please also ensure that their book is on their bag for use in school. Sometimes a group will hold onto their books for longer than the week, this happens if I feel the group aren’t confident with the book they are reading.
How can I help my child?
As always, if you have concerns please speak to me at the school gate or contact the school office and I will call you back.
Thank you for your support,
Mrs McHutchison
P1 Class Teacher/ Principle Teacher
