Welcome back – we are well into Term 3 now, and the P5-7 children are working hard on their swimming skills in their daily sessions in the pool this week. Thank you very much to our volunteer drivers who are getting us there and back every day!
This term our topics include:
Maths: Fractions, decimals and percentages, shape and patterns
Writing: Newspaper reports and information texts
Science: Growing plants
Social Studies: Natural Disasters
PE: Swimming and ball sports (the badminton and basketball festivals will be this term)
Health & Wellbeing: Using kind words
Music: YMI & Kodaly teachers will be visiting this term
Children will also be taking weekly P4C (Philosophy For Children) sessions with Miss Miller on a Thursday, French with Mrs Allen, Gealic with Mrs Sinclair and Art with Mrs MacVicar.
As before, children will be bringing home weekly homework activities which reinforce learning in class, and a group-reading book with a chapter or two to be read during the week. These come home on a Monday and need to be returned on a Friday.
Children will usually have Forest School on a Wednesday afternoon, so will need wellies and layers to stay comfortable whilst working outside. PE kit should be brought every day (this could be kept in a bag on their school peg).
