Children will get one spelling sound a week and we will follow our spelling carousel which includes, introducing the sound, diacritical marking, elkonin boxes, silly letters and a test on a Friday.

All children will focus on one book per week. P3's will follow the reflective reading scheme and P2's will work on building their comprehension skills through different activities.

Numeracy

We will have daily CLIC sessions, completing our Big Maths challenges on a Friday.

We will focus on 2D and 3D shape, patterns and relationships,mathematics, its impact on the world past, present and future and Maths Week Scotland will be from 22nd - 28th September.

HWB

We will focus on mental health and wellbeing and our emotions.

We have already introduced our emotional check-in which children complete every morning and can change throughout the day.

We will have P.E every Monday and RADS every Tuesday.

Science

We will be looking at biodiversity and interdependence and energy sources

and sustainability.

Topic

Our first topic this term is Caring Citizens which gives us an opportunity to get to know each other, our learning styles, needs, abilities, work on friendship making and building and creating structures, routines and our UNCRC Class Charters.
