I welcome you back to the third and final term of the year for Primary 1 pupils. 

Our topic for this term as selected by the children, will be pirates. I look forward to setting sail with these young adventurers  to see where their creative little minds will direct our learning. 

It has been remarkable to witness the development of these children since September. They have become independent learners who thrive on daily challenges. In term 3 we will continue along our independent writing journey, we will be reinforcing our understanding of cvc words and we will master the skill of addition and subtraction using resources as selected by the child. 

Children are making significant progress with their reading and their ability to identity high frequency keywords. I thank you for the support that you, our parents have shown to date. Reading will continue twice weekly, with keywords and sounds to be reviewed nightly. 

Written homework will continue on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday as per Term 1 and 2 with an online Reading Eggs/ Mathseeds Homework on Thursday evening. Everyone is working their way through the activity maps and I look forward to presenting more certificates throughout this term. 

P.E will continue to take place on a Tuesday and Thursday and Music tuition from Miss Una will be on a Friday. 

We have completed our Shared Education play sessions and our sensory story telling Debutots sessions with Donemana Primary School. We look forward to our Shared Education outing together, more information to follow. 

As always, our door is open if you have any questions, feel free to pop in.

Many thanks

Miss Devine
