Welcome to this Learning Support page where you can find further information about the support provided this year.

This year I will be working with a group of P5 pupils from both Miss Murray and Mrs Allen/Mrs McKelvey’s classes. These pupils will be with me until lunchtime each day and we will work on both Literacy and Numeracy during this time.

What does my child need?

I will provide pupils with all necessary equipment such as pencils, rulers etc during class time but they should have access to a pencil case at home in order to complete their homework. There will be a written Literacy homework on a Monday night and their written Numeracy homework will be given on a Tuesday. Spellings, tables and reading will be given for homework daily which are so important, please encourage your child to complete these each night. Remind your child to check they have their yellow folder, spellings and reading book everyday. An online homework will also be set each week and details of this will be provided through SeeSaw.

What will my child be learning this year?

More information is provided on the main P5 page about the specific topics that will be studied throughout the year. The work we cover in Learning Support is closely aligned with the main class so your child will be enjoying the same World Around Us themes. Parent Helpsheets for Literacy and Numeracy are also provided on the main P5 class page. These documents will prove useful to help you support with their learning at home.

I will post regular updates and photos of your child on SeeSaw throughout the year which I hope you will enjoy.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Mrs Holmes
