Happy New Year to you all. I hope you have all had a fun but restful time over the festive period. Thank you so much for the lovely cards and gifts, they were all very much appreciated.
On Thursday 11th January a group of P1s will be taking part in some Outdoor Learning with Sean Fallon (Outdoor Education Teacher). The rest of P1 will attend on the remaining dates: 25th, 26th January and 9th February. More information will follow regarding this.
We still have lots of work to get through this year so we will get on with it straight away!
Phonics: The children will continue with learning their sounds and we will be focusing a lot more on using these sounds in their writing and reading.

PE will be on Wednesdays with Mrs Duncan and one other day – I will confirm this but please ensure your child has their kit (t-shirt, shorts and socks if they wear tights) in school.
Music with Mrs Callighan is on Mondays
Throughout the majority of January the whole school are taking part in ‘Scottish Month’ We will be learning about Scotland and the culture and language. The children will be given a short poem in Scots to learn so that they can take part in the Burns Poetry Competition – more information will follow.
