Dear Parents and Carers,

I can’t believe we are already at the last week of term. The children have really enjoyed their outdoor learning over the last two weeks and we were very lucky with the weather.

CAMP LETTERS – Important! Permission forms are coming home today. Please check school bags, they must be returned to school by Friday 8th April. 

UKRAINE APPEAL This week (until 6.4.22) we are collecting teddies and cuddly toys in good condition, these will go to the ‘Teddy Bear Trust’ who will distribute these to Ukrainian children.

This week homework is only reading and continuing to learn their times tables.

Monday- Mandarin has moved from Wednesday to Monday just for this week. P.E as usual.

Wednesday P.E. as usual

Thursday – Golf Trip in the morning (postponed from last week). Please can children arrive 5 minutes early.

Easter activity with Mr Duffin in the afternoon.

Carrot hunt in the afternoon.

Friday Easter Assembly with Mr Duffin.  Easter Fair in MUGA 12.25 – 2.00pm

School Clothing Can you please ensure that these are appropriate. Crop tops are not suitable for school. Leotards are also not ideal for wearing all day. Football tops are not allowed. Thank you for your support with this.

I hope you all have a lovely Easter break and look forward to seeing you all on April 25th.

Kind regards,

Hi all,

I hope everyone has had a restful weekend to recover after camp! What an amazing experience it was. I have compiled several Google Slides files of photos which will be available to view on Monday morning in Google Classroom. Children will also create digital blogs this week to capture those memories.

🎽 PE  – Tuesday and Thursday – please come to school dressed for PE outdoors. Remember to bring a water bottle for hydration. 

🏠Homework : There is no formal homework this week although children may add to their blogs at home if they so wish. 

🎸Mr Forbes – Mr F will continue to rehearse the P7 song with the class this week. Very sadly, this is his final week with us. He really has made a very positive impact on everyone in school and we will miss him greatly when he goes. However…we hope that he will come back and play the guitar for us when it is time to share the P7 song with you all, towards the end of next term. 🤞🤞🤞

🐣🥕Easter Activities – Towards the end of this week there will be some Easter activity fun and an assembly with Mr Duffin on Friday.

Also on Friday, straight after school, there will be an Easter Fair in the MUGA  organised by the Parent Council (12:25 to 2pm).

 

👉Finally, term ends on Friday 8th and re-opens to all on Monday 25th April.

Have a superb break everyone!

That’s all for now,

 

Thank you,

Miss Brunt

P3 Homework – 29.3.33

Hi everyone,

Homework –

Homework will go out on a Tuesday and be returned the following Monday. This is to accommodate families who have parents working long hours and children with extracurricular activities. If you wish to still hand in Friday that isn’t a problem.

Spelling

Spelling words have been glued into the children’s jotters. Please remember to practise the words AND write the sentences unless this has been discussed with me previously. Remember the third column is optional.

Spelling focus for each group:

Ravenclaw – long o –  oa and o-e and ow revision.

As Ravenclaw are the only group with spelling words I have agreed a trade off that work can be done on chrome books and either sent to me electronically or printed and stuck into books. If your child still wishes to handwrite that is ok too.

Gryffindor, Slytherin and Hufflepuff  are all in a check up week therefore have no spelling words. If you wish to do some additional work please revise any spelling patterns previously taught.  There is no formal homework set.

Dear Parents and Carers,

Last week’s outdoor learning session on Monday was enjoyed by everyone immensely, it helped that we had such beautiful weather. We have our final outdoor learning session on Monday – hopefully the rain stays off.

Golf at Beeslack

Thursday we are off to Beeslack High School for the morning for the Ryder Cup Golf session. If possible please can all children be at school by 8.45am as the bus is booked for 8.50am.

Spelling and Reading 

Please see reading books and jotters for this weeks homework.

Chromebooks.

It’s great to see that everyone is remembering to bring them daily. Please encourage your child to remember to charge them at home.

Please send in indoor shoes if you can and haven’t already done so…it really helps the carpets. Thank you to those who have sent them in.

Many thanks,

Lisa Cumming                                                       l.cumming@midlothian.education
