Hello and Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had a lovely break and is looking forward to the new term. This week there will be no homework and we will practise reading and spelling in class.
Please could the children’s bags come in with them on Monday 17th January. Reading, maths and spelling homework will begin next week as usual.
Thanks for all your support,
Mrs Lynch
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

That’s all for now,
Miss S Brunt
Happy New Year Everyone!
I hope you have all had a good break and managed to enjoy some celebrations whilst avoiding the dreaded Covid. Hopefully you have all manged to stay healthy and I look forward to starting the year healthily and welcoming all the class back tomorrow.
Not much to report this week:
P.E. Days have changed – P5 will now have P.E. on a Monday and Wednesday afternoon. These days children should come to school dressed for P.E. with layers in case it is outside.
We will start new reading books this week but spelling homework will resume next week.
Please ensure your child is dressed for the cold weather for break and lunchtimes. Extra layers are welcome in school as we will continue to have windows and doors open at times.
P5 will be having free school lunches from this term. Due to recent Covid changes we will not be eating in the dining room because we need to stay within our class group indoors. A letter will be issued regarding lunches.
As always please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind regards,
Lisa Cumming l.cumming@midlothian.education
As part of Midlothian Council’s Equipped for Learning programme, a digital device for learning is being provided to every child of school age. This is to ensure that all young people have access to the technology they need for learning, both at school and at home.
For further information on the programme, and to fill out the parental agreement form please see the links below. The devices will not be allocated for full use until the agreements are filled out. This is an online form.

Parental Acknowledgement Form (must be completed ASAP).
This year Midlothian Council have transferred pupil and staff accounts to Google. This means that the old Google Classroom, accessed through Glow in P2, is no longer in use.
Today your child came home with instructions to access their new classroom as well as a new username and password.
Google classroom can be accessed via gmail.
You can also log in with the midlothian.education username and password on a chrome browser.
Next year, when every child will have a device to learn on in school, children will log in every day with these usernames and passwords and home learning will be here too (also remote learning if needed).
Please log on and post something so we know that you can get access. If you need any support feel free to email Miss Ramsay or Mrs Hinton.

Hi all,
The final few days of term are upon us!
PE – Monday and Wednesday.
The last three days will consist of finishing previous work/projects; a final Zoom assembly on Wednesday; online pantos; watching the class song recordings; Christmas card making & crafts. We will prepare and organise for next term. We will tidy our trays out and send work home, if appropriate.
For obvious reasons, we are being extra vigilant with hand sanitising and room ventilation. The latter often means that windows and doors are open so children may wear extra layers or coats in class if they wish.
***School finishes on Wednesday 22nd December at 3:15 pm. Pupils resume Tuesday 11th January 2022.***
I hope everyone has a safe, happy and healthy time and see you all in 2022!
Miss S Brunt
