⭐️What a fabulous start to P1 all of the pupils had last week.  They have all settled in so well and it has been lovely getting to know everyone.

This week we will continue to focus on building relationships, embedding our routine and thinking about our “Zones of Regulation”.  We know it is OK to be in any zone, but we are learning our own strategies to help get ourselves back to green so we are “ready to learn.”⭐️

🏀 P.E. 🏀

For this term, pupils will have P.E. on Tuesday and Wednesday and should come to school dressed for this.  (more info on our school newsletter)

Pupils should have a water bottle with them in school every day (no juice please)

🍏Lunches🍎

Children are all offered a choice of hot meal or sandwich/alternative each day,  These come with veg bowls and fruit as well as a drink.  There is also a yoghurt included for those who choose the sandwich option.

Please click here to see the lunch menu, pupils choose their lunch in the morning.  Some children bring a supplementary lunch as well as their snack.

If you have dietary requirements, please ensure this is written on the Annual Data forms which are due back this week.

📗Book Bags📗

These an be purchased for £4 from the school office.  Please bring cash in an envelope if you wish to buy.  These are very useful for when we start to send homework and reading books home.

📝Other notes:

Milk payment is due this week

Flu Vaccination letters and annual data letters need returned ASAP.

Dear Parents / Carers,

We have had a good start to the term in P5, I am certainly enjoying working with them, it is lovely to see how much they have grown and developed since P1!

A little bit of information for you, as from Monday 23^rd August:

On Tuesday and Thursday please make sure your child comes to school in clothes suitable for P.E. and with a rain jacket.

Reading books will come home this week, please support them to do their reading every night.

Homework will be given out on a Monday and returned by Friday.

Spelling homework should be worked on every night whenever possible….little and often! This is starting on Monday 23^rd August please see their jotter for the word pattern they are learning and information to help them complete the homework and learn the spellings.

Please could you cover their homework jotter with wrapping paper or wallpaper – it protects their jotter and helps them to identify it quickly.

Date for your dairy: Meet the Teacher – Tuesday 31^st August 3.20pm – 3.50pm

Please get in touch if you have any questions.

Kind regards,

Lisa Cumming

Hi all,

What a wonderful first few days back the class have had. It has been so lovely to see all the children again and hearing all about their summer.

A few reminders for the week:

👟 P.E. is on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. The class will have an early lunch on Wednesday at 12pm as their P.E. slot begins at 12:45pm, but the rest of the week their lunch is 12:30pm. Please ensure your child comes to school dressed for P.E. on those days.

📝 Homework will begin on Monday and should be handed in on Friday. At the moment, the children will have spelling and reading homework to complete. Reading homework should be completed every night and signed to evidence this. Once we get into the swing of our work, maths/numeracy homework will be assigned too.

🇨🇳 Mandarin with Miss Sun will begin on Wednesday afternoon for the class.

🥛 Milk letters were given out earlier this week, please ensure if you wish for your child to receive milk this term it has to be handed in by Friday 27th August.

👩🏻‍🏫 Meet the Teacher is on Tuesday 31st August and will be taking place outside of the classroom. If you wish to come along to see me and have a chat about the upcoming year, then please ensure you wear a mask and we will be observing social distancing. Please note this is also weather dependent. 

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and if you have any questions, then please do get in touch.

Good Afternoon,

It is lovely to be back and to see all the children after the summer.  We have had a lovely day today.

This is just to give you a quick note to tell you that they have P.E. tomorrow (Thursday 19/08/21) so should come to school dressed for P.E. I did tell the children today but wanted to let you know too.

I will provide more information about homework and P.E. etc. next week.

Please get in touch if you have any questions.

Regards,

Hi all,

I hope you all had a wonderful summer. I just wanted to make you all aware of a few changes this year.

The children have their morning break at 10:30am and then lunch is at 12:30pm. Please ensure your child comes to school with a snack, packed lunch and water bottle everyday.

P.E. for Primary 6 will be on a Monday and Wednesday afternoon. On Monday and Wednesday, can the children please come dressed in their P.E. kit as we are not using changing facilities. 

The class will be issued homework on a Monday (spelling and reading). This will follow the same format as last year, spelling homework will be due in on Friday and reading homework should be completed every night with a signature beside it to evidence it has been completed. The class will copy their group’s spelling list into their jotter on Monday morning, and there will be a task for them to complete, as well as the usual look, cover, write check. Please encourage cursive handwriting when your child is completing their spelling homework.

We still have our class windows open for ventilation, so you may wish to give your child an extra jumper/hoody to bring in if they get cold. Please ensure all items are labelled.

I am so excited to be teaching the class again, as well as working with you all.

As always, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Welcome back P7!

I hope you all had a super summer break and are looking forward to returning to school. This post is just a brief update about what to expect this week.

⏰Please arrive on time for 08:50 and make your way to the P7 external door.

📴All mobiles should be switched off and handed in at the start of the day.

🎽PE – PE will return to two separate slots this term but for this week only, P7 have PE on Wednesday (18th Aug) and so should come dressed for PE ( no changing at school allowed yet)

🍱Packed Lunch – Pupils should bring a snack, water bottle and a packed lunch. The dining hall is not open to serve food yet and pupils will still eat in classrooms for the time being. The break times have changed slightly and children will have more freedom in the playground 😊

That’s all for now. Please check this webpage each Monday for news about the week ahead, including information about homework issued. No homework this week.

Thank you,

Miss S Brunt
