P7 Homework Assignment – Personal Profiles

Dear Parents and P7 pupils,

As part of transition from P7 to High school, the teachers at your new school are excited to find out more about you!

One way of sharing this information is to complete a personal profile about your personality, your favourite subjects and hobbies / interests.

I have attached on Google Classroom, the two templates for you to use.
One is for Lasswade High School and one is for Beeslack.
– Please select the template to complete for the secondary school you will be attending.

I have also attached two past examples of completed profiles to give you an idea of what you are expected to write. The profiles can vary, so do not feel that you have to fill all the space in the boxes.
I highly recommend you try completing this with a family member at home. Even if it is only to check your spelling and grammar.

Once you save and turn in your completed profile, these can be checked over once more by me, printed and passed onto your new school. (If you find it easier, please feel free to email your profile directly to me. Please see my email below.)

These profiles are collected by your new school, so the sooner we complete them and have them double checked, the better. I would greatly appreciate if these can be finished by Friday 21st May so that I can check them over.

Any pupil not attending either of these schools next year, please do not worry, you can simply edit the document for the school you are attending.

Thanks for your support,

Mr Nelson

Rainforest Talk Letter

P5 Week Beginning 26.4.21

Hi all,

I hope you all had a lovely and restful Easter holiday. What wonderful weather we had!

Below are just a few reminders of what is happening this week. I will also post reminders on Google Classroom too.

Homework

Spelling homework can be found on Google Classroom and should be completed in your child’s green jotter and brought in on Friday.

Reading books should be taken home everyday and returned the next morning so your child can join in with their group. Please help your child have a look for their reading record as it is very important they get a signature from an adult every night to evidence homework completion.

Reminders

We have P.E. with Mrs Duncan on Wednesday so children should come to school dressed in their P.E kit.

P5 are also very lucky to have Miss Sun on Thursday afternoons for Mandarin, and we have our whole school zoom assembly on Friday.

If you need anything then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Nursery Sun Protection Policy

As the weather is changing children are choosing to spend more time outdoors. It is very important to ensure the children are protected from the sun. Below is a link to our current sun protection policy. If you feel we could add to or improve this then please give any ideas to a member of staff.

Thank You

Welcome to the new term.

Good Morning Primary 2, 

I hope you have all enjoyed your spring holidays and have made the most of the sunshine that we have had the past week. 
I wanted to clarify the PE clothing situation that has had a few parents/guardians confused. PE is only on a THURSDAY with me.
We will have outdoor learning again this term but the dates are to still be confirmed and I will share here as well with the children when I get the dates confirmed. 
I also want to let you know that we will be doing a pupil talk in class very soon. I have attached a document that fully outlines the expectations and the timeline we are looking at. The talks wont begin until the week beginning 3/5/21. If you have any questions, feel free to email me or talk to me at the end of the day. 
Thank you, 
Mr Peacock

P4 Homework & Update – March 2021

✨Welcome back to school P4! ✨

We are delighted to back on school grounds and particularly so in this lovely spring weather. Obviously we still have to adhere to safety measure to ensure all children and staff in school are as safe as possible so please follow the FACTS guidance at all times. When we are working indoors,  it is still extremely important that our classrooms are kept well ventilated so the windows will be open throughout the day. Please ensure that your child also brings in a warm jumper/fleece as it can still get chilly and wearing layers is the best way to keep warm.

Unfortunately we are still unable to use the indoor hall spaces so will be as creative with the outdoor and classroom space as much as possible whilst ensuring everyone’s safety.

Homework

  • 🔡Spelling: will continue from w/b 22nd March with pupils writing new spelling words in their homework jotter on Tuesday each week. At home they should use:

LOOK   THINK/SAY   COVER   WRITE   CHECK

to write out their new spelling words three times in neat columns. They should also complete an activity card which will earn pupils 2 credit card points. An optional second activity may be completed for extra practice (and 1 credit card point) but is not mandatory. Completed spelling homework should be returned the following Monday to be marked and the next spelling pattern will be given for homework on Tuesday each week.

  • 🔢Numeracy & Maths: please use the enclosed activity sheet to practise work which has been taught in class. Pupils can write straight onto this sheet so no need to copy into their jotters and this can be returned in their folder on Monday of the following week.
  • 📚Reading: all pupils have been allocated a reading book which will go home twice per week to be read with an adult. It is extremely important that this activity is done at home as only through regular reading practice, will children improve this valuable life skill! Please ensure your child’s reading book is returned to school on the date written on the bookmark. It would also be helpful if you could initial this when you have heard your child read.
  • 👟PE/Health & Wellbeing: this will be an outdoor activity where possible and to that end, can children please come dressed for outdoor PE on the allocated day each week (see dates below).  An outdoor kit will consist of trainers, shorts/jogging bottoms/leggings, t-shirt, fleece and outdoor showerproof jacket. We have no changing areas at present so children will wear their kit for the day.
    Date P.E. / Health & Wellbeing Activity Day
    18.03.21 Thursday
    23.03.21 Tuesday
    01.04.21 Thursday
