Hi all,

The final week of term is here! I have decided to not send home reading homework or book bags this week as I understand how busy you all are with the run up to Christmas and our week in school is equally busy.

I will however send home a festive phonics blending booklet this week if you wish to do any work over the Christmas holidays. This is entirely optional please don’t feel pressured to get it done and take the time to enjoy the holidays with your little ones.

Finally, we will attending church this Friday and are looking for any parents who are available to attend to help us on the walk down. If you are interested can you let me know at pick up or via e-mail at k.ramsay@mgfl.net.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas when it comes and a Happy New Year,

Miss Ramsay

General- P7 will take part in Team Challenges this week. There’s 5 teams. There’s a sports challenge, a mega-quiz, a ‘survival’ game called Arctic Adventure which takes place in a PE hall and a strategy challenge which really tests team work! Hopefully, this will all be a lot of fun and it continues to develop skills at the same time!

Congratulations to everyone who played their part so well in the school concert ‘Silent Night’. There was such positive feedback from parents about it – each class performed wonderfully but of course, I am especially proud of P7. Well done and thank you!

Best wishes for 2020,

Miss S Brunt

Hello P3 parents,

I’ve arranged a class trip to the Loanhead Library next Thursday, where the library staff will read a story to the class and they’ll get a chance to browse the book selection. We need two parent helpers for the trip due to class numbers, so this is my plea for any volunteers! We will leave school at 10:15am and return for 11:15am. If you are interested, could you please let me know at s.mcgaff@mgfl.net as soon as possible? It will be the first two to respond to me that we’ll take along.

Thanks a lot,

Mr McGaff

Hello everyone,

For P3’s homework this week, I have decided against standard reading and spelling homework. Instead, I have created a revision sheet that covers a few things we have done in 2019. This homework is entirely optional, but it should be a nice way to refresh your child’s memory before we break up for the winter break. Feel free to answer questions on the back of the sheet or on a separate piece of paper, and let me know if you have enjoyed the format and I can prepare something similar for next week! 🙂

Thanks a lot,

Mr McGaff

• Pupil Talks presentation – I had originally set this homework to be completed by Monday 2^nd December, however some have yet to be finished and brought into school therefore I have encouraged those pupils who have not started, to try and prepare one this week. Thank you to those who have prepared a pupil talk and are waiting to present it. From the talks I have listened to so far, I am really impressed and I can see the effort the children have made to highlight their personal interests and hobbies.

Thank you for your support,

Mr. Nelson
