Primary 1 Information 11.1.24

Welcome back P1 pupils and families,

⭐We hope that you all had a fabulous festive season and are all well rested and refreshed.  We have a busy term ahead which begins with Mental Health week this week.  We will be talking about emotions, friendships, Zones of Regulation and doing a lot of Yoga and Mindfulness.

PE is still Tuesday and Wednesday: Please have indoor shoes and PE kits kept in school.

💧: Water in water bottles please, no juice.

All families are now connected to SeeSaw which is great 🙂

Next week we will be having a Scottish Fortnight and we will be learning lots of interesting things relating to our country.  One of the highlights of this fortnight is the whole school poetry recital.  Every child in LPS learns a Scots poem to recite to their class.  Teachers give learner’s a selection to choose from.  One child from each class is selected to recite their poem at our Scots assembly and there is a winner from each Atrium.

We will hand out the poems this Friday to give you as much time as possible to have fun with your child to learn the wee poems off by heart.  We will be reciting them in class on the 22/1/24, or before if pupils ask.  This should be something you enjoy doing with your child and not a stress.  The idea is that every learner does this each year so it’s for everyone and everyone can do it.  You can also record your child reciting their poem and pop it on SeeSaw if you wish.

Thanks once again for all our lovely gifts at Christmas.
