P5 Week Beginning 16/05/22

This week in P5 (16/05/22)

Some of you may have seen or heard about a MISS MACHETTO – she is a student teacher and will be with us until the end of term.

WALK TO SCHOOL WEEK


I just wanted to let you all know how well the class did at camp. Everyone took part in everything, they had a real ‘HAVE-A-GO’ attitude. It was lovely to see the children in a different environment facing different challenges.
I could not have been prouder of the class…their behaviour and manners were super!
As part of WALK TO SCHOOL WEEK on TUESDAY we are having HAPPY SHOESDAY  – can children please wear a pair of shoes that make them happy! These should not be high heels, heelies, shoes with studs on the bottom or roller skates. Please make sure they are suitable to wear at school. If they want to wear slippers they need to bring a pair of outdoor shoes.
On Friday at 10.00am the whole school are doing a walk along the safe route and back to school. P5, 6 and 7 will walk with their buddies
FRIDAY: It is French Friday this week at school. We are asking children to wear the colours of the French flag if they would like to (red, white and blue). A couple of the classes are leading a French assembly for us. Please avoid fancy dress costumes in these colours as they may not be suitable to do the school walk in.
 
Also on Friday at 10.00am the whole school are doing a walk along the safe route and back to school. P5, 6 and 7 will walk with their buddies.
Pupil Talks – Some children will be doing their pupil talk this week and some next week. Your child has been told when their talk is. 
 
Spelling – Please see spelling jotter. Children can complete it in their jotter or on Google Classroom. If they complete it in their jotter could they try and take a photo and upload it to Google Classroom. This helps to build their IT skills.
Numeracy – please continue with times tables and complete the fraction sheet (to be handed in on Friday 20th)
Reading – please see reading books.
CHROMEBOOKS – The class will not need their chrome books in school on Wednesday or Friday this week.
Kind regards,

P6 Week Beginning 16.5

Hi all,

This week is ‘Walk to School Week!’ On Tuesday, children can wear their happiest (school-appropriate!) shoes to school. Please remember, that the class do have P.E. this day, so they may wish to bring an extra pair to wear when outside and at P.E.

On Friday, we will be going on a whole school walk to celebrate the end of the week. We will be walking with our P1 Buddies.

French Friday – On Friday, the class will be having a French style breakfast and can wear the colours of the French flag (red, blue and white!) to celebrate this day.

Peer Mediation – Mrs Kirby will begin to train the class to become Peer Mediators when they enter P7. This is when they will use restorative practice to help the children in the playground resolve any problems they may have. Our first sessions are on Monday afternoon and Friday morning. 

P.E: Tuesday and Thursday – please come dressed for P.E and bring a water bottle for hydration.

Mandarin on Wednesday with Ms Sun.

Assembly on Friday at 11:30am.

Monday 23rd May – Holiday for pupils and inservice for staff.

We have decided we will not be using Chrome-books on a Friday in class, therefore children will not need to bring them into school on Fridays. However, the expectation is still that they are charged at home and brought to school Mon-Thurs.

Homework 

Reading: Children will continue to have reading homework each night. Please encourage your child at least once a week to read aloud as this supports fluency and expression.

Spelling: Words should be written three times in neat, cursive handwriting in their jotter. I am encouraging the children to write in pen, to help them to take care when writing.

Numeracy: This task can be found on Google Classroom.

Please ensure that your child takes care with their spelling homework and completes both their spelling and numeracy homework for Friday. All children can access the homework because they all have a device. 

Thanks for your support,

Miss Lauren Waller

P7 Info W/B 16th May 2022

Hi all,

🚶‍♀️***WALK TO SCHOOL WEEK***🚶‍♀️

This week, pupils are encouraged to get to school using leg power where possible!

👞Shoesday Tuesday – To promote Walk to School Week, wear your favourite shoes ( appropriate for school!) on Tuesday. To round off the week, we will go for a  local walk with our buddies on Friday.

➡️ Transition Information – Pupils going to Lasswade High will now have a transition  task to do each Tuesday and this can be found in their S1 Google Classroom. I am also asking children to check this daily for updates.

Beeslack – We have been notified there will be a transition evening on May 25th – we will update you when we get more details about this event.

Pupils going to Beeslack for Transition Days  ( June 15 -17th) need to be dropped there by parents. Details to follow nearer the time. Lasswade pupils will have a bus provided for them on these three days ( same dates as Beeslack)

🚴Bikeability Group 2 – training continues on Monday 16th May – children know who is in this group and  need to bring their bike to school.

🎽 PE  – Tuesday and Thursday – please come to school dressed for PE outdoors. Remember to bring a water bottle for hydration. 

🏠Homework : Spelling

💻Chromebooks – These devices do need to be taken home and charged up for the following school day. In P7, we use Chromebooks daily. Children now have earphones for various uses in class eg. watching tutorials or using the audio function in writing and on very rare occasions (perhaps during Art & Design where it is beneficial to have a relaxed atmosphere) are allowed to listen to music; please note  this is not allowed at any other time during the school day.

📝Poetry Competition – The annual poetry competition is upon us. P7 have been putting their knowledge of figurative language to good use to create poems. One poem will be selected to be put forward in to the school wide competition.

French Friday – There will be a French theme on Friday 20th May. Wear red, white and blue clothes to school if you wish.

📅Calendar of events – The latest  school newsletter should have been received. This has important dates for your diary. P7 also created a calendar in Google Drawings on Friday and added these dates in. There are only  seven weeks left yet still so much to fit in.

❗❗Please keep Tuesday 28th June ( afternoon) free for the P7 Leavers Show! Time to be confirmed soon – please be aware of the hugely busy term we have in school with lots of classes to arrange and timetable for.

❗❗❗Also, please note the new time for school to close on the very final day – on Thursday 30th June, school will now close at 12:25pm and not 3:15pm as originally proposed. 

That’s all for now,

Thank you,

Miss Brunt

Just to keep everyone up to date , all homework and class updates will now be posted on Google Classroom from Monday 16th of May. All the children are familiar with this platform.
