Hello parents and carers,

It is coming up to that festive time of year again and the school is slowly being transformed into a winter wonderland for the Christmas Fair.

Just a reminder that the lower atrium, P1-4, are collecting items for their Christmas Eve/The Night before Christmas hamper for the Christmas Fair. Any donations are gratefully received.

We are also looking for anyone who would be able to give us a helping hand with the Christmas Fair toy stall on Friday from 12:30pm – 2pm. Please do let us know if you would be interested in helping out!

Thank you,

Miss Kristel Maley and Mrs Lisa Cumming

Hi all,

Just a reminder that the lower atrium, P1-4, are collecting items for their Christmas Eve/The Night before Christmas hamper for the Christmas Fair. In addition to this, P1/2 are also looking for anyone who would be able to give us a helping hand with the toy stall on Friday from 12:30pm – 2pm. Please do let me know if you would be interested in helping out!

Thanks,

Miss Lauren Waller

Homework for this week:

Reading: Please see the blue reading record book and continue to help your child learn the words in their word box and use the letters to practice creating 3 letter words.

Phonics: We are not learning any new sounds this week but we are recapping the ones we have learned so far. To help with this we will be sending home worksheets which either focus on the phonics sounds or are related to your child’s reading book. Please help your child to complete these.

Newspapers – As part of the run up to Christmas each class has been asked to create a crafty christmas tree. We are considering making a 3D tree from recycled newspaper. If you have any newspapers which you could donate to this we would really appreciate it if you could send them in.

We would just like to say a huge thank you for helping your child to prepare for this years nativity. We are delighted to see that the children with speaking parts have been learning their lines at home and that the whole class are trying their best to learn the songs and their roles within the play.

Hi all,

This week:

Spelling – as normal; homework to be completed for next Monday.

Reading – Children are working very well with their reading journal. Everyone is now working on Task 3. The children got some personalisation and choice here and were asked to choose three question types to work on with their book. We went over this again last week and children seemed happy with their question choices.

PE – Can children just have their kit in all week please as our normal Thursday slot is taken with other things this week so I’ll find a slot in the timetable elsewhere to fit in PE. Tuesday PE remains unchanged. We have finished our netball sessions and will move onto basketball.

Indoor shoes – can you ask your child if he/she has their indoor shoes at school. If not, can they please bring a pair ASAP as the floors and carpets are getting very muddy!

Community Police Officer – PC Ian Black will visit P6 on Wednesday morning to chat about staying safe online.

P3-7 Christmas Concert – all  children who asked for an acting part have been given their roles and lines. We need to sort out costumes but we will try to source as much from school as possible. However, children may have to provide some of the costume themselves. Watch this space!

Christmas Fair –  Friday 30^th November from 12:30pm. Stalls include: toys and books, home baking, tombola, hamper raffle, crafts, café, Santa’s Grotto and much, much more! We are still looking for more Fair Trade items for our P5-7 hamper. Thanks so much to those who have already handed items in.

Thanks for your support,

Miss S Brunt
