A huge thank to all those who made it along to the Christmas Fair, it was a roaring success! P4 sold all of their scallop shell, chocolate gifts, contributing a great deal to the school funds. Thank you!

This Week’s Homework (due Friday 6th December)

Date
Posted by

Hello everyone,

I have decided to stop setting spelling homework for the rest of the term, as the intensity of work in class will be reducing over the next three weeks. However, if you do wish to practice spelling with your child, I would recommend practicing the /ai/ pattern with them:

  1. next
  2. quit
  3. make
  4. pay
  5. main
  6. clay
  7. waist
  8. rainstorm
  9. half
  10. quarter

For reading, could you try and read half of the book for Wednesday, and finish books for Friday and return them that day. I will make a decision closer to the weekend about whether I think we have the energy to continue reading homework next week!

Thanks a lot,

Mr McGaff

P2 Homework w.b. 2.12.19

It was lovely to see so many of you at the Christmas fair on Friday afternoon. I can’t believe we only have 3 weeks of the term left, and they are jam packed!

Just a reminder that P1/2 will be performing their Nativity for parents/carers on Monday 9th December @ 2pm. There is a limit of 2 guests per child due to limited space in the hall. Please could children bring in their Christmas jumpers/t-shirts and/or accessories in this week, so we have them for our costume rehearsals on Wed/Thurs. Thank you.

A gentle reminder that the cost of the P1/2 Christmas party is £2 and this should be brought into school in an envelope, clearly labelled with your child’s name. The party is in the afternoon on Tuesday 17th December and Santa will be attending at 2:30pm. Please feel free to join us then for a wonderful photo opportunity!

Primary 1 and 2 are also going to be leading a drumming assembly on the morning of Tuesday 17th December (9:00 – 9:30), you are more than welcome to join us for this!

Tuesday 10th December: Christmas Lunches and Christmas Jumper Day. 

Wednesday 11th December: Christmas Show in school for Nursery – P4. 

Friday 13th December: P2/3 Carol Singing at the local residential home. 

Homework:

Apologises I never sent out the numeracy homework last week, time got the better of me and I forgot!

Reading: Please check your child’s green reading record for the pages to be read. This week we are focusing on summarising the story.

Spelling: This week we are learning the ‘ck’ sound (chick, clock etc.). Spelling lists will contain words with these sounds, alongside tricky words.

Thank you,

Miss Lauren Waller

 

P7 Info W/B 2nd December 2019

Hi all,

Schedule for the week:

Tuesday:

PE

Wednesday:

PE

Independent Study Task – There will be a new numeracy task sent home on Wednesday. However, there are still many numeracy sheets from the week before last to come in. Children should still be practising the fractions and percentages ‘LearnIts’ that Mrs Caldwell sent home. The children know what this is.

Reading – We are reading ‘Goodnight Mr Tom’ in class and completing comprehension tasks based on this story.

Other info:

School Fair – The total raised is yet to be announced but can I say a massive THANK YOU to all my P7 pupils who ably planned and manned their stalls, giving up their own time to do this. I was so impressed by how each and every one conducted themselves. Well done!

Panto– Wed 11th Dec pm – Can pupils make sure they have payment and permission slips completed and handed in ASAP ( paper copy or ParentPay). Many thanks.

Concert costumes – P3 to 7 are practising for a concert performance of the Christmas play ‘Silent Night’. Children need to provide their own costume where possible.

  • Mice – Mice masks will be made in school and I’ve asked the children to consult and co-ordinate with each other to decide on what else to wear!
  • Villagers – The role of a Villager just needs a hat, scarf, gloves over dress down clothes. I think the children will be far too hot if they wear a coat!
  • Narrators – Christmas jumpers, if possible.

The two lead roles know what they are wearing.

Please do not buy anything new for this concert  – let me know if you are stuck and we’ll see if we can source an outfit from somewhere.  S.Brunt@mgfl.net
