P5 Week Beginning 14/03/22

Dear Parents and Carers.

Thank you all for your contributions for the Ukraine collection. We will know the final amount later this week but on Friday at assembly it was just over £5oo – a wonderful amount to raise!

Last week we enjoyed learning about the skeleton, the brain and the lungs. This was delivered live from the Glasgow Science Centre. The children were all practising their new skill of ‘sketchnoting’ whilst watching these live sessions. Sketchnoting is a method of drawing and writing to take notes to help with learning.

Homework: Reading and spelling please see reading books and homework jotter. Also please continue to work on times tables with your child.

Now that Chromebooks are coming home can I please ask you to remind your child to charge it when necessary and to ensure that they are brought to school every day. All children have been given guidance about transporting their Chromebooks.

Bike Workshop

On Friday 18th March (12.00pm – 2.00pm)   all children can bring their bikes to school and have them checked over for safety and possibly some minor repairs undertaken.

OUTDOOR LEARNING

On Monday 21st and Monday 28th March P5 will be doing outdoor learning led by Miss Simpson. a letter has been sent home today about this. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately and has wellington boots on. Also please send a change of clothes.

As always, if you have any questions then please get in touch.

Kind regards,

Lisa Cumming                                                     l.cumming@midlothian.education
