P1 Week Beginning 29.8.22

Hello,

I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Homework is set to start next week and the children will bring it home in their green book bags. If your child has not brought one into school yet, then please send them with it next week. There will be more information about homework next week, when it begins. Please also ensure your child has a small tub labelled with their name to put their words in, thank you.

P.E will be on Wednesday with Miss Simpson and Thursday with Mrs Lynch. Children should bring a P.E kit to school to change into for P.E. It can be a good idea to ensure your child is dressed in clothing which they can independently take off/put on for these days.

Children should also bring a pair of indoor shoes to change into during class time. Please label all items of clothing to help prevent anything going missing. 

This week we are learning the sounds (p, i, n) and the numbers 6 – 10. We have also started learning about some new book characters from our ORT books, to prepare us for when we begin reading.

Assembly on Friday with Mrs Caldwell. 

Reminder – P1 curriculum evening for P1 parents only on Monday 5th September at 5:30pm. 

Thank you,

Miss Lauren Waller

🌟 Primary 2 News and info 29.8.22

This week in P2 we will be continuing our Dinosaur topic, writing Fact files and descriptions.🦖

In numeracy we are looking at place value, H/T/O and how to write 3 digit numbers, counting up in 10’s past 100 and filling in missing numbers in a pattern that goes up/down in 1s, 5s or 10s.🔢

I am rearranging reading groups and although we are doing reading in class, I will not send reading home until next week.  Children will also be given a home learning jotter where home activities should be done.  Please can children bring in their green book bags.📚

We are entering using the atrium door now.  It is essential that children have indoor shoes to leave in school to change in to, especially now that the weather is a bit grimmer.👟

P.E- P.E is Wed and Mon – pupils should leave a PE kit in school, we are doing amazing at changing into our kit/uniform before and after P.E. this is an important life skill promoting independence and good hygiene.🏃‍♂️

There are a few bugs going around, especially a sickness one.  We are continuing to reinforce handwashing and good personal hygiene.  Please remember that if your child has a sickness bug or upset tummy, they should not return to school until 48 hours after the  last episode.  For more info, see here: Health and Safety in schools 👐

MEET THE TEACHER – Tuesday 3.15-3.45pm – I know everyone but feel free to come and say Hi 😊

We are still practicing logging into our chrome books and typing addresses into the address bar, we are building up skills so that when Chromebooks do go home, they are cared for and useful to enhance learning.💻

Thanks, Mrs H

P1 Week Beginning 22.8.22

Hi all,

I would like to wish you all a warm welcome to Primary One. The children and I have had a fabulous few days getting to know one another.

Each week I will update the school website with any news/events which will be happening in P1.

Please return all letters back to school ASAP – if your child has lost any, then please let me know so I can get you another copy.

P.E will be on Wednesday with Miss Simpson and Thursday with Mrs Lynch. Children should bring a P.E kit to school to change into for P.E. It can be a good idea to ensure your child is dressed in clothing which they can independently take off/put on for these days.

If your child has brought a book bag into school, then this has been kept here until homework begins.

Children should also bring a pair of indoor shoes to change into during class time. Please label all items of clothing to help prevent anything going missing. 

P1 are very lucky to have lots of different adults helping them throughout the week! Mrs Tobyn is our learning assistant and she is with us from Tuesday – Friday. On a Monday/Tuesday and Friday, Mrs Kirby joins us and on a Wednesday and Thursday, we have Mrs Tait.

This week, we are learning numbers 1 – 5 and our first set of sounds (s, a, t).

I look forward to working with you this year,

Miss Lauren Waller

🤩 Primary 2 – week beginning 22.8.22

Happy Monday,

Please remember to return the annual data letters, milk letters and flu letters ASAP.

✏️In Literacy we will be recapping writing stories with a beginning, middle and end, with a joining word and capital letters and full stops.  We are also revising key words and books previously read in order to regroup readers for the term. Please return book bags if you have not already done so.

🔢In Numeracy we are identifying numbers to 100, looking back to numbers before, after and in between.  We are also counting to a number off the decade from a random number. e.g. count from 27 to 48  These oral activities would be useful to practise regularly at home.

We have also been practising using this game to find number in between (to 100)

🦕 Our topic is dinosaurs – the children are very excited about this.

Thanks

⭐Welcome to Primary 2 🍎

 

Welcome back to a new school year.  I am excited for what we have already planned for P2.  This week we will be settling back into the school routine but I have handed out a Newsletter today if you need a copy please see below.

I will use the website or paper communication at the moment until we have Google Classroom up and running.  Chromebooks will not be going home initially.

Thank you for all of the lovely, generous gifts at the end of term.  I did pop a message on Seesaw but I wanted to say another thanks.
