Happy New Year! I hope that you all had an enjoyable time over the holiday. Thank you for all the lovely gifts I received, they were very much appreciated.

Upcoming Events in January

Pupils will be asked to read, learn and recite a Scots poem; either by Robert Burns or a contemporary Scottish poet. Two pupils will be chosen to recite their poem at a special assembly on Friday 24^th January.

• Indoor Athletics Competition – Some pupils in P6 have been selected to compete in Athletics on Tuesday 14th January. It is reminded that the consent forms and payment must be returned to school in order to attend.

Homework

Spellings have been set for Friday 10th January. These are in the red homework jotters.

On Wednesday, a choice of Scottish poem will be sent home to learn and then recite in class. Props and acting as part of the recital are welcomed!

This task is due to be completed by Wednesday 22nd January.

Thanks for your support,

Hello everyone, welcome back! I hope you all had a restful winter break.

Starting this Thursday, P3 will be getting rugby lessons in school time in addition to normal PE, so please make sure that your child has the right kit for this!

As we are approaching Burn’s night, I have sent home copies of three poems for your child to pick from for poetry recital. We went over these in class today, however if there are any further questions about pronunciation please get in touch! Poems will be recited the week beginning 20/1, and rehearsal of your child’s chosen poem will be this week’s reading homework. Reading book work will resume next week.

This week’s spelling homework is practice of the /ee/ pattern. The words are as follows:

1. arm

2. shark

3. seen

4. three

5. seat

6. cream

7. please

8. teenager

9. eleven

10. twelve

Finally, today we welcomed Mrs Sharpe to Primary 3 where she will be working as our new Learning Assistant! Mrs Sharpe will be in our class Mondays through to Fridays.

Best wishes (and a happy new year)

Hello everyone,

Thank you so much for the gifts and cards I received this week. I feel very flattered by the thought put into them and I know they will all go to good use over the next two weeks!

You have all been very supportive and helpful in 2019 so I would also like to thank you for that. Primary 3 are a wonderful class, and totally deserve the break for all their hard work in school. I hope you all enjoy the winter break and I shall see you in 2020 for more!

Best wishes,

Mr McGaff 🙂
