Hi all,
Going forward all class reminders/updates can be found on Google Classroom, alongside the class homework. I will remind the children each week to show you the weekly reminders, alongside any other important information.
Thanks,

Hi all,
This week is ‘Walk to School Week!’ On Tuesday, children can wear their happiest (school-appropriate!) shoes to school. Please remember, that the class do have P.E. this day, so they may wish to bring an extra pair to wear when outside and at P.E.
On Friday, we will be going on a whole school walk to celebrate the end of the week. We will be walking with our P1 Buddies.
French Friday – On Friday, the class will be having a French style breakfast and can wear the colours of the French flag (red, blue and white!) to celebrate this day.
Peer Mediation – Mrs Kirby will begin to train the class to become Peer Mediators when they enter P7. This is when they will use restorative practice to help the children in the playground resolve any problems they may have. Our first sessions are on Monday afternoon and Friday morning.
P.E: Tuesday and Thursday – please come dressed for P.E and bring a water bottle for hydration.
Mandarin on Wednesday with Ms Sun.
Assembly on Friday at 11:30am.
Monday 23rd May – Holiday for pupils and inservice for staff.
We have decided we will not be using Chrome-books on a Friday in class, therefore children will not need to bring them into school on Fridays. However, the expectation is still that they are charged at home and brought to school Mon-Thurs.
Homework
Reading: Children will continue to have reading homework each night. Please encourage your child at least once a week to read aloud as this supports fluency and expression.
Spelling: Words should be written three times in neat, cursive handwriting in their jotter. I am encouraging the children to write in pen, to help them to take care when writing.
Numeracy: This task can be found on Google Classroom.
Please ensure that your child takes care with their spelling homework and completes both their spelling and numeracy homework for Friday. All children can access the homework because they all have a device.
Thanks for your support,
Miss Lauren Waller

EUROQUIZ – Please return the live-streaming consent letters this week. I am also looking for a parent helper to accompany us on this trip, if you are a parent/carer of a child in team (including subs!), then please let me know if you are able to help out on Monday 13th June.
Please remember that children are expected to bring their Chromebook into school every day and it has to be charged at home.
‘Keep the Heid’ – this week the children will be reading for pleasure for at least 6 minutes every day. They can bring in a book from home, if they wish. If you would like to know more about this, then the link is on Google Classroom.

There is an example on the document, please do not support your child with the meanings of the word, it is important this is completed independently.

Hi all,
This week we return back to normal with myself teaching the class again.
This week:
On Tuesday, we will have a science morning with myself and Mrs Cumming. The class will be learning about electricity and electric circuits. It should be great fun.
P.E: Tuesday and Thursday – please come dressed for P.E and bring a water bottle for hydration.
Mandarin on Wednesday with Ms Sun.
The first 10 children took part in gardening last week and there will be another ten this Wednesday afternoon and next. All children will have the chance to take part.
Please remember that children are expected to bring their Chromebook into school every day and it has to be charged at home.
We will begin to use twitter more often to share pictures of our learning. Be sure to give our twitter page a follow to keep up to date with everything! https://twitter.com/loanheadps
Homework:
Spelling: Words should be written three times in neat, cursive handwriting in their jotter, and then there is a task to complete in their jotters too. All information is on Google Classroom.
Titanic Pupil Talk: For the next two weeks, children should work on producing a solo talk to present to the class, all about our new topic, The Titanic. A letter containing the details on this can be found on Google Classroom. I have also created a ‘drop box’ where children can upload any digital resources they may have for it (powerpoint, images etc.), as this will be easier to access on the day.
Just a reminder that ALL children are expected to hand in their homework on FRIDAY of each week. Homework should be neat and legible.
Thank you,

Hello,
It was such a wonderful sight on Friday to see so many children dressed in blue and yellow! Thank you SO much to everyone for your generous donations, we will have the final total of how much we raised later on in the week!
It is Ms Gault’s final week and she will be missed lots by us all! The children have really enjoyed her lessons over the past six weeks and we wish her all the best with the future.
The children took their Chrome-books home last week and they must bring them to school everyday. If they do not, then the office will phone home to ensure it is dropped off, so the children do not miss out on any learning. It is important that the children charge it at home and take care of it.
This week:
P.E: Tuesday and Thursday – please come dressed for P.E and bring a water bottle for hydration.
Mandarin on Wednesday with Ms Sun.
Friday 18th – Bike Workshop – 12 -2pm Bring bikes to be checked over and minor repairs done if possible.
On Wednesday some of the children will be involved in some gardening in the school grounds under the guidance of some parent helpers.
Homework:
Spelling: Words should be written three times in neat, cursive handwriting in their jotter, and then there is a task to complete on Google Classroom.
Numeracy: There is a revision task of multiples and factors on Google Classroom.
ALL children can complete their homework as they are now taking their chrome books home, and homework is due in on FRIDAY each week.
Thank you,
