Calside Primary School, Dumfries

Calside Superstars

Despite the ongoing Covid restrictions, our children have continued to be very Busy Bees. There has been lots of great learning going on in class: please remember that you can see what we have been up to on our Class Teams.  An overview of this term’s learning is always available on the Class Team so you know what your child is learning, and you can then support at home. Homework can also be found on Teams: there are a few impending deadlines for Topic Homework so you may wish to look at these with your child over the February break. You may also want to visit a castle, a battle site or a museum such as the Devil’s Porridge.

 

Scots Poetry Festival
A huge well done to all those children who learned their poems: we know it isn’t easy, and some of the poems are very tricky! We had a very enjoyable week listening to them all. The winners’ performances can be found on Teams for you to view. The winners were:

P1: Sophie Adamson, Hannah Hogg, Ollie Service and Eden Windsor
P1/2: Ethan Bruce, Adam McIntosh and Lewis Weir
P2: Natalie Little, Olivia Loughran and Roddy MacBeth
P3: Daniel Gray, Alice Kirkpatrick and David Rogerson
P4: Olly Bisset, Archie Hamilton and Olivia Rice
P5: Harris Cunliffe, Sophie Little, Ruairidh Tennant
P6: Josie Borland and Harry Service
P6/7: Megan Borland, Isaac Ishmael and Callum McCaulay
P7: Adam McNay

Burns Supper
P6 and P7 held their Burns Supper within their bubble: some excellent toasts and speeches. Special mentions go to Summer Anderson, Megan Borland, Joe Burnie, Natalie Little, Archie McHattie, Malachi Samuels and Harry Service.

Teams
We continue to use Teams as the main class noticeboard, and we share class messages on these as well as our learning activities. We are very conscious that you have not been able to be in school to celebrate the learning with us, and so we try to share as much as we can. If you have any suggestions for items you would like to see on Teams, we would love to hear them.

Wider Achievements
All the activities that the children get up to both in and out of school are a huge part of their achievements and progress along their learning journey. They develop vital skills at clubs or at home such as teamwork, following instructions or having a go at something they are nervous about. Please remember to let us know about these achievements via Teams or email: your child’s interests and strengths make them who they are. Some of the wider achievements so far this term can be found in the February newsletter.
