Class Organisation Session 20/21

Leave a comment

I am aware that everyone is keen to know pupil classes for next year and we are now able to share this information with you.

We are saying goodbye to two long serving members of staff next week. Mrs Dunlop and Mrs Graham are both leaving us and moving to new positions within other schools. We wish them both well in their new posts.

As a result, Mrs Campbell will now be joining us to teach P6/7 until this vacancy is filled on a permanent basis. Along with Mrs Campbell we welcome Miss Holman and Miss Morrison to the team.

You will receive an email/group call containing information about your son/daughter’s class teacher(s) for next session in due course.

Later in the week, a second email/group call will follow containing information whether your son/daughter has been placed in group 1 or group 2 should the blended learning/contingency model 2-2-1 by required.

Classes and staffing for next session

P1 Mrs Fitzsimmons

P1/2 Miss Holman and Mrs Howie

P2/3 Mrs McLean

P3 Miss Kirkpatrick and Mrs Stephenson

P4 Mrs Anderson

P4/5 Miss Morrison and Mrs J McLean

P5 Mrs Dyson

Primary 3/4 pupils have been doing some fantastic learning about a country of their choice. They have been researching traditional food for their chosen countries and have prepared some super themed meals.

Niall’s French meal:

   

Rory’s meal from Madagascar

Freya’s American meal:

Primary 1 do like sharing their home leaning with Mrs Fitzsimmons.

P3  and P3/4 have picked different countries to learn about this week. They also created a menu and cooked a meal for families from their chosen country.

2: One Planet Picnic

As an end of term treat, why not plan a socially distanced ‘One Planet Picnic’:

What is a One Planet Picnic? What is different about a One Planet Picnic?

  • It’s a picnic that is good for you and good for the planet. That means: Choose as many ingredients as you can that are local and seasonal, organically grown or ethically traded.
  • Reduce food waste and packaging waste.

Why hold a One Planet Picnic? There are many reasons. Here are some we can think of:

  • It’s a fun way to get to know some of the great foods and places local to you. Your money goes into the local economy, helping local people and businesses.
  • You will begin to recognise and enjoy foods that are better for the environment. You will reduce packaging and food waste. You can build relationships with friends, family, colleagues and neighbours.

If you would like more background information from Eco Schools, you can click on the link below for more information. However, remember to carry out your picnic according to the most recent guidance from the Scottish Government in relation to which Phase of the Route map we are in at the time of your picnic.

Please do send a photograph of your picnic!
