Comic Relief Day Friday 19th March
The House Captains have been planning ideas for Comic Relief day which is Friday 19th March. They have designed a bingo board challenge for the children to complete during the week beginning 15th March in the run up to Comic Relief Day.
The House Captains would like people to write/draw their favourite joke and place it in their window to share a smile. We will finish off the challenge on Friday with a Dance-a-thon for all the children in the primary and ECC to join in with. This will take place in the playground (weather permitting).
The share a smile poster and the bingo boards are added as links to this post. A suggested donation of 50p can be brought to school on Friday 19th March.

Assembly 12th March Respect and Feeling Included
Here is this week’s assembly. Our theme this week is Respect and Feeling Included.
Pirate ship home learning
Just to clarify our pirate ship home school task. This is a bit of fun for you and your child. A wee project for you to work on together. There is no rush to send them to school as we shall not be testing them till the last week of this term. The question is can the ships sail on the water? How good is your design? Mrs Forsyth is also trying to make one at home with her lolly sticks and wine corks.
W e have had a couple in school already but you have plenty of time so enjoy. Here is a sneaky peek at Jaxon’s. Wow!
I think I might have to go back to the design stage!!
P1 Car Safety Fun
Primary 1 had fun this afternoon learning all about car safety. Leading on from our whole school JRSO competition, P1 explored the importance of using car seats to travel safely. They then enjoyed drawing their own maps, creating their own textured traffic lights and building model cars. As part of their learning this afternoon P1 were also reading numbers on a number line whilst investigated how far toy cars travelled. Our story this afternoon came from the Road Safety Scotland website and can be read again at home by following the link below. Within the website you will also find lots of other road safety activities as well as parental information on the safe use of car seats.
Great work P1. I loved spending the afternoon with you today.

P1 Home readers on Oxford Owl
We are excited to be trialling, on line, our Read Write Inc home readers . Some of you may remember that during lockdown we used the oxford owl free ebooks to keep our reading skills progressing. We now have access to all our read write books through the Oxford Owl Read Write Inc e- library. This is not meant to replace reading books but ensures a safer environment during these covid times and also helps us with the expenses of replacing lost or damaged copies. I shall assign a book to the children after the third read in class.
Tomorrow the children will be given their personal log ins. Please note these are different from the ones used during remote learning.
It is really important that the children are reading at home every night. 5 or 10 minutes is all that is usually required and of course a wee practise at their phonics.
We are so happy to have them back in class with us and amazed at how well they have adjusted.
