Good morning Primary 3/4,

I am enjoying seeing your e-portfolios and reading your emails to me.  I have seen lots of your Thankful Thursday comments and they have put a smile on my face 🙂 . I was also very excited to have a FaceTime call with Mrs Conetta and see her beautiful new baby girl , Grace.

We have been out walking around our local area and  over our local golf course. They have allowed locals access as long as we stay away from the greens and the bunkers– remember Miss Jaffrey was teaching us  about these different golf course areas ? We have seen some beautiful sunsets too, dusk is my favourite part of the day.

Eilidh has been attending her Guides on Zoom. She found it a bit strange at first but she is getting more used to it now. They had a chocolate quiz this week which she was very good at!

Mr Ross and I  have a zoom dinner party with our friends who live in London every Friday night. We have enjoyed  this so much, and seeing them every week that we have decided to keep doing this even after lockdown has ended. Here is some of the delicious food that Mr Ross made last week.

We have all been playing this new game as a wee challenge . It is called Konpira Fune Fune.  . It is good fun  and makes your brain think fast ! Euan beat me tonight in our family challenge , can you work out what the rules are? Maybe you could give it a go with your family . Here is a video of us playing .

 

I hope you are all safe and well and finding time to play, rest and relax with your family.

Mrs Ross 🙂

Hi Primary 3/4 ,

I hope you are all well and keeping busy. It feels like so long ago that we were all together in school.

 

I have been helping my children with their school work and last week I was working in Galston Primary School for the day with some of the boys and girls around East Ayrshire including some children from Fenwick Primary.

 

We have been having lots of fun challenges in our garden  while the sun was shining ☀ 

Euan has been painting his bedroom this week and I put up his new blind and I had to learn a new skill to do this … drilling ! We are very pleased with our hard work though. I will let you see next week the finished results!

I have also been learning some new hairdressing skills and I have given Euan, Fraser and Mr Ross a haircut ( Murray has not been brave enough yet). No photographs to show you though!

Each week I still have meetings with the teachers and we have planned some exciting activities for you all over the coming weeks ! Watch this space ! ( and Twitter)

Keep safe and well boys and girls. I can’t wait to see you all again because I am missing you! Remember you can post your updates on your e-portfolio or on our class blog in the comments.

Hi Primary 3/4 ,

I hope you are all well and  had some time to relax and enjoy the spring sunshine in the holidays.

I enjoyed time with my family.  We  had fun decorating eggs, eating lots of chocolate, gardening, having barbecues, zoom parties with our friends, bike rides and dog walks with Olive.

Did you see the Supermoon on the 7th April? It was huge and very bright in the sky. Eilidh and I went for a walk late in the evening to see it  and took some spooky photos.

I am enjoying looking at your blogs and reading about what you have been doing .  I have been checking Sumdog, Education City and Giglets to see what work you have been trying and some of you have managed to upload your work to your blog or you have emailed it to me or commented on our blog to let me see – well done. It is all very different though and  I am missing seeing you all and being together in school.

The staff  have been keeping in touch through WhatsApp and Zoom calls, we are getting better at Zooming together!  I have been looking for different activities that you will enjoy working on at home and that will challenge you and also consolidate all the things we have been learning in school.

Euan, Fraser, Eilidh and Murray have been working hard to complete all their High School work and we have been following our P3/4 class timetable : Mindful Mondays, Tricky Word Tuesdays, Work It Out Wednesdays, Thankful Thursdays and Fit for Fridays!They think it’s good fun!

 Please let me know if you need help with anything.

Take care and be kind 🙂

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all well and getting used to learning from home.

I have been  busy checking what games you have been enjoying in Education City and Sumdog and having a wee look at the books you have been reading on Giglets. The teachers have been meeting each other on  Zoom and keeping in touch to make plans for our classes.

I have been spending lots of time with my own family and helping them to stick to their timetable of school work and play. We have been on walks with Olive, joining Joe Wicks for some PE, bike rides around our local area, making pancakes and tidying up our garden.  We have played lots of family board games and cards and we have even been playing Kahoot! Eilidh and Murray love going for a late night walk just before it gets too dark.

Eilidh organised a party in our house on Saturday night and we all had to go to her bedroom for a scavenger hunt and to play games . We had lots of fun !

We have a rainbow in our window and we are phoning our neighbours to check in on them and delivering food and meals to my elderly dad. Today we are all going to write letters to our friends and family who live far away.

I am looking forward to seeing all the things you have been doing with your families.  Remember you can upload photos to your blog and write what you have been doing.

I am thinking about you all and missing you  and I can’t wait to see you all again soon! 🌈

from Mrs Ross 😃
