I can’t believe we are at the last Wednesday check in before the summer holidays!

This week I have been in school  getting lots of things ready in my new classroom for next year. It feels sad being in school without you all there and I miss all the buzz and fun that we all have together in Fenwick Primary.

I hope you all got a chance to see the Virtual Prize Giving Ceremony. 

You can view this here.

Well done to every single one of you in Primary 3/4  for achieving the 125 Community Cup for all of your achievements and community spirit in lockdown ! It really has been a difficult time and I am proud of you all!

Well done to Ellis for achieving  the Primary 3 Endeavour Award and to Susan for achieving the Primary 4 Endeavour Award.

I have been  doing some work in my garden last week  and after power washing my decking I oiled it all and I am really pleased with the finished results.  Unfortunately it has rained every day since I have done that , but on Tuesday evening I managed a quick cup of tea before the rain started again!

I have been challenging myself to walk 20,000 steps each day so I have been walking early in the morning and late in the evening. Tonight when I was out for a walk with Olive a young fox sat and watched us from the garden. He looked very nosy and wanted to play with Olive. She was not interested and just wanted to chase her ball.

Mr Ross and I  collected lots of tree stumps from Greenbank Gardens beside where we live. We spoke to the gardener who had been chopping lots of trees down in the woods and he said we could take as many as we could carry. We will chop them up for our wood burner in the winter. It was heavy work, Olive helped us by sniffing them a lot! Friday will be the last day for our lovely Miss Jaffrey. She is off to University in August to train to be a primary teacher. We wish her lots of luck. I have sent her a wee card and a present from all of us in the class. I hope she shares a little picture of it with you when it arrives!

I hope you all have a lovely week in the sunshine and remember to keep playing Sumdog whenever you can !

I will post our final Friday feedback and share the Sumdog results with you all then.

Good morning boys and girls,

Only one more week of school before the start of the summer holidays. The staff have all been busy this week getting things organised for our last week of term. Keep your eye on our blog for more news!

I have been in school this week getting things organised for our return in August. It felt very strange at first being in the building but it felt good to be back in our lovely wee school!So today I will have a look at my emails and your blogs to see what you have been doing while I have been in Fenwick Primary.

At home I have enjoyed meeting up with some of my friends for a cup of tea in their garden and a blether. My dad came and had a BBQ with us in our back garden and it was lovely to spend time with him.   I am still doing lots of walking , last night the bats were swooping around our heads as we were walking past the woods behind our house. There have been some beautiful sunsets t his week.

Don’t forget that the East Ayrshire Sumdog Contest starts this Friday! Good luck Primary 3/4!

Keep sending me your messages and keep me up to date with all the things you have been doing.

Take care

Mrs Ross

Good morning boys and girls,

I hope you are all safe and well. It has been so long since we were all together in school and I still miss you all very much.  It is very important to be looking after your health and well being just now and just spend time on  home learning whenever you can.

I am getting more used to working from home and seeing and chatting to  the Fenwick staff on our virtual meetings. I hope you enjoy some of the activities that I plan for you each week. It really is lovely when I see all the things you have been doing.

WE are still  going for lots of big long walks around our local area, sometimes we all go together. We talk about all the things we are looking forward to doing when things get back to a bit more normal. The boys  have all agreed that they cant wait to go and get their hair cut (not by me!) .

Euan has signed for a new football team and has lots of virtual training sessions to complete and I have been joining in with his 10 minute HIIT sessions each day. I am getting better  but it is hard to keep up with Euan! I have a very red face when I’m finished!

Fraser and Murray have been enjoying going out on their bikes together and have cycled to the windfarm twice this week.

Eilidh had a virtual Guide Camp this weekend and I had great fun helping her with lots of the activities. I used to love going on guide camp when I was younger and I was a Brown Owl for lots of years so it reminded me of all the songs I used to sing and games we played. She has achieved her bronze Guide a ward and is working towards her silver award now.

I saw the other  Mrs Ross this week too and she said to say hello to you all! She misses visiting us and helping out on trips and in class.

I hope you have all had a good week so far. I will post feedback on all the work that you send me and I will put  the Sumdog Class Contest on the blog on Friday.

Keep smiling and having fun at home!

Good morning Primary 3/4,

thank you to everyone who has replied to my check in email, it has been lovely to hear from you.

I enjoyed my holiday Monday and spent time with my family at home. We even had a carry out meal delivered as a treat. It was delicious!

I received a wee random act of kindness gift through my letterbox this week from one of the lovely teachers at Fenwick Primary. It put a big smile on my face and made me feel loved.  #bekind.

Eilidh has been spending her weekend baking. She has now perfected banana loaf and makes one every week for her grandpa. Do you remember we made banana loaf in class together?

Today is my big brother’s 50th birthday (and I know that he shares his birthday with 2 boys in our class!) We are disappointed that we can’t celebrate with all our family together. I have ordered a special afternoon tea to be delivered to him with sandwiches and cakes. We are going to have a virtual family party tonight to celebrate with him. 

I have been trying hard to keep fit and healthy during lockdown and I have a new fitbit that is helping me to get outside and  do lots of steps every day. I have been trying to eat lots of healthy, colourful food during the day too. This is making me feel much happier and in a positive mood .

Stay safe and healthy everyone and let me know what you have been doing.
