Please sing our Nursery Rhyme of the week with your child at home. Singing regular nursery rhymes with your child aids their phonological awareness which aids your child’s reading and spelling skills when they go to School.
Please click on the link above for Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star words. Please highlight to your child the words within Twinkle, Twinkle that rhyme.
Our new right of the month is ◊Article 7◊ and what a very important one it is!
“You have the right to a name, and this should be officially recognised by the Government. You have the right to a nationality (to belong to a country).”
We will be learning a lot this coming month about the importance of Article 7.
Why not share your learning with someone at home?
The RRS school group!

Just a reminder that we would be very grateful for any donations of outdoor toys you have finished with, to supplement our playground equipment. Please look and see if you have anything you have finished with and are willing to donate, which is still in a good condition. Also, before we spend school money to supplement our wet day boxes, we would like to ask if there are any indoor games or toys you have finished with which are in good condition,to supplement our wet day boxes which are in every class. Thank you very much for your help. Mrs. McLaughland
Remember this relates to our Rights Respecting Schools and an important Article of the UNCRC:-
Article 31:- You have the right to play and relax by doing things like sport, music and drama.
Mrs Cotton would like to say a big thank you to everyone who donated supermarket items. The role play area is now up and running and the children are very eager to explore various roles. We don’t need anymore supermarket items as we have our supermarket fully stocked up with goodies and plenty of items left to replenish as we go. We would still however welcome donations of trollies or baskets only. Thank you very much for all your help and support, it is greatly appreciated.
Miss Clark is hoping to make up story bags and is looking for donations of…..
-Small bears looking for around 10.
-Hungry Caterpillar soft toy and story book.
– Mouse, Owl, Snake and Fox soft toy
-For the 3 bears story I’m looking for 3 bears in big, medium and small size. (No bigger than an A4 piece of paper for the large bear.
I would like to thank everyone for the donations received so far this is very much appreciated. I continue to thank you for your support as these story bags will be used as a home link project to support communication and language development.
Please have a look at our communication board as it has some information on rhyming such as top tips pictured above and our Nursery rhyme of the week which is Hickory, Dickory Dock. Please encourage your child to use their imagination to make up rhyming words as this aids your child’s prediction skills. Awareness of Rhyming assists your child’s knowledge of words, syllables, sounds and aids their ability to read and spell at a later stage. Please point out rhyming words within books and songs as this is of great benefit to your child.
We are focusing on rhyming words still so are carrying this Nursery Rhyme forward for another week. Please have a look on the communication board or the blog for more information regarding the importance of raising your child’s awareness of Rhyming words.
Tomorrow the ECC will be having a Burns supper. Children can come wearing anything tartan if they wish. Our snack will be haggis, neeps and tatties. Please note our Haggis is vegetarian.
