P1L – Mrs Cuthbertson (Thursday 7th January 2021)

Good morning everyone,

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and that Santa brought you some lovely surprises. Thank you very much for all the lovely cards and gifts you gave me. I am very, very lucky and appreciate your kindness. I have missed you all during the holidays and am sad that we can’t be back at school just now. Fingers crossed it wont be too long until we can all be together in our school. I am looking forward to our on line learning starting on Monday. Mrs Carey and I will create some fun activities for you to do at home. You have all worked so hard this year so we will build on all the clever things that you can do. ,We will also use Education City, which I know you are all really enjoy. Its very, very icy today so take special care if you are outside. Have a super weekend and take care of you and your family.

Love and Hugs

Happy New Year!

I hope you and your family are well. As we return  this term  to the challenges that lie ahead, please be assured we will work hard to work in partnership with you as you seek to support your  child at home with their learning.

We are sorry not to welcome all our pupils back but I know that our pupils will  do their best to show you hard they work in school at home, doing their daily activities.

From Monday 11th January, 21, our Primary and ECC staff will post daily on GLOW – remember that you can access GLOW without requiring a password. You  just  google ‘Hurlford Primary School Glow page’ to see your child’s class post.

Educationcity and Nessy (P3-P7) can be accessed online. Your child should be able to show you how to do this.

P4-P7 should also know their GLOW passwords so they can access Teams, unfortunately due to national guidance we are not allowed to share these with Parents/Carers/

We would encourage our older pupils to communicate with their teacher via their GLOW email and share their learning with their teacher, where possible.

We recognise that home learning can be very stressful for families, so we would just ask you ‘to do what you can!’

From Thursday 7th Jan, 21, keyworker and vulnerable children will attend   school and the  ECC   from 8.45-2.45pm.

Pupils will be supervised to access remote learning posted by their class teacher. School meals will be available as normal, packed lunches can be brought if you wish.
Please note that there will be a flexible drop off between 8.45-9am. Pupils will dismissed via the main door on the first day and pupils will be able to inform you of arrangements from the Friday. Masks should be worn when dropping off and picking up children.

Thursday 17th December – Santa comes to Hurlford !!

Why not come out into your garden or pavement and wave to Santa as he goes by? If Santa, is not visiting your street, please find a safe place to stand along the route and wave. Please note that Santa and staff will not be able to stop.

It is very important that everyone remembers social distancing and only stand in your family bubble.

 

The route is as follows:

P7 Week beginning 7th December

Hello P7,

I hope you all enjoyed the Christmas lunches today!

Here is a reminder of your writing task for tomorrow, which I spoke to you about in class.  Your task will be to imagine you are a WW2 evacuee and you are writing a letter home to let your family know who you are staying with and how you are.  Talk to someone at home or have a think about the details you might include about your journey to the country and how you have settled in with your host family.  Think about the kind of feelings you would experience and how you would put them into writing.

Home Learning

– Log-on to Nessy at least twice for 15-30minutes.

-Explore the money games on Topmarks and email me to tell me which one you found most helpful.  Money games for kids (topmarks.co.uk)

-Remember to keep track of any acts of kindness for your kindness alphabet.

Let’s have a great week!

Mrs J

P2B – Week beginning 7th December

Hello P2B,

I hope you are all getting excited for Christmas! We have been working very hard and I hope we keep this up until the holidays start. We looking at the last part of our Food and Farm topic this week and going to start some Christmas crafts and activities. Thank you to everyone that brought in the farms. They all look AMAZING! It’s clear you all worked hard and should give yourself a big pat on the back! To look at all your extremely impressive farms please click on the PowerPoint below.

Home learning task

In the lead up to Christmas I thought it would be nice to have a cooking challenge. Last week the class got the cress that they grew home. We talked about some ideas for the cress. Maybe you could make something using the cress. Our thinking task last week, set by the Fairtrade committee was to look at the ingredients and flavours used in gingerbread treats. The class designed a gingerbread man and were given the extra challenge of making gingerbread men and women at home using fairtrade products.

Education city – I have added homework this week called “week beginning 7.12.2020” The activity is a playlive game. This can be played against others in the school or anyone. You answer the questions as best you can in 60 seconds. Remember we are still practising our subtraction so do not worry about the time and try your best! I’ll keep this live so that you can use it as much as you want!

Spelling – we have been looking at the “oy” phoneme this week. Practice your phoneme words and your common words at home. Use the grid below for ideas.

Red – enjoy  royal  annoy  toys  loyal

said  big  could

Green – joy  boy  toys  enjoy 

said  big  could  have

Blue – lip  log  let  leg

the  I  in  it

Have a fantastic week! Feel free to practice our Christmas Party songs at home – Cha cha slide, superman and Hokey Cokey we have practiced so far 🙂

Primary 3 week beginning 7th December

It’s beginning to look, and feel, like Christmas 🙂 and we have a busy week coming up this week.

Christmas lunch is on Tuesday and we have our party on Wednesday afternoon. It’s an exciting week!

Last week we learned about Saint Andrew and why he is Scotland’s patron saint. We also finished off our kilt leg pictures and had a look at some different tartans associated with surnames in our class.

In maths we have been practising number bonds and trying to speed up getting the answers to our facts. We have also looked at fact families and the link between adding and subtracting.

Here is the link for this week’s spelling and home learning tasks. P3 Home Learning 7.12.20

Hope everyone has a great week!

Mrs McMillan 🙂

P4 Week Beginning 7.12.20

Good morning!
Can you believe there’s only 2 weeks left of school until Christmas!? Time has flown by this term.

 

Home Learning Tasks

  • Literacy– Practice your reading books! You’re doing great. Just for fun this week, can you read the story starter and continue the story? It has a Christmas theme and I am looking for good punctuation, amazing adjectives (at least 3-5!) and 2 different connectives. I’d also like you to try and vary the length of your sentences eg some long and some short.
  • Maths– On Friday we spoke about probability and used words such as unlikely, likely, impossible and certain to describe the probability of something happening. Let’s practice some more! Try this game called “The Vile Vendor“. You can google search it by typing in “Vile Vendor Game KS1” or here is the link: http://www.scootle.edu.au/ec/viewing/L118/index.html#
  • IDL– We started to look at our new topic which is all about electricity. We looked back in time at important scientists and focused on Benjamin Franklin. He discovered lightning was electricity. Can you tell someone at home some information about Benjamin Franklin? We also looked at where electricity comes from and know it can be really dangerous. Go to the website “Switched on Kids” and have a go at the electrical safety in your home game. Here is the link to the website: http://www.switchedonkids.org.uk/
