We are starting to prepare for the new Primary 1 pupils who will be due to start school in August. Normally at this time, we would be having transition events for the children to visit the school and meet the staff but unfortunately this won’t happen this year. What we would like to do is put together a short video for the new Primary 1 pupils and would like your help with this.

We are looking to gather video clips of the current Primary 1 pupils sharing what their favourite things about school are. The video clips should be around 10 seconds in length but no longer than 15 seconds. Clips can be uploaded to your child’s Teams page or emailed to lynn.paul@eastayrshire.org.uk The clips will then be put into the video and this will be shared on our school website so please only send in a video of your child if you are happy for them to be included in this. All videos should be sent in by Friday 29^th May 2020.

If you are in contact with any other Primary 1 parents, could you please share this with them as I would like as many pupils involved as possible.

If you have any questions about this, please email me at the address above.

Many thanks for your support.

Miss Paul

A few of my pupils got new bikes and one was asking how to clean his bike and what to use so I made a wee video.
