Calling all parents of Primary 1 to Primary 3 children.  We would like your feedback on our use of Learning Journals in school.  Click the following link to access the  short questionnaire.  Your views are greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance for your time.

Mrs Johnstone

We have been really enjoying learning British Sign Language. Here we are signing 2 songs. We hope you are impressed.

Mrs Johnstone’s  Primary 1A’s have now achieved their Bronze Award in Wider Achievements.

Well done!😃⭐️

They will all now be working on their Silver award, which will require some support from home. Details of fortnightly targets are on the P1A Wider Achievement tab within the class information area.

We are delighted with the response to the use of Learning Journals by parents/carers. The children really enjoy uploading their work to share.

Our approach to using this reporting format is…

• 2 stories will be uploaded each week – this is an overview of what has been happening in class. Therefore this may not be your child’s individual work.
• 1 observation of your child’s own work will be uploaded once in a three week rota as the classes are set in small focus groups to have that detailed focus time. Therefore every 3 weeks your child will have a personal observation uploaded. This will be on the subject of literacy – writing, as we are aiming to raise attainment in this particular area through our school improvement plan.

Parental Contributions

• Please use the parental contributions area to share learning from home, be it learning to tie shoe laces, baking a cake and following the recipe, certificates for dancing, gymnastics, karate etc. Anything that shares the fantastic learning opportunities in the home and beyond. We want to know and these can then support with their Wider Achievements awards.

Adding more parents/carers/family members to be able to view your child’s profile is an option that is available. If you wish others in your family to have this access, please complete the contact form below.

Thank you, Mrs Johnstone

If any new P1 parents/carers wish an emailed copy of your child’s photograph from their first day at school.

Please email me at the address below with your child’s name and I will send a photo over.

Please find attached above, our information story for the children who are moving into Primary 1 in August.  This is a story that can be read with the children a number of times from now until August to help support them with the new routines and become familiar with adults they will meet.

Please point any ECC child’s parents towards this post if you know of anyone who has a child starting P1 in August.

Much appreciated

Mrs Johnstone
