WEEK 2 Overview

This weeks right of the fortnight is: Article 17-

“Every child has the right to think what they want and to practise their religion, as long as they are not stopping other people from enjoying their rights!”

Have a look below at P6-7 explaining the right:

Unfortunately we can’t complete Rich Tasks like we normally do at NCPS. So this year P6-7 have been chosen as the lucky class to continue with obtaining our Rights Respecting Schools award. They have created their own school logo, new right of the fortnight sheet and new right cards. The video below highlights our new ideas as well as describing the right of the fortnight. We will post a new video every 2 weeks to highlight the new right!

We had an amazing day yesterday seeing some of our P7’s and giving them their hoodies. Again, a huge thank you to our Parent Council who made this all possible with their generosity.

Mr Hastings

Hello my eco warriors! I hope you are all well!

When we finished up in March the eco group had started to plan ‘Waste Week’. As we missed out in school I have some activities for you to complete at home if you would like to. Once again anything you do will help our Green flag application so I would be very grateful if you could give it a go and send me your findings.

Today’s activities focus on energy. They will help you to understand ways we waste energy in our homes and what we can do to save energy.

This first activity is suitable for P1-7

This second activity might be a bit tricker for P1-3 so they would need the support of a grown up. P4-7 should manage.

If you complete any of these then please send your teacher or myself a picture of your work.

I hope you enjoy completing these missions and look out for more!

Our staff would like to share a quick message with all our families and pupils. We hope this video brightens up your day.

Mr Hastings

To support our children and families during the upcoming weeks we have sent children home with Learning Packs filled with activities and access to online resources to support their learning.

In addition to this, we will be using our class blogs within the school website to upload materials and share information with you all.

To access your child’s class blog, select the menu tab as shown below…

Select your child’s class from the drop down menu…

Within their class page, click on the live link to take you to their class blog…

Here you will see the feed of posts from the class, uploaded by their class teacher…

Within the blog, there are further pages, one of which is a ‘HOMEWORK’ tab. The class teacher will upload information and tasks here if the closure of school is prolonged…

In addition to the Class Blogs, we have also been very fortunate to receive a wealth of resources to support our learners in the event of school closure. Please select the ‘Home Learning’ tab found in the main menu…

Within this page there are a wealth of resources, sorted by level and curricular area. We hope these will be of use to our children in a spell of absence from school…

Not one to miss out on the blogging fun, Mrs Bradford, our Home Link Worker, has her own page within our school website. Her page can be accessed as shown below, within the Parent Zone tab of the main menu…

Here, Mrs Bradford will post useful links and contact information for any families needing support during the school closure period…

Parents/Carers,

If you wish to contact us during the spell of School Closure, please find our Senior Management Team’s email addresses below, should you need advice/support in the coming weeks.

Our School App

Over the coming weeks, we will be using our school app as the primary means of communication with our parents/carers. Please follow the instructions below to ensure you have downloaded it to your device.

To download your school app, search for School App for Parents in the Apple or Google Play app store.

It should be the first search result, but if you’re unsure see the correct logo below! Alternatively, you can scan the QR code below.

Once you’ve found the app, just press download (all downloads of the app are completely free!) Once the app has finished downloading, open it and type in the name of your school/nursery and press ‘Select’. You may be prompted to type in a username and PIN, if you are unsure what this is contact us.
