Merry Christmas to all our P1R families! We hope you have a happy, safe and relaxing Christmas holiday. Look forward to being back together on Monday 5th January 😊 thanks for your continued support! Miss Ronald and Miss Whiteford

We loved going Christmas shopping this week. We can’t wait to give our presents to our families 😊 9 sleeps to go!

And just like that the 2025 nativity season comes to a close! Our learners were amazing and we are so proud of them – some even proclaimed Tuesday to be “the best day ever” 😊

Please find below individual nativity pictures for all our learners with blog permissions. Any issues, just let me know.

Thanks, as always, for your continued support!

P1 did so well in their afternoon nativity performance today! We are so proud of them.

If children want to bring a snack for after their evening performance, then please provide a small snack for them to enjoy with a Christmas movie.

Any questions, catch us at the door! Thanks,

Miss Ronald and Miss Barrett

P1 PARENTS/CARERS ONLY

For our nativity, can all P1 children please bring in a white t-shirt/polo shirt and black leggings/shorts by Monday 8th Dec.  Please put this in a plastic bag with their name written on it.  Children will be able to change into their performance outfits, from their school uniform, on performance days. Please speak to your class teacher if there are any issues.

Thanks!

Our P1 photos go on sale tomorrow. Get to the shops quickly and bag your Kilmarnock Standard, as they always go fast!

Just a gentle reminder that P1R will be visiting Stewarton Library this Thursday 20th November for our Bookbug Session    We’re really looking forward to it!

Thanks, Miss Ronald

This week P1 were learning through the story Goldilocks and tasted some porridge. Some thought it was “just right,”and a few brave tasters tried it even though they weren’t sure at first. It was a fantastic opportunity to build confidence, explore new experiences, and talk about our likes and dislikes.

P1R have been very busy again this week. From learning new sounds and starting time in numeracy, reading and exploring “Cinderella” and spending time with friends, we’ve had a very successful week. We’re looking forward to next week already!

It was also lovely to meet all our P1R families over the last two weeks at parents’ appointments. Thanks, as always, for your co-operation and support 

“I didn’t just like today Miss Ronald, I loved it” – We had a great time celebrating Halloween altogether on Friday! 🎃 Everyone’s costumes were amazing. Hope you’ve all had a great weekend and didn’t eat too many sweeties!! Miss Ronald 😊

P1R had a wonderful visit to Stewarton Library last week. We enjoyed exploring the library, reading for enjoyment and listening to a class story read by Miss Ronald. We can’t wait to go back!

We’ve had a wonderful week in P1R! We’ve worked on our fine motor skills, using playdough, sand and lego. We also had lots of fun searching for our sounds in stories! Have a lovely holiday everyone 😊

Our sponsored Danceathon is taking place this Friday! P1R and P1B will be dancing from 11am to 11:30am. Jam Street will be there too!

Children can come “dressed as you please” and may also come dressed in dance clothes if they’d prefer. Please bring extra water and any sponsor money to school on Friday. Please note that sponsor money can be given by cash or through ParentPay. The winning sponsor form will receive a gift voucher for the Book Nook 🙂

Thanks in advance for your support. Any questions, please just be in touch! Keep dancing!

Thanks!

P1R enjoyed taking their learning outdoors this week for Maths Week Scotland. Learners completed a shape hunt and a number scavenger hunt in partners. Everyone did so well!

We were super busy in the classroom too – learning new sounds, reading new stories and attending a very yummy MacMillan Coffee Morning.

We’re looking forward to the week ahead and everything it brings! See you soon, Miss Ronald

Hi everyone,

Please find attached a copy of the P1 Information Session Powerpoint, from Thursday evening:

Parent Workshop PowerPoint

You will also find a copy of it in the ‘Yearly Overview’ tab, so it can be easily referred back to at any time.

Thanks,

Miss Ronald

NRPS are delighted to be hosting our Macmillan coffee morning on Friday 26^th September in the gym hall from 9:30am – 12pm. P1R will be visiting the coffee morning from 9:30am to 9:50am, if you wish to pop along and join your child all in the name of a very worthwhile cause. All children will be given a piece of baking and we would ask that children bring in a donation with all proceeds going to Macmillan Cancer Support.

We would also be very grateful for any baking donations, either homemade or shop bought. Donations can be handed in from today (Wednesday 24^th September) onwards. Please ensure any Tupperware/containers are labelled with your child’s name and class so that they can be safely returned after our coffee morning.

As we are a nut free school, please do not hand in any donations containing nuts. Children with an identified food allergy will be provided with a piece of baking from the catering team.

We very much look forward to seeing you. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Our P1 information session is taking place this Thursday 25th September from 5pm to 6pm.

Please come along to hear more about class learning and daily routines. Class teachers will be happy to answer any questions you have as well.

Hope to see you then. Thanks!

Miss Ronald

Hi all,

Some parents were enquiring about our Rocket Phonics resource. P1 learners have not been assigned books for homework yet. However, if you wish to check your child’s log-in and explore the resource, then please feel free to do so!

To find out more, please use the below link:

https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/ea/netherrobertland/rocket-phonics-reading/

This will take you to our school blog where you will find the parent guides, explaining the logging in process step-by-step.

You might also need our Centre ID code – 151765.

Thanks,

Miss Ronald

Our new homework folders went out today 😀

In the folder, you will find:

• An active learning booklet with suggested activities for literacy and numeracy. You will find more activities on the Home Learning section of the blog, as well as details about the learning for the week.
• A lined homework jotter that children can use for written homework. These jotters reflect the ones we use in class.

As homework is not compulsory, jotters will not be monitored by class teachers weekly. However, if your child wishes to show off their home learning, then please send their jotters into school and I will be more than happy to a look!

Any questions, just let me know. Thanks very much,

Miss Ronald

Hi all,

The first homework activities for P1R have been uploaded onto our blog page. You’ll find it under ‘Home Learning’.

Homework jotters and homework folders will be sent home soon. We’re just awaiting a delivery!

Thanks,

Miss Ronald

Hi everyone,

We’re really looking forward to P1R’s ‘Meet the Teacher’ tomorrow, from 1:45pm to 2:15pm.

See you then!

Miss Ronald

Hi everyone,

P1R had a great first day of school yesterday! The next few days are set to be super busy and lots of fun.

Next week, we will be starting P.E. routines and outdoor learning. If you are able to drop P.E. kits and outdoor learning gear into school over the next few days, then that would be great. For outdoor learning, we ask for welly boots and puddle suits (although, separate waterproof jackets would also be fine). Thanks to those who have already brought their kits in.

If any questions, feel free to catch me at the school gates.

Thanks for your help,

Miss Ronald
