We have been learning all about alphabetical order in our literacy lessons. We love doing activities to learn and practise our new skills. Our grammar activities include a letter hunt, a dictionary search, putting animals into alphabetical order, sorting letters and playing a capital and lower case matching pairs game.

Primary 2/3 have been busy learning all about place value in maths. One of our favourite activities is a number hunt which we often do in our gym hall. We have to find all the number cards and identify the number that is covered up by the animal. This is such a fun way to learn new skills!
If your child has outgrown their previous Halloween costume and you are wondering what to do with it, we have a possible solution!
Sent it to school on Monday 3rd October in a clearly labelled bag – costume, type and age/size marked. This allows for the costume to be in school for a few days.
Then on Parents@ Evening you will be able to, hopefully, select a different costume for your child. If you are happy to make a small donation this would be much appreciated. Donations will be put towards the school’s transport cost evenly across the school.
Thank you for your continued support. If extra costumes are left over, the school will donate them to a charity shop.
At Assembly this week the children were talking about respect . This includes good listening, caring for others, encouraging each other and being pleased for each others’ successes. It also means remembering to say please and thank you and being kind to each other.
We celebrated our wider achievements. If your child is doing anything outwith the school that the rest of the boys and girls would like to hear about at Assembly, please let the school know.
Next week at Assembly will be based on Fitness. Mrs Meek and our P4s will leading the school in this. We will also be talking about Harvest and the cost of the school day.
As part of our World of Work programme we would be delighted if you could visit the school to share your experience of the World of Work. If you would be happy to talk about your work with the older children, please contact Mrs Gregor,roselyn.gregor@eastayrshire.org.uk
On Monday 3rd October a member of Dumfries House Hospitality Staff will be coming to talk to Primary 6/7 about work/jobs/experiences of working and service V.I.P.’s visiting the house. The class will learn how to serve, speak to customers and the correct procedures and etiquette required.

To help celebrate Roald Dahl day we ask children to come dressed as their favourite Roald Dahl character on Wednesday 14 September. Roald Dahl’s books were about children being kind and caring even when life is super tough.
We are not asking for a donation from the children as a donation from the school staff will be sent to support the Roald Dahl charity for children who are seriously ill and being brave. If anyone wishes to contribute, a box will be available just inside the front door of the main school entrance.
Being brave is about feeling scared but carrying on anyway. Being kind is being kind and generous to someone else. The nurses, who look after sick children, are super kind and are amazing!
Can you discuss with your child about a time when they have been kind or brave to help us to celebrate on 14 September.
