Primary 2 will be going to Crossgates Care Home, straight across from Onthank Primary School, for some Christmas Carolling outdoors. This will take place on Friday 11th December 2020 and the children can be dressed in Christmas attire, as per school Christmas calendar. We would really appreciate it if you could practise the following songs over the coming weeks with your child(ren). We will be adding our own Christmas cheer to the songs in class too. Below are links to videos with lyrics. 

1. The Christmas Alphabet with Makaton Sign Language 

2. It was on a Starry Night

3. Away in a Manger 

4. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer 

5. Jingle Bells

6. When Santa Got Stuck Up the Chimney

7. We Wish you a Merry Christmas

Due to a national directive taken outwith our control locally, all pupil login data has been reset for primary one and primary two pupils. It has been decided that if pupils need to log into their own Glow page then it will only be updated and used at school as required to support any work in class.

The impact on our pupils will be minimal. Homework and information about Primary two will continue to be posted on our primary two Glow page and can still be accessed through google without log in information. Any completed homework should be emailed to the class teacher. A reminder of our email addresses are as follows:

jennifer.baillie@eastayrshire.org.uk    Miss Baillie

laura.milligan@eastayrshire.org.uk    Mrs Kidd

It is our final week of outdoor football so please bring a change of clothes on Monday.

We have recently received guidance and risk assessments on the reintroduction of indoor P.E. sessions.  As a result we will be preparing to begin indoor P.E. sessions again very soon.

If possible, we request that all pupils bring a gym kit in a kit bag that can be hung on their own coat peg. It would be beneficial for your child to have a change of shorts and soft indoor shoes. Thank you for those who have already handed in PE Kits at the beginning of the term.

Our gym days will still be a Monday and a Thursday.

To begin our focus on Anti-Bullying Week, we invite YOU to wear ODD SOCKS to school on Monday.

We will have information and activities which aim to help all our children support friendships in class and manage big feelings as well as providing top tips on calming down quickly and relaxing!

Photographs

Having had their photographs taken last week any outstanding orders for the images that were sent home should be returned to school ASAP as the envelopes will be collected on Monday 16th November. These must be in school by 12pm that day. Ordering the photos online earns the school more commission than ordering through the school and we would encourage you to use this service if possible please.

It’s Children In Need day this Friday 13th November. Follow the link below for more information.
