It is now February and to begin this week’s blog we would like to say a massive THANK YOU and WELL DONE to everyone who submitted a Scottish Poem in honour of Burn’s Day 2021.

It wasn’t our usual celebration but we want to say CONGRATULATIONS to Macie from Mrs Saxelby’s class for being our overall Primary 2 WINNER!

It was a delight to watch you recite and perform your poem to the audience who attended the Scottish Quiz on Friday evening. It truly was an enjoyable night and if you enjoy a quiz we would most definitely recommend joining the Zoom call the next time one is organised by Mr Swan!

 

East Ayrshire Council have again organised VScene activities that you can opt to join throughout the week. Check the following Links for further information.

For those of you that have laced up shoes at school, we would like you to begin learning to tie your laces. The teachers are always very grateful if they have helpers who can help with tying shoes. We’re very proud of every one of you who are able to tie your own shoes. Let’s use Lockdown 2021 to learn this vital skill! Practise every day and before you know it, you’ll be able to tie your own laces!

We always love to hear from you, so whether it is work from the learning grid, worksheets you have, colouring books, photos of games you’re playing at home or walks in the park then please email them to your teacher.
