Just a little reminder that Friday is Christmas jumper day and donations can be brought in a bag or made through parent pay .

Friday is also the last day for Christmas fayre  purchases. Money can be sent via parent pay or sent to school in a bag to quarantine. 

If your child has written Christmas cards for their friends could we remind you that tomorrow (Friday) is the last day for these to be submitted due to us ensuring a period of quarantine.

We have all been incredibly busy in class with various Christmas activities and we will continue this to get into the Christmas spirit and to spread Christmas cheer.

It is often at this time of year that we are asked for class lists so that some of our pupils can write Christmas cards for their friends. This is not a mandatory activity and we would discourage you from going to buy cards now. However, if your child has cards and would like to send them to their friends, we would ask that they write them and place all the cards into a single bag for posting in our Primary 2 post box in school. 

Include the following on the envelope:

• friend’s name

• class

Mrs Kidd – P2K

Mrs Saxelby – P2S

Miss Telford – P2T

Miss Baillie – P2B

Due to the circumstances the cards will need to be quarantined, therefore we would ask for all cards to arrive before:

MONDAY 14th DECEMBER

They will be delivered during the last two days of term. 

Merry Christmas!

Primary Two Team 🙂

Please check “Things you need to know about P2” in the menu if you need to contact Mrs Kidd as her email address has changed. All other staff emails are correct.

Christmas jumpers should be worn each Friday of December however, Primary two would request that pupils try to wear their Christmas jumpers/dresses/decorations again where possible on Monday 7th December as we are trying to film a special message to be shared this week.

Thank you

Primary 2 Team

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

carol.saxelby@eastayrshire.org.uk     Mrs Saxelby

lauran.telford@eastayrshire.org.uk.   Miss Telford

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.

Mrs Kidd and the P2 Team

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!

Could we please remind parents that we sent out an orange consent letter to give your permission for any school trips throughout the year.

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.
