We are having a week of lovely weather so the teachers would like you to stay sun safe and get out for fresh air if you can.
Ensure that you read your online Bug Club books this week and your library book if you have one.
Positive Choices Week
Mrs Findlay issued some jobs this week as part of Positive Choices Week and you could try some of these, if you like, instead of the weekly homework that you have been used to on our P2 page.
Check out the list below.
June Article 29: Your right to become the best you can be.
Please choose some activities you would like to try this week.
Create a Positive Thinking Poster with your friends or family.
Catch up with friends and chat about what makes you happy.
Read our Be the Nice Kid Poster – discuss this with your family.
Take it in turns to mime and act out an occupation. Try to guess the jobs.
Think of a different job for every letter of the alphabet.
What job would you like to do in Onthank Primary? Tell us why?
On Friday you can come dressed up as what job you would like to have when you are older or who you would like to be.
***** Please continue to use the homework jotter that was provided and if you need another, then ensure you email your teacher. *****

Class teachers want to see photos of the work you have completed please so send an email with your good work attached. Remember to lay your work out well and try really hard with your handwriting and presentation.
We hope you have all had a good few days off with your families. Due to the February holiday we only have two days of school this week. There will be no VScene calls or Pupil of the Day this week but our First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has decided that we should return to school on Monday.
We’re delighted to welcome you all back and in the meantime, Homework Buddies, could you please help us to prepare the children for their return.
The Management Team have requested the following:-
How can I help?
As a final helpful list to parents, can you please support us by:
· Reinforcing hygiene measures and social distancing with your child(ren).
· Having your child(ren) bring tissues to school to capture any coughs or sneezes.
· Ensuring your child does not bring unnecessary items to school.
· Reinforcing positive, safe relationships between all children and our staff.
· Dropping your child off at school gates and allowing them to enter the playground area independently.
· Understanding that we are not permitted to allow visitors in school buildings, other than in emergency or other exceptional circumstances.
Until then kids, we want you to have some fun activities and tasks to do which will remind you about how to keep safe on our return. You can have a look through the Learning Grid to see what activities you could complete and then send them on to your class teacher.

It’s been so long since we last saw each other! There are a lot of different emotions and if you’ve felt different things since being away from school then it’s ok.
Well done, Primary 2! Your teachers are loving all the fantastic work you have been sharing and we want to encourage you to keep it up.
Thank you to all Homework Buddies who completed the survey on remote learning. We appreciate your feedback and in response to this have made some changes which you will be able to see over the coming weeks.
We’ve seen so many great pieces of work this week and wanted to ask, if you had made a poster about a Scottish animal, could you please keep your poster safe and bring it into school when we’re allowed to be back together again. Your teachers would love to put them up on the wall to show off all your great research skills!
Each week your class teacher emails out names for Pupil of the Day.
Could we remind you to fill in the form contained in the email link and return it before the Sunday of that week so a personalised certificate can be created for each Pupil of the Day from their friends.
These really cheered the pupils up last week.
Random Act of Kindness Day
Usually we give you a task to help out at home or to help learn a life skill but this week we have something a little different. We have been doing lots of work on kindness throughout this year but there is a day where we celebrate this nationally and this week sees the Random Act of Kindness Day for 2021. It would be lovely to see you all carry out a random act of kindness for someone with the hope of putting a big smile on their faces, especially during these challenging times.

We worked with our Buddies on Thursday to pick up litter from the garden at the front of the school. We then went for a walk around the school to see some of our local area.
P1A met their new Buddies from P6A this afternoon. We have had good fun introducing ourselves and getting to know each other by drawing pictures together. Our favourite bit was talking to the bigger boys and girls.
