SCOTTISH POETRY VIRTUAL COMPETITION – GET INVOLVED!

ONTHANK PRIMARY ANNUAL ‘VIRTUAL’ SCOTTISH POETRY COMPETITION 

Dear Families,

We are excited our young people will not miss out on this annual Onthank experience!

Poems have been posted on your child’s Blog or Teams page and staff have allocated specific online learning time to allow our young people to work on them. Staff have also shared with our young people how our 2021 competition will work.

To confirm for all families, please see information below:

1, Young people have access to their poem via Blog/Teams – if your child cannot access their poem, please contact their teacher and this can be sent directly

2, Young people should continue to be encouraged to learn and rehearse their poem, adding any acting gestures and facial expressions

3, If your child wishes to compete in our Virtual Poetry Competition we request you submit their video recording to their class teacher via email (ea firstname . surname@glow.sch.uk) by Monday 25th January 1pm.  This will give young people additional time over the weekend to work on their poem if they wish.

4, Class teachers will select their class winner from the videos submitted. All class winners will then be judged by a panel including Callum our Janitor, Heather our Catering Manager and Pupil Council/Rights Respecting Schools Chair.  Overall stage winners will be selected.

5, Overall stage winners will be invited to join our Parent Council Big Burns Virtual Quiz Friday 29th Jan to perform their poem for an audience. An anonymous vote will then take place as our families/community select our overall Onthank Primary Poetry Winner.

6, All winners will receive a special certificate in the post to celebrate this achievement and be given the opportunity to have their video included in our next Virtual Assembly.

If you have any additional questions regarding the competition please email Mr Swan on easteven.swan@glow.sch.uk and he will happily help.

Our Virtual Harvest Festival

To all of our families,

We may not be able to come together physically just now, but why not join us in watching our Virtual Harvest Festival?

Going live on Friday 9th October 2020 at 10am, we will be participating in the first virtual harvest festival. Alongside Eco-Schools and the Wildlife Trusts, the Harvest festival is all about teaching the nation’s next generation what it takes to grow the food we all love and enjoy so much!

Harvest at Onthank 2020

 

Last year some kind people donated tins of food to the school. The children at Onthank sent them round the local community as we learned about Harvest, friendship and community spirit.

Some tasty food parcels were gratefully received and some people even said it made their day and brought a smile to their face.

Due to Covid-19 we have made safety rules to keep everyone safe. We are still celebrating Harvest while giving members a happy experience.

If you would like to give us any ideas on how to celebrate Harvest this year please do the following:

  • Please leave your donations at the front of our school gates in the lunch trollies which have labels on them.
  • Our lunch trollies will be at the gates from Monday 5th October – Friday 9th October for your donations.
  • We would like you to donate tins of food and food which does not go out of date quickly.
  • Donations will self-isolate in the school in the October holiday and be cleaned before we make our parcels.

Food parcels will be made and safely given around the houses leaving them at doors and paths with an Onthank Primary card.

Thank you for your support to help make a difference at Onthank Primary.

Stay safe.
