Shadow Messages

P4 pupils were set a task to create a shadow message, perhaps for a loved one who they can’t visit just now or for their friends to see online.

We have been so impressed by the examples that we thought it would be a lovely idea for all pupils to be involved in.

Some teachers have been getting creative and sharing their messages too.

Here are some lovely examples…

 

 

 

We would love if you would join in the fun and create a positive message to keep us smiling although we can’t see each other just now.

You can email photos to eadavid.mcilwraith1@glow.sch.uk

Can you please send them by Friday 24th April 2020, 5pm. There are a few really sunny days ahead to test out your messages.

Got a special message for your friends or for your school community?

In addition to our shadow messages, you can also email Mr McIlwraith a special message that you may have for a best friend or a group of friends! What are you most looking forward to when you get back to school? Who are you missing and why? Drop Mr McIlwraith a message and we will share it with our Onthank Community for your friends to see online! Please note that your name will appear on the video if you send us a message so make sure you get permission from an adult.

Looking forward to seeing them!

Calling All Lucy Fans!

Chris Duke has written this story in the style of a free eBook to explain how Lucy is coping with being in Lockdown. Like many children, Lucy experiences many emotions during this time.

Her hair is blue but this time she knows why. She also knows that it is ok to sometimes have a blue day.

The link below takes you to the free download. Following the story there are some points for discussion.

Welcome Back

A very warm welcome back to all our pupils, parents and carers of Onthank Primary School.  We hope you have had a relaxing and safe Easter holiday.  We are so lucky that the weather has been good and the sunshine is set to continue this week.  Bailey certainly enjoys the sun and going for a walk!

Staff have be online again and it has been great to see so many of you logging on.  We will be online to chat to children and set them some tasks and activities for the week.  Along with keeping in touch digitally we have also made some phone calls to families.  We are unable to call everyone and will prioritise families who have been unable to connect online,  however if you wish to nominate someone for a call feel free to do so.

Thank you for your response. ✨

We are all missing the children and can’t wait to have them back in school.  But for now – stay home, stay safe and keep in touch.

We can do this together!!

Easter Holidays?

Today is the last day of Term 3. We would like to wish all of our Onthank Community a safe, healthy and happy holiday.  We will not be posting any new online learning / materials for the next two weeks. Thank you to all the staff for their super effort in putting all of your learning together.  You (parents and children ) all deserve a holiday too as you have been working so hard to complete the  tasks which have been set by your teachers. During the Easter Break we hope you have fun with your family.?
We will be back online on Monday 20 April with lots of exciting activities. Please keep in touch with each other during the holiday.?
There will be some staff available who are supervising The Hub for the children of key workers so if you need to get in touch please email: onthank.primary@east-ayrshire.gov.uk and we will get back to you.
