Sharing Information: Classroom Visits

Dear Parent / Carer,

 

Sharing Information: Classroom Visits

The children have now settled in their new classes and we would like to offer you the opportunity to visit your child’s classroom and meet their teacher(s) in the school hall.

Primary 1 Parents

You are invited to an information session on Monday 17 September from 1.15pm until 1.45pm to meet the teachers and receive information about your child’s learning in P1. If you have a child/ren in another area of the school you will be able to go to their class at 2.00 pm.

Primary 2 – Primary 7 Parents

I am sure you will find this a worthwhile experience which will provide you with information on the learning through displays. It will also give you an opportunity to meet your child’s teacher(s).

There will be the formal parents’ meetings on Tuesday 9 October 2018 when you will have an individual meeting with your child’s teacher to discuss their progress and areas for development.

The open afternoon for P2 to P7 classes will take place on Monday 17 September from 2.00 pm. Please come to the school reception and you will be escorted to the relevant area of the school.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs A Wright, Mrs G Findlay and Mr D McIlwraith

P5E scavenger hunt

Primary 5 are exploring the features of non-fiction texts this term.

P5E were showing that they could identify these features during a fun scavenger hunt.  They were to choose a non-fiction book and stick a post it note next to the feature they found.  Some groups were very quick demonstrating excellent knowledge of non-fiction text features.

Onthank is ‘Officially Amazing’

CONGRATULATIONS

As we approach the end of term we would like to say well done to all our pupils. We reflect on all their achievements and look forward to when we can view everybody’s  strengths and achievements through their Glow e-portfolio.

We all believe that Onthank pupils are …

,

***We received a phone call this afternoon from an East Ayrshire employee to give us some very positive news. His parents were in Millport on Monday while our P7s were there and he told us the shopkeepers were praising Onthank pupils and staff. He said “The toy shop owners were saying Onthank pupils were the best school who had visited them this year”. Polite, mannerly and pleasant children.”?He said this was the same story in other places. “Kids and teachers from Onthank were a credit to the school”.

Well done P7s. I hope you all enjoyed your pizza today”.?

P5E World Cup Countries Research

This term Primary 5E have been using their ICT skills to research information on countries participating in the World Cup.

They had to find out lots of facts, locate their country on a world map and accurately copy down the country’s flag.

Then pupils were asked to create a bigger design of their flag using paint.

Miss Ellis was so impressed with their fantastic art work that she asked pupils if the flags could be used on the Girl Guiding float that was entering the Stewarton Bonnet Guild gala day parade last weekend.  This meant hundreds of people got to see their excellent work.

All the Stewarton Brownie and Guide leaders would like to thank P5E for allowing us to use their flags.
