P2/3 will be having an outdoor learning afternoon every Wednesday afternoon. We are hoping to complete 12 outdoor challenges to receive the RSPB Gold Wild Schools Award.
If children could bring or wear weather appropriate clothing commencing this Wednesday please. The children will potentially be getting muddy so please dress them in clothing and footwear that you do not mind them getting a bit dirty.
W/B 6.9.21
Children should choose another activity on the active spelling grid to practise their new phoneme and common words (see images below for words).
For numeracy if children could choose one of the place value games below which you will find on Topmarks. Tens and units for P2 and hundreds, tens and units for P3 (however, P2 have been exposed to and managed HTU).

I would like homework returned by Friday. However, if handing it in the following Monday works better then that would also be fine too. (I know lots of the children are busy with clubs throughout the week)
I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone for the great response to the children’s All About Me Bags.
I loved getting to know more about all of the children and couldn’t believe how confident everyone was with talking in front of their new class. They should all be feeling very proud of themselves!
Our gym days will be a Tuesday with myself and a Thursday with Mr Smith. Gym will be outside for as long as weather permits and later on in the year it will resume within the Gym Hall. If children can bring a change of shoes for gym outdoors then that would be great.
Apologies for the late notice but everyone will still be able to participate outside tomorrow.
Hi everyone! We now have our class blog set up where I will post any class information and homework. Primary 2’s will receive their yellow diary home on Monday. If you have any concerns or questions then pop a message in it and I will get back to you.
Primary 3’s will be using Teams for communication, however, this will not be starting until the children are confident in accessing it in school so if you have anything you want to share with me then you can send me an email. My email address is: danielle.kinnaird@eastayrshire.org.uk.
I hope all of the children have enjoyed their first couple of days back at school. I am delighted with how well they have been settling in and new friendships are being made.
Have a lovely weekend.
