Christmas Nativity

Hello all,

It is that time of year! The pupils have been working hard on learning the nativity songs and practising their scene. If you get any time at home, it would be great to practise your child’s lines with them.

We appreciate any extra practise they can get in these next two weeks!

Thank you,

Miss Murray

Digital resources

There are a couple of great resources online for children to practise using a laptop/Chromebook and to familiarise the pupils with the keyboard and practise letter formation.

Personal Items

Hello all,

Mrs Rooney and I have noticed that children have been bringing in a variety of different items from home that are becoming a distraction during lessons. Can we ask that pupils do not bring in any personal items from home please.

I hope everyone enjoyed their September weekend!

Miss Murray and Mrs Rooney

P5/6 Class

Hello all,

My name is Miss Murray and I am the new primary 5/6 teacher. I have enjoyed getting to know all of your children throughout the past few weeks and I thought I would introduce myself to you all. On Thursdays, the class will have Mrs Rooney who is a familiar face at Ochiltree Primary.

Our homework this year will be optional. Pupils will soon be given reading books that should be read at home and I will be uploading spelling words every week with possible tasks they can do.

I look forward to meeting you all over the course of the year!

Thank you!

Miss Murray and Mrs Rooney
