The children were all very keen to discuss the recent fire at Mearns Primary. We took the opportunity this afternoon to explore fire safety and decided to write a letter of thanks to the fire service. This letter has been sent for the attention of Clarkston fire station. As you will be aware, the fire service arrived within minutes of the fire being reported and as a result our classroom was left unharmed. We are very thankful for the work that they do.
Today we had our first fire drill where we had to evacuate the school. The children responded quickly to the alarm and we were able to assemble on to the pitch in a good time. Some were a little scared when the alarm sounded but have since been reassured 🙂
At our whole school assembly, the children were given their first house challenge. This was to create a family poem based on the school values. If you would like to participate, these are to be completed and handed in on Friday.
Welcome to p1.4’s blog. My name is Mrs Stephenson and I will be p1.4’s class teacher on Mondays, Tuesdays and alternate Wednesdays. Mrs O’Donnell will be class teacher on alternate Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. If you ever need to speak to either of us, please contact the school office, write a note in your child’s homework diary or catch us at drop off/pick up 🙂
Through this blog, you will be able to keep up to date with everything we are doing in school. Primary 1 is such a fantastic year of learning and we hope to capture as much as possible for you.
Our first few days have been busy. We are learning new routines and familiarising ourselves with our classroom and school. We have also started our Jolly Phonics program today and learned the sound ‘s’. Please ask us to show you the action when we learn a new sound- it’s great to help us remember! Homework will begin next week to enable you to support your child at home.
Thank you,
Mrs Stephenson
