Happy Friday P2A!
Next week is the start of our Easter Holidays so I’ll be back with your Home Learning in two weeks, Monday 20th April. Make sure you are keeping active and enjoy the time you will be spending with your family! Keep using the channel on Microsoft Teams to share what you are getting up to over the 2 week break!
Please find the post on Microsoft Teams about ideas and websites to keep you busy during this time!

Good morning to P2A!
In this post you will find a little more information about learning from home and tasks to complete Monday to Friday.
I will use this blog weekly to sign post any important updates.
Routine of the Day
You can choose which order you complete your learning targets, but you should aim to finish them for 3:00pmjust like you would if it was a day in class at school.
Please remember your snack break in the morning, and lunchtime break in the afternoon!
Remote Online Learning
At 9:00am everyday it might be an idea to log onto your Microsoft Teams using your GLOW account (gw16 17 18 or 19…) to have a look at what Literacy, Numeracy and Other learning tasks/online experiences I, Mr Gordon or Mrs Ali have asked you to complete or take part in.
On a Friday you may be set an assignment on your Team to assess mental maths or spelling skills. You will find the ‘Assignment’ tab at the top of the Teams page.
At 3:05pm I will have the link to our class tidy up music on the ‘YouTube’ tab at the top of the page. Play this so you can get your learning space tidy and ready for the next working day.
Remote Learning Resources
Last Thursday (19th) you were sent home with a home learning folder containing jotters, maths booklet, My Special Book and group reading texts.
Please compete written tasks neatly, in pencil and use the same jotter layout as in class.
Remember to:
Thank you for our support with the above – the children will keep you right I am sure!
Please use the guidelines and help sheets for logging in to learning sites sent to you in a school email last week if needed.
As usual, please find in the below link tasks to be completed for Friday. It is a reduced programme to take account of the STEM challenge. Thanks for your continued support and I hope everyone has a great week.

STEM Challenge
Please see a note from the STEM Committee sent out on Friday 6th March. The deadline for this challenge is Thursday 19th March.
STEM SELFIE HOUSE CHALLENGE
The idea for this challenge was created by the STEM Committee and it is to encourage pupils to engage in STEM activities outside of school.
You should take a selfie doing something related to Science, Technology, Engineering or Maths. Please print the picture and write your NAME, HOUSE and CLASS on the back.
We will then create a display board of all the selfies. The STEM Committee will judge and select overall first, second and third place winners. They will receive points for their house. Family pictures are more than welcome but please ensure each child has a copy of their picture to submit. Please bring pictures to school by Thursday 19th March. Thank you.
Good luck and happy STEM-ing 🙂

World Book Day 2020

Please see a note below from the Pupil Council, Mrs Stirling and Mrs Phee.
The Pupil Council Committee have organised to collect non-food items for our local food bank. We are hoping you can raid your cupboards and donate some essential items for those in crisis.
If you have any of the following items we would be very grateful:
Some information of our plans have previously been shared, therefore we have already received some donations.
Thank you to everyone who has already donated to this worthwhile cause.

Parent Pay
Please note that Parent Pay is now live for you to pay the balance of our trip to Eastwood Theatre. There were some technical difficulties over the weekend which have now been rectified.
Beat the Street 2020
Today your child has been sent home with information about the above.
Beat the Street is a physical activity challenge across ERC which begins on Wednesday 19th February.
Local schools, workplaces and community groups are competing to see who can walk, run, scoot or cycle the furthest before the Wednesday 1st April.
We have been allocated ‘fobs’ for staff, families and pupils to collect points to our school account.
Pupil fobs are green and have already been pre-registered to the school’s account and activated by the Beat the Street team.
Family fobs in the form of credit card style need to be registered online with the card number if you wish to take part at home.
There will be ‘Beat Boxes’ on lamp posts around the community (e.g. bottom of the lane) for us to tap the fob and collect points. More information can be found on the maps sent home.
Please note that it is not enough to scan a random box – you will need to go between them to gain points for us!
I’m sure this challenge will provide many hours of family fun!
Good luck!
Family Friendly Workshops
Please join us for one or more of our workshops. Youngest family members welcome too!
Come for 9:00am welcome before a 9:15 – 10:00am friendly session.
