Class information – P3.10 Blog 2023/24

Welcome parents/carers!

It has been a busy first full week in P1.4. Pupils are becoming more familiar with their new surroundings and settling well to the routines of P1. You’ve probably noticed sleepier children returning home to you!

We are very keen to start using Google classroom as our way to communicate information, weekly homework diaries as well as links to new posts on our class blog. The weekly homework diary will be posted on Google Classroom every Monday.

On Monday 30th you will be issued your child’s Google classroom/Glow user name and password as well as a help sheet for support. You will find this in their homework folder. (Please ensure homework folders are returned by Friday each week)

We advise all parents to download the Google Classroom app to their phone. We have found this the easiest way to receive notifications and upload any photos of pupil homework, when required.

In order to spread the message to parents, we would be grateful if this message could be shared on any class WhatsApp groups.

Please bear with us next week while we ensure everyone is able to log into Google Classroom. If you are having any technical difficulties, please call the school office who will notify our ICT coordinator, who will be able to help!

Many thanks for all your patience.

Hello and welcome to Primary 1.4’s class blog. Here we will keep you up to date with what we are doing in school to ensure you feel part of your child’s learning journey at Mearns Primary School. My name is Mrs Stephenson and I am P1.4’s teacher on a Monday, Tuesday and alternate Wednesdays. Mrs Hamilton is P1.4’s teacher alternate Wednesdays, Thursday and Friday.

Today was a great first day and I was so impressed with how well the class settled. Our main aim this week is to get to know the children, support them in building relationships with one another and familiarise the class with our routines. I was amazed with the fantastic listening skills, their excellent efforts during tidy up times and the respect shown for adults and each other.

Above are just a few of our popular areas from today. These photographs were taken after our tidy up time, a great example of how well the children looked after their new space! At the moment, we are unable to share photographs of members of the class until permissions are confirmed.

During our story time we thought about how we were feeling and what we were enjoying. Before hometime I was delighted to see lots of thumbs up when asking the children to share how they felt about their day.

This afternoon the children also printed their hands, a perfect keepsake from their first day of school. These will be sent home on Friday 🙂

More information will be available in the coming weeks regarding learning in primary 1 and homework. If you have any questions in the meantime, please get in touch with our school office who will pass any queries onto us.

Thank you,

Mrs Stephenson
