Homework Expectations

Dear Parent/ Carer,

Thank you for all support so far using the Seesaw app for completing homework.

Below are a few notes to be aware of,

  • Every Friday, the class teacher is recording who has completed the homework so all tasks should be completed by then.
  • The homework posted to the site is reviewed regularly. Once the teacher has seen the homework, they will approve and like the task. Sometimes, a comment will be added, this will not be done for every task.
  • Sometimes homework will be posted on a Friday for the following week. Please do not complete the homework over the weekend.
  • If a task is posted with a date that it should be completed on, please complete it on this date. If the task is completed early, children might not have covered the learning in class.

If you do not have access to a device that connects to the internet, for example a phone, tablet or laptop, then please contact the school office and leave a message for the class teacher.

Thank you for your continued support,

Miss McAlpine & Miss McFlynn (Primary 1 teachers)

Homework

Homework will be issued this Monday 31st August. On Monday your child will receive a red homework folder which will contain a yellow jotter for use when completing some homework tasks.

There will also be an information sheet in your child’s folder which explains how to access ‘seesaw’. This will be the remote learning app we will be using to assign and complete homework tasks each week. The sheet provides you with a QR code which can be used to log in to your child’s profile.

Over the coming weeks Seesaw will also be used to share pupil’s learning from the classroom. More information on this will be provided during next weeks online open afternoon on Wednesday 2nd September. A video presentation will be posted on this class blog at 3pm on Wednesday which will explain what the year ahead will look like in P1.

All homework tasks will be issued on a Monday, however, we ask that the phonics sounds are practised daily. Any other tasks can be completed throughout the week on a day that suits best to allow for after school activities and other commitments. Homework should be completed for Thursday night in order to be marked on Friday.

The video link below explains a little bit more about using seesaw at home.

If you have any questions please ask.

Welcome!

Hello everyone and welcome to Primary 1b’s class blog!

The blog will be used over the next few weeks tp update you with any information.

Some important information:

Our PE days will be Wednesdays and Fridays this year. As we will be making the most of the outdoors this year during PE can you make sure that your child has outdoor shoes, long trousers and a jumper/jacket with a hood with them on these days. PE kits can be left in school each week. Below is the PE kit guidance.

Indoor kit required:

  • black plimsolls
  • black shorts
  • either a red/white/yellow t-shirt

Outdoor kit required:

  • trainers (old ones which can be kept in school)
  • black joggers/leggings
  • black jumper/sweatshirt
  • rain jacket

Already I can see that the pupils are so eager and willing to learn. They have settled in brilliantly over the past week and I am very proud of them all. I can’t wait to see what the rest of the year holds!

I look forward to meeting and getting to know you all!

Take care,

Miss McAlpine 🙂
