Sharing the learning
P2 have been working hard becoming more familiar with using the chromebooks. Our first task was to try and log on by ourselves. We will continue to work on this, if you can encourage your child to practise logging on at home using their password pass, it would be greatly appreciated.
Mr Hutchenson then showed off his digital skills by leading a live whole school assembly.Primary2 were very impressed. 
Great work from everyone this week, it was very hard to select our award winners.
Well done to our Award winners this week! 
Hello,
Usernames and passwords will be handed out tomorrow. They will be on a piece of card (password pass) so that it’s easier to find.
All glow passwords are subject to an annual password change. As children will be using their glow accounts at home and in school, it is my priority to ensure both myself and parents have access to the most recent passwords in order to help them log in. If their password is changed in school I will update their ‘password pass’ and would ask parents to do so that if the password change is prompted at home. This ensure pupils have access to learning resources at home and in school.

Thank you for patience, organising every individual account has taken a little longer than I anticipated.

Homework
Over the coming weeks further advice will be issued with regards to homework.
For the moment I would ask that parents make use of existing online platforms such as Sumdog and Literacy Planet – passwords will be reissued this week although these have not changed.
In addition to these, Topmarks provides a range of online games which promote numeracy skills.
Also if your child has access to a keyboard, any typing practise would be excellent as children will be encouraged to use chrome books independently in school.
Physical Education
I would also ask that you encourage your child to get changed by themselves as much as possible as they are expected to get ready for PE independently. Help is always on hand but the more independent your child can be in getting changed, the more time children have to participate in PE lessons.
PE days are a Wednesday and a Friday, for the moment both sessions take place outdoors.
Thank you for taking the time to read this,
Miss Mckay
Great effort in our first week of Primary 2.
Primary 2B had a great first week. We discussed what we wanted our classroom to be like. The children had lots of brilliant suggestions including safe, fun and friendly. We agreed on two class rules.
“To be kind” and “to be careful”

P1b have been really busy today! We have all had new reading books today which we did really well with. We’ve been making sentences with puzzle pieces, making pictures using shapes which we then painted, we worked on our fine motor skills by doing some threading, we used Teach Your Monster to Read on the iPads and we had a great go at logging in to the chromebooks and using Google Classroom for the first time!
The Owls continued their work on subtraction, the Foxes were adding 3 numbers together using cubes to help and the Mice were working on numbers to 100. What a busy day! Well done Primary 1!
As it has been so prevalent in the news, we have been talking lots about the spread of germs in class. Today we have been really busy working on our hand washing technique, writing instructions for washing our hands and we also took part in some interesting experiments!
We talked about how easily germs can spread and we demonstrated this using glitter! Some of us glittered our hands and we spread the glitter by shaking hands, and by doing this we were able to visualise the spread! We then tested our hand washing technique by using soap and water to get it all off.
We also started an experiment looking at the impact of germs on bread. We touched slices of bread with washed hands, unwashed hands, the iPad screen, the board pen and other bits and pieces we touch all the time around the class. We will check the decay on the bread next week to see which carried the most germs!
Fantastic work today P1b!
