Primary 4 have had a busy week. Here are some of our highlights from the last week:

Literacy: This week we have been writing recounts. The children have been working on peer assessment and have been giving each other feedback on their writing using the success criteria.

Numeracy & Maths: We have been doing information handling this week. The children have carried out surveys in class and are exploring different ways of presenting their information. Look out for a survey question for adults at home!

HWB: The children are continuing to work on fitness training and gymnastics in PE. The focus for health & wellbeing in November has been healthy and the class have exploring then importance of  a balanced diet. They are compiling a mini cook book of healthy recipes so please send us any recipes you have on Seesaw and we will include them in our book!

RME: Our themes this term is Buddhism and this week the class read a Buddhist story called ‘The Wind And The moon’.  Make sure to ask your child about the message learned form the story.

IDL: We are continuing our topic on climate zones and this week the children have been learning about tropical and mountain climates.

Expressive Arts: Our art work is top secret this week but has involved design and choosing suitable media for a particular task. All will be revealed at the Christmas Fayre!

Primary 4 went all the way into the city centre last Thursday to see ‘The Croods 2’ at Cineworld. This trip linked to work we have been doing in class on film literacy. Everyone enjoyed the film, especially Miss Gordon and Mrs Neil who laughed almost the whole way through! We were very lucky to have 2 parent helpers come with us. The boys and girls all followed our code of conduct and were ready, respectful and safe at all times; we even got a compliment from the bus driver on their good behaviour!

A Halloween Treat!
Dear Families,

As you will be aware we will be celebrating Halloween on Friday 28th October 2022. In order to raise some money for school funds, which supports us to pay for trips, parties and treats for the children, our House Captains will be selling Halloween body transfers during the day on Friday. The transfers are Halloween themed and will be priced at 10p each. If children wish to purchase a transfer they should bring money to school with them on Friday.

Yours,

Arrangements for Halloween!

Dear Families,

We will be celebrating Halloween on Friday 28th October 2022.

Children are welcome to come to school dressed up in their Halloween costumes, but there is no obligation to do so. Anyone opting not to dress up may come in non-uniform.

NB: There will be no facilities for changing into costumes, or having any make-up applied, in school. This will all need to be done at home.

For children who do dress up, please note that no accessories of any kind should be brought to school, for example masks, swords, knives, wands, guns, tridents etc. This helps prevent loss and / or injury. Please remember that costumes should be age appropriate. We kindly ask that families are mindful of the age range in our school when preparing costumes for the parties as we do not want to scare any children. Children should also avoid full face coverings as this could pose a hazard when climbing stairs and moving around the building etc.

A special whole-school Halloween assembly has been organised and classes will be able to undertake spooky activities throughout the day within their classes. Pupils will also take part in their own Halloween class party. We would also like to say a huge thank you to one of our family members who donate a recent bingo win to the school. This has helped us to purchase crisps, sweets and juice for all the Halloween parties.

We are all looking forward to a spooktacular week!

Yours,

Well who can believe we are now at the end of our first term for session 2022-23? It has been an exceptionally busy few months at Camstradden Primary School and both the staff and pupils have been working exceptionally hard.

I would like to offer my personal thank you to everyone across the Camstradden Primary community for the very warm welcome I have received since taking up the post of Acting Head Teacher earlier this week. I have been overwhelmed by the support and positivity shown by everyone thus far, and it has been my pleasure to start getting to know you all. I am looking forward to developing relationships with the school community during my time with you.

I would also like to pass on my best wishes, as well as the love and best wishes of the Camstradden Primary Community, to Miss Grace (Headteacher) who finished up at Camstradden Primary on Friday of last week to start her maternity leave. We are looking forward to hearing the news about the arrival of her bundle of joy soon. We will keep you updated.

If there is anything you would like to discuss or that I can help with, please do not hesitate to speak to me. I will be available in or around the playground / front door at the start and end of the day, or I can be contacted using the details below.

All that remains is for me to wish you a very happy October break.Stay safe, enjoy yourselves, and come back ready to learn after the holidays. I am confident an exciting year awaits us!

Yours,
