iPad Agreement for P5 Pupils – August 2023

In Primary 5 as part of our Connected Learning digital rollout programme, your child will receive their own iPad and charger to use for learning purposes in school.

In order for us to arrange, set up and distribute the iPads we require children and families to read and sign a contract. The contract explains the expectations for using the iPad. In order for your child to receive an iPad they are required to read, sign and return the contract to their class teacher by Friday the 25th of August. If they do not return the contract by this date then they may not receive their iPad at the same time as the rest of the cohort.

Should you have any questions please get in touch with Mrs Jones.

World Book Day 2023

This year, we will be celebrating World Book Day at Hyndland Primary. The official date is Thursday 2nd March, however, we will be celebrating World Book Day on Friday 3rd March.

 

The Reading Ambassadors have been busy creating a range of whole school and in class activities that pupils all can take part in on the day. We aim for this day to be filled with reading themed activities, linking lessons to novels or characters, as well as using the resources and activities that the Reading Ambassadors have created.

 

Whole School activities:

– Dressing up – all pupils are encouraged to dress up as a book character, a word or come to school in their PJs/onesies so that they are comfy when they are reading.

-Whole School paired reading event – Children from different stages will meet together on Friday from 11:30-12:00pm to share stories, books and read together.

-Stories from around the world – Can we travel the world on World Book Day? Children are encouraged to bring in a book from home which take place in a different part of the world. This book could be in their home language/from their home country or could be a book they have enjoyed that has taken place somewhere else in the world. The P7 Reading Ambassadors will collect the data and put a dot on a large map, showing where they book has allowed us to travel to.

-World Book Day parties – pupils will celebrate in class.

-Green Screen – a bit of fundraising on the day! Children and staff can pay 20p to put themselves on the cover of a book cover, for example with Harry, Hermione and Ron on a Harry Potter front cover. Photos will be uploaded to Seesaw. Choices of book covers will be made available to pupils before the big day!

 

Many thanks,

Miss Liveston and the Reading Ambassadors

Cooking Kitchen Disruption Next Week

Good afternoon Hyndland families

Unfortunately next week due to essential extensive works in the schoolkitchen linked to our boiler refurbishment, our team will be unable to use gas to prepare food on site.
Our area catering manager has made arrangements for soup, fruit, yoghurts and packed lunches for pupils to be available from Monday 16th (if planned industrial action does not go ahead) until Thursday 19th January.

We are sorry for any inconvenience and disruption to provision, but the procedures are crucial to the wider school works being completed within the CBG schedule.
For the four days next week lunch orders will be taken in the classroom as the menus will not match the online system.

Many thanks

Hyndland team
