MMcK – Parent – Primary 4 Marchdoc

The Badger’s Pantry will be open again on Friday and we are handing over to you to allow you to get creative! Come along to the Pantry and collect 6 items. Using these 6 items and anything in your store cupboard at home (oil, butter, milk, eggs etc) what can you make? Looking forward to seeing our families working together to create some impressive dishes! We can’t wait to see your creations on Twitter or Showbie.

The Pantry is open 11-12pm and 115-215pm. Come along with your bag to choose your ingredients.

Remember to keep a 2m distance from others and wear a face covering.

It was lovely to see so many of you come along to our ‘Coffee and Catch Up’ sessions last week. This week we are running at the same time,

P1-P3 330-4PM and P4- P7 415-445pm, tune in via your child’s Teams account.

The focus of discussion this week will be, Reporting to Parents, and we are keen to hear your views on this. There will also be the opportunity to raise any general questions. Once again if you have a question you would like to raise please email Headteacher@Ibrox-pri.glasgow.sch.uk or contact one of the SLT on Twitter.

World Book Day is this Thursday, 4th March.

As always we will be celebrating our love of reading at Ibrox Primary School.

Children are welcome to come dressed as their favourite character from a book, or in their PJs or onesie ready to relax and read. Please note due to restrictions we can’t have any props or books from home. 

Children in P4-P7 are welcome to join in from home and share their favourite books or costumes on Showbie. Children in P1-3 are also encouraged to post their favourite book on Showbie and teachers will share these in class.

Keep an eye on Twitter as staff will be posting Book Day info and activities. If you are tweeting a message please use #ibroxreads2021 so we can easily see all the amazing reading going on.

Children in Primary 1, Primary 2 and Primary 3 will be gifted their Bookbug/ Read Write Count bags to bring home on Thursday and Mrs Chalmers will be running parent information sessions to support the use of these in the shed, times to follow.

School staff will also be sharing their book recommendations on Thursday, watch out for further info.

The next Home Learning Pack for P4-P7 children will be available to collect on Monday 1st March between 115 and 245pm from the infant shed. This will complement the work being completed on Showbie and include additional resources to support children with their learning. Learning packs will include a whiteboard, whiteboard pen, jotter, pencil and highlighter.

P4-P7 class teachers will be uploading one Literacy and one Numeracy lesson each day. As school has now been closed for an extended period we need children to be engaging with these, watching the teaching content and uploading their completed work. 

Digital Support will be available on Monday between 115 and 230pm for anyone still struggling to access Showbie.

Please remember to wear a face covering and maintain 2m distance.

The Home Learning Pack will cover week beginning 1st March and week beginning 8th March. We are hopeful for an update on whether our P4-P7 classes can return to school on 15th March at next Tuesday’s First Minister briefing.
