P1A

Welcome to primary 1a!

This term we will be developing our language skills by blending initial sounds. Be sure to practise them at home with your children to familiarise them with all the different sounds.

We will be practising for our assembly this term, so be sure to come along to it on Monday 20th May!

As well as this, Sports day is on Wednesday 19th June. Please make sure that your child wears their house colours and dresses appropriately for the warm weather. It is essential that they have a bottle of water to drink throughout the day.

Gym will be on a Wednesday and Friday, so make sure that your child has their gym kit in school on these days. The children have been enjoying outdoor learning this term. Please make sure that your child is suitably dressed for the colder days. P1A have outdoor learning on a Monday.

For homework, please make sure that your child is practising their sounds, reading words and reading books every night. Thank you for using sumdog at home – the children are very much enjoying playing all of the different games.

We have started sharing our learning every Thursday in our learning journeys. Please make sure that you discuss your children’s learning, sign the learning journey and return it every Friday.

At Pirie Park Primary, we recognise achievement. Therefore, children are able to gain awards for good behaviour and hard work at weekly assemblies. As well as this, the school runs a house points system to encourage good behaviour and manners.
