Week One of the Pilmuir Primary Hub


We were able to welcome some of our key worker families’ children to the Hub this week as well as two brand new boys to Pilmuir – imagine your first day at a new school being with just 6 girls! Everyone has settled really well to the new ways of doing things and the teaching staff and support staff involved have had fun playing new games – some of the grown ups enjoy winning a little too much! Next week the numbers will increase and there will be teaching staff on hand to help the children access the Google classroom work that the children at home will have and there will be plenty of time for more fun and games.

The Pilmuir Primary Transformation – A Social Story

When you come back to school in August you will notice a bit of a difference.  The outside might look the same but the inside has changed!  This had to be done so Pilmuir Primary can be a safe place for everyone to come and work in.

We’re going to show you how the adults transformed Pilmuir Primary into a post-lockdown school.

Week 1 – beginning 8th June.

Mrs Ramsay is busy in the P4 classroom.

Miss Hambly is organising her room.

George helps move resources.

 

 

 

 

 

The P1 classroom is a bit different to normal.

What a boorach Mr Tulloch is in!

Ms Casburn is getting ready to rumble.

Mrs Hever is like a busy bee in the P2 classroom.

Mr Lake is busy organising his classroom.

 

 

Mrs Harper is stuck with cleaning out the Art cupboard.

Mrs Franklin is happy now that her room is tidy.

week 2 – beginning 15th June

The clear out has started in the current Primary 6 area and desks have been rearranged ready to welcome pupils back to school.

The P3 room looks different with the tables in rows.

Mrs Lyon’s garage is full of her school resources.

week 3  – beginning 22nd June

Miss Hambly, Mrs Lyon and Mrs Ramsay working together after a break of 3 months.

Still some tidying to be done. The cupboard was emptied and monitors were covered before the computers were stored away.
