Snapshot Jotter – Feedback from Parents

Snapshot Jotters have been shared with parents during the first term.  Thank you so much to everyone who commented so positively on their childs work. Below we have shared a selection of comments from parents.

“We loved getting Clara’s snapshot jotter home to look at. We went through it with her and she told us all about her work and what she had been learning. She rarely tells us what she has been doing in school. It is great to see the progress she has made in the few weeks she has been attending school” – (Clara’s Mum)

‘Fantastic Work Macey.  Can’t believe how well Macey is doing in such a short time since starting school. This jotter is a great idea because it gives you a good insight to the work they do.’ (Macey’s Mum)

‘Maci has shown great work. She has good drawing and writing skills and has shown good numerical work also. So proud of Maci and her achievements so far.’ – Margaret Brown (Maci’s Mum)

“Ellie seems to be doing really well with all her class work. The different subjects this year seem to be more challenging for her but she is coping well. I think the traffic lights is a good idea. Keep working hard Ellie!” (Ellie’s Mum)

‘I have enjoyed looking at how Louise’s work is improving.  She continues to make good progress and her confidence is growing.  Keep up the good work Louise!’ – Margaret McIntyre (Louise’s Mum)

‘Molly has always been very keen though out her time at Lawmuir to do extra work outside school.  This year, she has worked even harder and this has been seen through her homework and this snapshot jotter (excellent idea).  Extremely proud of Molly and I want to pass on my thanks to her teacher and Lawmuir for all their help. Fantastic!” – Wendy (Molly’s Mum)

Lucie puts in effort when completing any  tasks in the jotter. It shows me if she has any issues that she should work on more. J Rooney

“Lovely work in Kenzie’s snapshot jotter again. Kenzie loved his recent Viking topic on the Vikings and had great fun making his Viking longboat.”  (Kenzie Mum)

‘Very pleased with my child’s progress and how well her writing is coming on. This is excellent work!’

“Very pleased with my child’s progress and how well her writing is coming on.  This is excellent work.  I particularly liked his storytelling and I can see good progression through the years.  He has improved a lot in the past year and hope he continues to do so.  A big thanks to the staff at Lawmuir.”

“Caitlin’s work has progressed in so many ways and I am impressed she has done so well and I am also impressed with the work that has been done” mum

“Pleased to see Kaitlyn is doing well and continuing to improving her work.  I liked how she used her imagination in the magic key story. I liked her drawing of David & Goliath”

“So far I’m really impressed by my daughter’s work. So proud of Alexandria.Clever wee girl. She’s a credit to me, her big sister, nanny, papa and other members of the family.” (Alexandria’s mum)

Sustrans Hands Up Survey Results

Between 7th – 11th September, our Junior Road Safety Officers carried out the Sustrans Hands Up Survey by visiting all classes in the school.

As you can see from the chart below lots of the boys & girls at Lawmuir are travelling to school in a healthy way.

The most popular method of transport by a long way is by walking to school. Well Done everyone! Keep it up!
