P1 arrangements Day 1

 

On your child’s first morning we would like to create the opportunity for you to see where they will line up each morning. We hope to do this as quickly as possible so that we can get the children into their new class and settled for the morning. The plan is as follows:

You will by now have had a text reminding you of your child’s teacher’s name.

Parents should congregate outside the schools main doors.

At 9:30am Mr Creighton, Acting Head Teacher and Miss Sangster, Acting Depute Head Teacher and other members of staff will come out to meet you.

Mr Creighton will call the children and parents from P1/2 Mrs Mathieson’s class first and will lead you through the side gates that your child will use each morning after this.

Mrs Sangster will follow on with P1 Mrs Russell and Mrs Hendry’s class.

You will be led round to the infant playground and each class of children will be taken to the spot where they will line up each day.

After a quick wave children will be taken into the building and Mr Creighton will escort parents back out to the side gate.

At the end of the day everyone has had a time slot to come along and visit the class while picking up their child.

Week Two

This week we have been learning all about Fairtrade products and where they are sold.  We were interested to find out what pupils of New Stevenston Primary already knew about Fairtrade so we organised an eight question survey.  Each group visited a different class and carried out the survey.This was difficult because we had to count the number of votes carefully. When we got back to class we put the results onto a bar chart. As a result of the survey we learned that most pupils in the school know what Fairtrade is and have bought Fairtrade products before. We also learned that most people would buy Fairtrade products if they were sold in school, which is great.

Week One

Primary 5 have been learning all about Fair Trade. This week we learned that Fair Trade is a foundation that works to give farmers in poor communities better lives. Fair Trade sells products at a price that ensures every farmer gets paid a fair amount of money. In groups we discussed how the money is split between the farmer, supermarket, shipper and plantation owner. We were shocked to find out that a banana farmer only receives 2p for every 30p banana sold. Hopefully we will learn about different ways that we can help Fair Trade farmers around the world.
