Well, with the first full week of the year under our belt, it is a great time to sit back for a moment and reflect on the start of a new session.\u00a0 It has been a pleasure to welcome back all our returning learners and get to know those pupils who are joining us for the first time.<\/p>\n
I must thank every family for all the effort that has gone into turning each pupil out in a uniform.\u00a0 Every Kirkshaws pupil is wearing their uniform with pride, from P.1 to P.7!\u00a0 Please remember we have a fairly healthy uniform bank of quality second hand uniforms.\u00a0 If you would like to add to your own uniform stock, simply give me a ring, or drop in at the school office.<\/p>\n
Primary 1 pupils are settling into their classrooms and school routines with ease.\u00a0 They are coping well with moving around the school and following instructions in the classroom, dinner hall and playground.\u00a0 Super Stars!\u00a0 On Friday they joined us for a little time at Assembly.\u00a0 We only expected them to stay for 20 minutes or so, but they stayed with us almost double that time!\u00a0 It won’t be long until they are just as involved as their older friends.<\/p>\n
As you can see, we are all settling into new classes and getting to know new teachers.\u00a0 Work in class is well under-way, but homework will not start for another week.\u00a0 Some pupils may bring home a reading book beforehand, but look out for homework grids coming home on Monday 3rd September.<\/p>\n
Weekly assemblies have started on Fridays, so remember to bring in any achievements from out of school so we can celebrate successes together.\u00a0 Our House Captains and Vice Captains have been elected and House Points are already being earned.\u00a0 P.7 monitors are helping in the infant playground, in classes and in the dinner hall.\u00a0 We have another responsible group of senior pupils this year who are shaping up to continuing the excellent example set by last years P.7s.\u00a0 So proud to have a school full of Responsible Citizens!<\/p>\n
It is shaping up to being another busy year…bring it on, Kirkshaws!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
