Langloan Primary School

This week would have marked one of the most important milestones in P7, the two day high school visit.  We realise that this is a very exciting and daunting time for everyone.  We have been sharing transition information from our high schools as and when we receive it, it can be found on the blog and I have also created a P7-S1 transition tab that we will be filling with info as and when we have it.  Keep an eye out here!

Mrs Waddell and I have been working hard to create transition day activities to help prepare the pupils for this event.  We will post a transition task everyday this week (Mon-Thurs) and it would be very helpful if your child completed these activities and if you spoke through them together.  We are more than happy to answer any queries pupils or parents may have so please do not hesitate to contact us. elainepaterson@langloan.n-lanark.sch.uk  We will post the activities on the blog, in Teams and on the Sharepoint.

Transition Task Day 1

In the first activity this week we will be thinking about your move to High School.  Moving from Primary to High School is all very exciting and new but at the same time it can be scary and daunting. Have a think about your hopes and what you are looking forward to.  Write down what you are excited about and subjects you are interested in learning.

Next, do you have any worries or concerns about starting High School? It does not matter how big or how small or how silly you think it is, sometimes putting it down on paper and trying to find a solution can make it seem a little better. Write down any worries or fears you have about leaving primary and starting secondary and rate them on how bad they make you feel on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being a little worried to 5 being extremely worried).

Then, write down some different ways that you can help to stop or ease these fears and worries you have. It can be something practical, solving the problem, talking to someone, finding out if it is true or not. Try to come up with a plan to help lessen your concerns.

Well done to McKenzy who won both competitions last week and to Isla, Maisie and Josh at the top of the leaderboard. I have left you all reward coins. Have a lovely weekend.

Hi Everyone,

Along with lots of other schools in our cluster, we thought we would do a Uniform Day on Thursday 21st May,  just as a little bit of fun for all of our pupils.

So get ready to pull on those Langloan uniforms for the day and have fun. We would love you to send your pictures in via email or post them on the Teams or SharePoint site.

The plan is to make a video collage of all of our entries so that we have something to look back on. can I ask that you spread the word to as many Langloan families as possible please as I know not everyone checks the website daily.
Thanks

Mrs Paterson

The nursery week 6 learning grid is now available.  This week’s theme is We’re Going on a Bear Hunt.  I will add this resource to the nursery tab to allow it to be accessed easily.

Week 6 – We’re Going on a Bear Hunt

Scottish Opera have created their first online interactive opera for children aged 8-12 years. This is called ‘Fever’ and is based on a child dealing with the current COVID-19 pandemic.

There are 5 songs in Fever! Each Monday, they’ll be posting a new set of exciting activities that work through them, song by song, including:

• lyrics and teaching guides to learn each song
• videos that teach some moves to go with them
• creative writing and science tasks to try
• tips to make simple props and costumes

Over the 5 weeks, you’ll learn the whole thing! Then, you have a special invitation to join them in a nationwide virtual performance from your own home.

Let me know if any of you are joining in 😊
