This week, Mrs Johnston has set another food challenge – this time to make delicious Crunchie Fudge!
The boys and girls in our school tried this a couple of weeks ago on our online learning and the results were amazing, so we know you will enjoy it too.
You will need 400g milk chocolate, 4 pack of crunches, 15g unsalted butter, a teaspoon of vanilla essence, a small tin of condensed milk.
There are two options -for best results use a slow cooker, but you can also make it using a pot too.
Please share your creations with us and enjoy your treat 🙂
This week is sports week too – Mrs Callander will be posting a different sports
day video on Twitter each day at 11:30am and we hope you will give them a try.
Remember to share your photos/videos with us.

Hello boys and girls,
We have another busy week planned. If you click on the ‘read along’ tab you can join Mrs Brown for a Teddy Bear Picnic story with lots of activities that you can complete afterwards.
It has been perfect weather for a picnic recently, so why not make your own ice lollies to take with you and your teddy bears? Mrs Brown has set the challenge this week – give it a go! I wonder what kind you will make?
Some of the ladies are going back to the nursery building this week to get organised and planned for August and some of us are also continuing to volunteer in the Hub schools for key worker children, what have you got planned for this week? Let us know on Twitter or by pressing the Sharebutton from the main toolbar.
Have another great week, stay safe and we will see you soon!
You could look at the front cover of the book and ask your child – What do you think is happening? What food do you have at a picnic? You should go and get your own teddy bears to join you for the story. What colours can you see in this illustration? How many bears can you count?
DURING THE STORY You should listen to the story once all the way through using our Three Read Approach.
On the second read you could pause the video and use the subtitle questions to help your child think more deeply about the story and share their ideas.
On the third read you could mute the audio and ask your child to read the story to you.

We hope you had fun with the scavenger hunt last week and enjoyed Mrs Brown’s bedtime story on Friday night. If you missed it, don’t worry – you can watch it here.
We are in a new month now – the month of June. June is national smile month so we have included some resources below that you could explore all about smiling and looking after those teeth 🙂
Monday 1st June is also national Butterfly Awareness Day, so it is a great time to watch Mrs Smith’s butterfly video and make some paper butterflies if you haven’t had the chance yet. We would love to see them.
Look what else is new this week:
You will find a letter from the Executive Director for Education and Convenor of Education in the “Moving to Primary 1” section from the main toolbar.

North Lanarkshire Council are offering support to parents, families and children who may be anxious, stressed, worried and emotional for themselves and their loved ones.
We recognise that these anxieties can greatly affect ‘sleep’ which is a natural process. We all need sleep and our health and wellbeing could be greatly reduced by not getting enough sleep, particularly at these challenging times.
To help cope with these stresses, support through SLEEP COUNSELLING will be offered to those in need and a qualified sleep counsellor will be at hand to answer questions, suggest ideas, offer visuals and strategies or even just be a listening ear to help reduce any anxieties to our parents and families that lead to poor sleep hygiene.
The Education Psychology Service in North Lanarkshire is providing home consultation support to help manage stresses during this difficult time. Telephone: 01236 812380 between 10am – 3pm Monday to Friday and leave a message for someone to call you back.
I hope that you are all well and enjoying this lovely weather. Please find attached a letter from Derek Brown, Executive Director of Education and Families.
