This year the lovely pupils of Room 17 will be taught by Mrs McGinty on a Monday and Tuesday, and Mrs Gilroy on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Miss Davies will be in class until morning break on a Wednesday and will cover French and outdoor PE. We have included some information which we hope you will find useful below:

Health and Wellbeing

Indoor PE – Monday morning.

Outdoor PE – Wednesday morning.

On an indoor PE day, pupils should come to school wearing a polo shirt with either the blue school jumper or grey school jumper/cardigan. They should wear their school skirt/trousers/shorts as usual with their gym shorts underneath. They should bring black gym shoes in their school bag.

On an outdoor PE day, pupils should come to school as they would for a normal PE day but with plain dark tracksuit bottoms or leggings in their bag along with sturdier trainers to change in to.

Literacy

At the moment pupils are working on one of 2 novels in class for the modelling block. During this time the class reading book will not come home but we would always encourage pupils to read something at home every day. If your child is struggling to find something to read, we have a well stocked library in class and can help them to find something that will help with motivation.

Numeracy

All pupils have made a great start with using Sumdog in school to help them with their progress in numeracy. They have logins for personal use at home and progress through the CfE outcomes can be monitored by both teachers. It really is a tried and tested (and sneaky/great fun!) way of helping your child to learn.

We hope to continue our blog this year to maintain links between school and home. If you have any issues or queries throughout the year, please contact either of us through the school office and we will do our utmost to help.

Mrs Gilroy and Mrs McGinty
