A mixed emotions message today. Excited that you will soon be on your Summer Holidays but incredibly sad that I haven’t seen you for over 3 months. I hope everyone is well and looking forward to some down time.

Our last 3 days look like this.

Monday- Sports Day (details and updates are on the school Facebook and Twitter pages)

Tuesday – Virtual class Teddy Bear’s Picnic (time to be confirmed)

Wednesday – School Farewell Tea live from St. Mary’s via Teams @11am

We have come so far since the start of the year, we have developed a whole new range of vocabulary and technology skills. Who knew in August that by June we would all know about the R-number, social distancing, social isolation, shielding and the 2 metre rule to name but a few. They certainly didn’t form part of my teaching plan that’s for sure. However, he we are, connected virtually. I hope you get a chance to join me on Teams on Tuesday for a class celebration.

Thank you so much for all the adaptations you have made and for all you have done for your children this year, before and after Lockdown. Your support has meant a lot. Hopefully the sun shines for us over the summer.

Warmest wishes Mrs Craig

Primary 3: Last Week of School

Hi everyone!

We hope you are well and are looking forward to a wonderful summer holiday starting on Wednesday afternoon. Can you believe the children were last at St. Mary’s THIRTEEN weeks ago now? And look at how much they have all achieved within that time. From becoming technology whizzes and tackling new online platforms like GLOW, Teams and Epic, to enhancing their learning and knowledge of the great outdoors, to becoming super duper helpers at home. None of this could have been achieved without the incredible support and help from everyone at home. So a huge, heartfelt THANK YOU from us to you.

We have a brilliant week ahead which starts with our NLC Monday Sports Day, followed by our P3 virtual class party on Tuesday afternoon and finishing up with the whole school virtual tea party on Wednesday. All of the details for these can be found in the ‘THE LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL!’ folder on teams. I have also attached the information below for your convenience.

Have a fantastic week and we hope to speak to as many pupils as possible at our party on Tuesday.

Kind regards,

Mrs. Mori and Mrs. Schammas xx

P1-2 Home Learning- Last full week

Hello everyone,

It’s hard to believe that this would have been our last full week of learning in school. At this point we would have been winding down and completing lots of fun activities so that’s what I’ve tried to do with our Home Learning this week.

I have uploaded an End of Term Activity Booklet. From here you can choose a virtual day trip, numeracy, craft activities etc. If you click on the Go link it will take you interactively to a new site. I particularly love the idea of creating a Lockdown Time Capsule and information and resources on how to do this are included.

I have also included a Talk for Writing called Brian Bear’s Picnic. I would love us to have a virtual picnic and will schedule a day in the final week for us to have a Teddy Bear’s Picnic and we can hopefully share our pictures with each other. (Day to be confirmed)

Finally for those that have been completing a wellbeing journal there are 2 pages left. We will also keep up to date with the Caterpillars’ Journey so keep an eye on our class story.

All that is left to say is, have the best week and keep learning. I can’t quite believe the challenges that this term has brought to all our doors but here we all are, still surviving and even better than that we are doing these things in style; learning, caring and looking out for each other and hopefully still squeezing in a whole lot of fun.

I miss every one of you x

Take Care

Final Full Week of P7!

Hello Everyone,

I can’t believe we have reached your final full week of Primary 7! Emotions will be running high this week for you all (hence why one of my tasks is completing an Emotional Rollercoaster) , but I can assure you I have lots of nice things planned 🙂

Firstly, I hope you are all safe and well and looking forward to a great summer before your exciting new venture begins. ❤️🌈

I have attached a suggested timetable of activities. All other work for this week has been uploaded to the Files section of Teams, you will notice that lots of my activities are linked to the End of Term Activity Book (I have only suggested a few but feel free to do as many as you like, you just click the “GO” link which takes you directly to the websites).

Also there is no spelling tasks this week, I thought that would be too harsh 😉 All Literacy tasks are linked to Leavers activities or getting ready for high school, I’ve kept them fun and simple!

Please all get involved in our last P7 Sumdog challenge – same time as usual (Thursday @ 10am), you won’t want to miss it!

As you know I’m in this school this week so may take longer than normal to reply, but sending my love and lots of hugs – I really can’t believe I have to let my wonderful class flee their primary nest… I will miss you all very much 😢

Have an absolutely fantastic final full week 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Take care,

Miss Coyle.

P3 Term 4 Week 9 Home Learning

Dear Parents,

Wow, it’s hard to believe that we are now in the final full week of the school year! It has been an interesting term, to say the least! Thank you to EVERYONE for your positivity, hard work and perseverance during this incredibly challenging time in all of our lives.

Last week Mrs. Schammas and I were in school preparing the classrooms for the return of everyone in August. We will continue to be in school this week as well as working in the hub school so apologies if we take longer to reply to messages.

This week your child has been assigned lots of fun end of term activities. There is no home learning schedule this week. Instead, you should access the ‘P3 End of Term Fun’ folder and work through the set activities according to your own schedule. Once these activities have been completed, please take the rest of the week to complete any outstanding tasks or activities that have been assigned throughout this term. Don’t forget to also make use of Sumdog, IDL and Epic!

In addition, the school is making a collection of home learning photos. Please can you email (to Mrs. Mori) any home learning photos that you would like to share by the end of the week. Many thanks!

Finally, please Save The Date for our Primary 3 End of Year Class Party on Tuesday 23rd June at 2:00pm. This will be conducted virtually on Microsoft Teams, more exciting details to follow.

Have a wonderful week!

Mrs. Mori and Mrs. Schammas xx
