Mr. Clark’s Blog – Tuesday 20th October 2015

I had the pleasure of teaching Primary 5/6 all day today.  It was lovely to be a ‘class teacher’ for the day and to spend time sharing the learning of the children.  They were learning more about report writing today and the children were writing biographies of the American artist Georgia O’Keeffe.  The children’s reports were written in a factual way and each person was able to make good use of headings to organise their information.  I was very impressed with the quality of the writing.

In the afternoon, the children were creating art work in the style of Georgia O’Keeffe and this will be displayed in the school hall when it is complete.  I was very impressed with the children’s use of shape and bold colours to create their art.

The Primary 5’s enjoyed their fortnightly Kodaly music lesson with Mrs. McGregor today.  She is teaching them all about the rhythm of musical beat using ‘ta’ and ‘ta-te’.  I enjoyed hearing their songs when they returned to class.

Primary 2 have been busy learning the months of the year in maths with Mrs. McLean and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to their song today.  Their enthusiasm was evident with their big smiles as they sang.

The new ‘colour band’ system is proving to be very successful in the dinner hall, with all children getting their first choice again today.  I am very impressed with how quickly the children have taken to the new system.  Please continue to help your child decide what they are going to order each morning.  Remember that the menu can be found online.

The children in Primary 3 and Primary 4/5 are still working hard on the rehearsals for their Egyptian themed assembly which takes place on Friday 30th October at 9.30am.  All parents, carers and relatives of pupils in these classes are invited to attend.

Two weeks ago, the AGM of the Parent Council and the first meeting of the newly formed 2015/16 group took place in the school.  The minutes are available on the school website in the ‘Parent Council’ menu.  I am delighted that two local companies affiliated with the Parent Council are going to sponsor new football strips and tracksuits for the school and can’t wait for them to arrive.

At the AGM, Mrs. Linfoot joined the Parent Council as Staff Member, and Rev. Jonathan Abernathy-Barkley, the new school chaplain, was accepted as a co-opted member.  There is currently one vacancy on the Parent Council.  An information letter about this will be sent home this week with details of how parents can express an interest in filling this vacancy.

The Parent Council will be delighted to welcome all children to the Hallowe’en Disco next week.  It takes place on Tuesday 27th October 2015.  The Nursery children, P1 and P2 should attend between 5.30pm and 6.30pm.  P3-7 disco takes place between 6.45pm and 8pm.  £1.50 entry to be paid at the door.

If your child is the oldest member of your family in our P1-7 classes, they will have come home with the Parent Teacher consultation letters today.  These take place on Thursday 12th November 2015.  The letter allows you to select between the afternoon and evening sessions.  Please return the tear-off slip as soon as possible to class to allow the teachers to plan suitable appointment times.

Tomorrow is our weekly ‘Celebrating Success’ assembly.  Check out Twitter feed later on tomorrow to see photographs of the pupils who are celebrating success in and out of school.
