We are special, aren’t we?

This is displayed outside the classroom and updated weekly.

Here you will find:

Please take the time to discuss your child’s learning with them and find out what they have been learning in class.

It can be a good distraction if your child is upset in the line in the morning.

As always, your support is very much appreciated.

Today your child has come home with 3 important letters.

Please return these to the school as soon as possible.

One of the letters concerns our P1 Homework Workshop.

You are welcome to attend one session or both.

Please indicate on the form which support session you wish to attend and return as soon as possible.

We are getting very good in the dining hall. We sit beautifully for Fiona to invite us up for our lunch.

The packed lunches get a special table to sit at.

We wait in the queue with our trays and our coloured bands.

Fiona serves us at the hatch.

Today we made our big book of names.

We coloured our name in all the colours of the rainbow.

We tried hard to stay in the lines.

Then we posted our name in the big book at our letter of the alphabet.

Then we practised over writing our names and using our very own whiteboards.

Please ensure ALL your children’s belongings are labelled with their name.

There are a number of items with no names been left already.
