This afternoon Primary 1-3 walked to Ravenswood Primary to school to watch a magic show all about road safety!  It was so much fun and we learned how to be really safe when crossing the road.  Remember to always…

STOP!

LOOK!

LISTEN!

THINK!

Tomorrow afternoon we will be talking about and drawing our favourite part of the show! 😉

Today we completed the last of our Show and Tell of our fabulous homework!

The children did so well presenting their work to the class and should be very proud of themselves.  Thank you so much for all the effort that went into this.  I hope you don’t mind us holding onto the presentation pieces for a little while longer.

All pieces are on display in the school – even the powerpoint presentations –  which have been printed out to display.  Miss Ferguson is planning to complete a ‘walk round’ to view all of this wonderful homework in school.

It has been so lovely to find out more about all of the primary ones in this way.

Rhyme of the Week

Our focus rhyme this week is ‘5 Little Speckled Frogs’

Primary 1’s gym days are Thursdays and Fridays.  A change of indoor shoes and shorts and t-shirt is needed then.

If possible, it would be easier for changing if your child wore a polo shirt on these days and not a shirt / shirt and tie.

Many Thanks for your continued support.

There have been a few items of clothing and other property left behind, been mixed up with other pupils,  clothing not claimed and clothing and accessories still missing.

I have set up a lost property box which I will bring out with me at the end of every day for parents and carers to have a look in to see if you can identify any of your child’s things.

To help make sure that clothing etc. is easily found please label everything with your child’s name, including gym kit, shoes and ties – When changing for gym there are a lot of loose items in the class!

This would really help.  Thanks so much!

Just a wee reminder to return all pupil information forms to school as soon as possible, if you haven’t already done so.  Once all data and photograph permission slips are returned I will then be able to continue posting photos on the Blog of your children’s learning, if you have given permission to do so.

Many Thanks.
