Calling all P6 and P7 falcons.  Can you please try and bring in an empty cereal box this week for House Art day on Thursday.  This can be given to Mrs Fulton or Mr McAvoy.  Thank you.  Looking forward to Art day on Thursday.

Mrs Fulton

We are hoping for the sun! Here are our wonderful sun pictures.

I hope you all had a great weekend.  This week is our last week.  School closes for summer on Wednesday at 1pm.  On Monday we will be bringing home our school work and gym bags.  Could each child please bring in a plastic bag for their school work.  They will also bring home their book bags.

Tuesday will be my last day with the class and I would like to take this opportunity to say what a joy they have been to work with this year.  Thank you for all of your support throughout the year.  Have a great summer.

Mrs Fulton

Fabulous talents on show this afternoon.  We also had a great quality audience.  Well done.

On Friday afternoon P2/1, P2 and P3/2 are having a mini talent showcase.  They will be allowed to perform in front of our 3 classes.  This could be magic tricks, jokes, dancing or singing etc. Children can bring in small props/ outfits to change into if they wish.  These should be brought in a bag to change into after lunch.  This is just for fun and also for children who may have been too shy to perform for the big talent show.  Pictures to follow tomorrow.  We can’t wait.

Mrs Fulton

Today we were learning about the pony and the belcher sea snake! Very interesting!

We have thoroughly enjoyed our first set of animal factfiles.

I hope you all had a great weekend and enjoyed some sunshine.

No homework this week.

On Wednesday we have our summer assembly.  All parents/ guardians are welcome.  This starts in the school gym hall at 9:30am.  Pupils have been practising some words and songs for this and are very excited to perform for you.  We would be very grateful if you would send in summer clothes for your child to wear for this assembly.  As we have our dress rehearsal on Tuesday we would be grateful if these clothes could be sent in today (Monday ) or Tuesday so they are in the class ready for the performances.  Summer clothes should be in a plastic bag clearly marked with your child’s name.  Thank you.

I hope you have a great week.

We had a great week last week and had a lovely visit from the RSPB.  We learned about different habitats and looked in the playground for habitats for creatures and animals.  This is related to our new topic.  Over the next few weeks we will continue to learn about different animals and will be researching our group animal.  We will also be creating our very own habitats.

For P.E sessions this term we are hoping to get outside as much as possible.  If possible, it would be great if pupils could bring some outdoor trainers in.  Our P.E sessions are first thing in the morning and the grass can have quite a lot of dew on it at that time.  Our P.e days are Monday and Friday.

Tomorrow we are having some sports day practise and it would great if we could wear our outdoor shoes for this also.

Thank you as always for all of your support.
