On Friday, we completed a task given to us by the parent council. They set us an ‘apprentice’ style task to make products to sell at the Christmas fair whilst working out cost of materials, selling price, margin and marketing strategies. We really enjoyed the afternoon and hope people like our creations should they buy one! We hope you like the pictures of our creative process!

Would all P6 and P7 Eagles please  bring a clean empty milk carton (any size) for House Art Day next Friday.  You can bring your cartons to Mrs Ferguson’s class any time before next Friday. If you have a couple, maybe you could bring a spare one in case someone forgets.

See you next Friday.

Mrs Ferguson

As it is a short week, there will be no reading books home.  You could read your library book, Bookbug books or play teach your monster to read.

In class we will be playing some language games.  Why don’t you try them at home.

the painting game,fishing bowl game  and the 3 letter wordmaker game.

There are no new sounds this week.  We will still practise our wordwalls and do a maths challenge.

Just a reminder – Wednesday is the St Andrews Day holiday and Friday is the House Christmas Art Day. Please wear house colours and clothes you can get a bit messy in.

Read and Munch will be on Thursday this week.

Phew !!!!!!

We showed our tennis skills this week, working with our partners on a rolling rally. Watch out Andy Murray.

We investigated old toys we were able to borrow from Paisley Museum – skipping ropes, cups and balls, a diablo and pick up sticks.

We had a great time visiting Scotland Street School today. We were able to learn more about toys and games from the past, in relation to our topic. The children were also given an experience of the way that a classroom would have been organised in the past.
Thank you very much to our parent helpers for coming along. Here are some photos from our visit.

We had a wonderful trip today to Scotland Street School with the children learning lots about toys old and new and what school was like in the olden days!  They were commended by Iain our guide on their fabulous behaviour and manners! Well done!

Last week we began learning ‘Away in a Manger’ for our Christmas performance.  It would be great if you could keep practising it at home.  Thank you!

Dear Parent/carer,

Your child has been completing an online profiling resource, My Merit since the beginning of Primary 7. This is the profiling resource that continues on to Park Mains High School and helps your child to record their personal achievements, both in and out of school.

Please ask your child to show you their online profile by logging on to https://www.mymerit.net/. Your child has their Username and Password. They will continue to add to their profile throughout the year and will start to upload files (images and photos) as evidence. Please complete the tear-off slip below and leave any comments once you have read their profile

Many thanks,

Miss McDowall and Mr McAvoy

We had more great traditional toys for Show and Tell today! The children enjoyed seeing both of the traditional toys from the past which we have been talking about in our topic.

Hello.

Homework for P2H this week is as follows:

• fiction reading book
• spelling sound ‘ll’
• maths homework on Wednesday on number bonds of 16

I have also sent home the children’s lines from the poem ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’, which they will be performing at our Nativity. We will be practising in class over the next few weeks. However, I will ensure that the children take their parts home each day, to allow them to practise at home if they wish.

Have a lovely evening!
Miss Hamilton

Hi everyone

I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

As part of National Book Week, we have all been introduced to the website ‘Teach Your Monster to Read.’ We have created a monster online and these will be sent home tomorrow for you to keep. All children have been issued with usernames and passwords which they will be using in school. You may also use these usernames and passwords to play at home.

Pupil profiles will be emailed out this week on Friday. These will give you the opportunity to see some of the work that we have been doing in P2/1 so far.

As always, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Miss Cruickshank
