We are outstanding a few books from last week – please return these to school as soon as possible.

Reading for enjoyment picture books will only be issued every 2 weeks from now on, therefore no new books will be taken home this week. Please return existing books to school this Friday 30th Oct. Don’t forget to use the 3 sharings when discussing the story at home:

A Certificate of Wider achievement is saved in the files tab within Teams – you can either print this & complete it at home or let us know if you would like one issued from school.

P1P/P1S – Wider Achievements

Leave a comment

Cartoon Stars N2 free image

Each week at our assembly we share and acknowledge any wider achievements the children may have attained outside of school. This may be reaching a new level at swimming, taking part in a tournament or being awarded a new badge at Rainbows or Cubs. Please be aware it does not need to be club or sports related or winning an award. You may feel your child deserves recognition for other things they are a part of outside of school. They may have raised money for a charity. Or perhaps they regularly help with family members in some way.

Due to current restrictions we may not be made aware of such achievements as the children are unable to bring any badges, medals or cups into school. Therefore, we need your help to ensure they are still receiving the congratulations they deserve. Please let us know if your child has been a part of something that deserves recognition. You may do this by emailing the information. If your child has a new badge or cup or medal to show, please also send a photograph. This could even be posted on our Teams page for everyone to see. We will then make sure the information is shared at our next assembly. We have lots of achievers in our school and this deserves to be shared and recognised.

A copy of an achievement certificate can be found in our Files tab on Teams. Please print this off, complete it on behalf of your child and present it to them at home. If you are unable to print the certificate at home, please let us know and we will organise for one to be issued.

Good afternoon! We hope you are having a wonderful October break and are looking forward to hearing all of your stories when we return to school for the start of term 2. Please remember Monday is an in-service day and school is closed. We return on Tuesday 20th.

Homework for the coming week will be set as assignments on Teams and will go live on Tuesday morning. Reminders can be found below.

SIGHT WORDS: We have learned another 2 sight words (for and on) and these have been added to our flashcards folder on Teams.

READING: Wordless reading books will be issued on Tuesday. The children should look at the pictures carefully and retell the story through what they see. Being able to use picture cues in this way is a very good reading skill for them to learn. This will also allow them to build on their comprehension skills. Please return the books to school on Friday as this will allow us to quarantine them ready for the following week.

A wee reminder that, if you haven’t already done so, please return any overdue Reading for Enjoyment books to school.

MATHS: Our task for this week will be set as an assignment on Teams.

 

  1.  Details of our lunch menu can be found here. If you are having a having a school lunch, please remember to discuss the options with someone at home so you are aware of what you are having before coming to school.

  4. Read & Munch will be on Friday. You may bring in a book from home to read in class. Please remember any snack you bring for our Read & Munch session should be a healthy one: fruit or vegetables.
  5. If you have yet to do so, please return the data forms to school as soon as possible. This will allow the office staff to ensure we have the most up-to-date information on file.

As always, any questions, just ask. Enjoy the remainder of our October break.
