P1M & P1W – Digital Learning

March 22, 2020 gw18murrayhazel@glow Leave a comment

Good evening,

We hope you are enjoying your weekend despite the craziness that is going on around us. Our time in the classroom may be over, for now, however that doesn’t mean our learning will stop. Tomorrow brings a new way of learning ….. learning at home! To help with this we will be posting a copy of our weekly timetable on our Class Team pages tomorrow. This way you will be able to see what is coming up over the course of the week.

Each morning Miss Wilson and I will set daily assignments for you to complete. It is entirely up to you when these are completed throughout the day and in what order. Some of the tasks will be active whereas others will be written. The completed written tasks can be returned to us by attaching them to the original assignment. Please click here for details on how to complete this. Also, if you were in school last week, a blue jotter was sent home. Tasks may also be completed in this and checked by an adult at home rather than being submitted.

Remember, we will be available to help, if needed, so please use the chat facility on our Team page. You may also email us if you would prefer. We will be online from 9.00am until 3:15pm.

Every day, we would like all of you to ‘check-in’ with us by posting a reply to the ‘register’ which will be posted on our Class Team page each morning. We will say ‘Good Morning P1M/W’ and you can let us know you have read it at some point throughout the day by replying with a ‘hi’ or hello’.

Please remember, there will be teething problems until we settle into this new way of learning. However, if we all work together, we are confident it will all fall into place very soon. We are hoping that someone at home can send us photos, or videos, of you and your work, so we can see what you are getting up to.

Above all, please don’t worry about this next step in your child’s learning. We are here to help in any way that we can.

Please continue to practice our sounds and the sight words on your child’s word wall – all word walls will be saved to the class materials folder in the files section of your child’s class team. Tasks will be set each week relating to our new sounds/words however practicing all sounds and words would also be beneficial.

Please get in touch if you have any questions.

Good afternoon!

Tomorrow we begin a new journey together… learning at home! To help with this I will be posting a copy of our weekly timetable on our Class Team page. This way you will be able to see what is coming up over the course of the week.

Every day, I would like all of you to ‘check-in’ with me by posting a reply to the ‘register’ which will be posted on our Class Team page each morning. I will say ‘Good Morning P1C’ and you can let me know you have read it at some point throughout the day by replying with a ‘hi’ or hello’.

I am hoping that someone at home can send me photos, or videos, of you and your work, so I can see what you are getting up to.

Above all, please don’t worry about this next step in your child’s learning. I am here to help in any way that we can.

Please continue to revise our sounds and the sight words on your child’s word walls. On Friday, your child was given an extra word wall for when they have completed their current one. If your child was off I will email you a copy over the next few days. Tasks will be set each week relating to our new sounds/words however revision of all sounds and words would also be beneficial.

As always, any questions please ask.

Good morning,

Primary 1C had a brilliant day yesterday. We had a movie morning with P1-P3, a special golden time, our P7 buddies then surprised us and we got to sign their shirts! We then finished with Read and Munch.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to say I’ve had a great time teaching P1C! What an amazing first year in school they’ve had and they’ve been an absolute joy to teach. They all worked incredibly hard and I am so proud to have watched them grow in confidence. I have enjoyed getting to know them and thank them for their happy smiles and making me laugh everyday.

I will be online from 9am every weekday posting tasks and activities for your child. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you all for your continued support and kind words yesterday. Stay safe and I hope to see you all soon.

Just a wee reminder that all Glow emails have been issued. If you haven’t already done so, please help your child log on to their Glow account and leave a message on their class team. If new log in details are required, please let us know and we will reissue them. Also, if you are having any issues, please let us know as soon as possible.

Glow & Microsoft Teams

March 17, 2020 gw18murrayhazel@glow Leave a comment

Good morning,

Can we ask, if you haven’t already done so, to help your child log on to their Glow account. Log in details were issued to all children last week – please let us know if you need these to be reissued. Once you can access Glow, please click on the Microsoft Teams app on the Bishopton apps list and post a brief message on your child’s class Team. This will allow us to see who can get access.

If you have any problems with this, please speak to us as soon as possible.

Many thanks,

P1C – Glow and Microsoft Teams

March 16, 2020 Miss Cuthill Leave a comment

Good afternoon,

If you haven’t already done so, please help the children to log on to Glow and post a message (This is the Scottish Schools National Intranet, you can find it by searching Glow in Google.) This will allow me to check that everyone can access Glow at home. Further details can be found here. The children have been shown how to access Microsoft Teams, which is the app shown first on the Bishopton Apps List.

If you have any questions about this or require another copy of your child’s user name or password just let me know.

Many thanks,

Miss Cuthill

Big Pedal 2020

March 16, 2020 Mrs Ferguson Leave a comment

Good news ! The Big Pedal cycling, scooting and walking challenge is back. From Wednesday 22nd April to Tuesday 5th May we would like you to bring your bike or scooter to school every day. You will get the chance to bike or scoot with your classmates and your teacher. If you can’t bring a bike or scooter, you can walk and that will count too. For more information have a look at the Big Pedal website.

This is a national competition to see how many journeys we can make biking, scooting or walking. Please ask an adult to check that your bike or scooter is in good working order. You may bring a lock to use but you must be responsible for the key.

Rules – all cyclists MUST wear a helmet

– no cycling or scooting in the playground ( or the ashy path) unless you are with your teacher (on the way in/out, playtime and lunchtime)

We have taken part in this challenge for the last few years and it is always good fun. We are usually in the top 10. Let’s try for top 3 this year!

Happy cycling/scooting/walking

March 15, 2020 Mrs O'Neill Leave a comment

Good afternoon! I hope you are all having a lovely weekend. Homework and reminders for the coming week can be found below.

Sounds: This is a revision week for our sounds. Please continue to practice all of the sounds learned to date. These should be looked over as often as possible at home. To challenge your child, please ask them to think of/find something that begins with or contains that specific sound.

Word Walls: Please continue to check over these with your child as often as possible. Only the words highlighted in yellow should be practiced. Your child should also be able to use these words correctly in a sentence. Once we are seeing your child do so, with confidence, we will highlight the box green.

Reading: New reading books will be sent home by Tuesday. Please read them with your child, discussing the story/words. The children should sound out the words and, where necessary, use the picture cues to help them “read” the words.

Book Hunt: Thank you again for everyone who has been out hiding our books. We hope you have enjoyed it. Thank you also for emailing the photographs. It has been lovely seeing how excited the children are about it all. Hopefully you have still been able to find some books hiding if you are out and about over the weekend.

Maths: Please choose one of the dotted activities on the maths sheet. Once completed, please sign and date the sheet beside the chosen task.

Glow: The children have been issued with their Glow emails and password. If you haven’t already done so, please help the children to log on and leave us a message. This will allow us to check that everyone can access Glow at home. Further details can be found here.

H&WB: March school targets are being set with the children. If your child’s February target has been achieved, please set a new one for March with them.

P.E. will be on Monday and Friday. Please remember long hair should be tied back and earrings removed or covered.
Please remember to add any books your child has read to their Reading Challenge Passport.
Book bags should be checked each evening for homework and any letters which may have been issued. These letters should be removed from the book bag.
Read & Munch will be on Friday.

As always, if you have any questions regarding homework, please do not hesitate to contact us. This can be done via the blog or your child’s book bag.
