Leo’s Adventures: Sunday 29th March

Hi Everybody 🐾🐾

I hope that you have all had a great weekend. We are so lucky that the sun shone. I hope that you all had fun outside in the fresh air in your gardens.

I had a great time with Mrs S and her family. We spent lots of time outside doing jobs in the garden.

I had a nice time painting stones with Kirsty.

Playing on the trampoline and trying my version of the monkey bars 😅

We had fun trying out the toilet roll challenge.

I hope you all had as much fun as me. I think I’ll sleep well tonight.

Night night,

Love Leo xx 🐾🐾

 

Leo’s Adventures: Friday 27th March

Hello Everybody 🐾🐾

I hope you all had a great day. The end of your first week of learning at home, well done.  Mrs S says that you have all been amazing! You have been patient when the computers have been a bit slow, and when the teachers have been trying out new links. Thank you 👍🌟

The best bit of my day was when I managed to speak to a few of you on a call. It was lovely to hear those little voices,  and Miss Mia’s giggle 😅

Mrs S says that Miss G is going to try a video call next week. That will be so exciting so 🤞 it all works.

Enjoy the weekend, time away from screens and playing safely in your gardens.

Love Leo xx 🐾🐾

 

 

Leo’s Adventures: Thursday 26th March

Hi Everybody 🐾🐾

I am very sorry but Mrs S was so busy on Teams yesterday that she forgot to help me to write my diary 😯

It was quite a quiet day with everyone working hard. I spent quite a lot of time practising my French with Pierre 🇫🇷

I wonder if you are as good as me at counting to 20 in French, and then back again.

Today I chased the chickens in the garden. I was so fast that Mrs S couldn’t take a photo of me 😹🐔🐔🐔🐔.  Later on I hid in the laundry basket, nobody found me for ages!

I only came out when I smelled the fish and chips for tea.

Before bed, I went outside with Mrs S and her family to clap and cheer for the fabulous NHS workers who are doing such an amazing job at keeping us as safe as possible. Ewan played his pipes, and lots of people cheered.

Sleep well.

Love Leo xx🐾🐾

Leo’s Adventures: Tues 24th March

Hi Everybody 🐾🐾

I hope you’ve all had a busy day. Look where I managed to sneak into…….

I just love Shreddies! I wonder what your favourite cereal is?

It was a bit colder today, but I still played in the garden with the chickens. They can run pretty fast you know.

I kept Mrs S company while she was working. She was very excited when she had a video call with the other P2 Teachers! I think they all miss each other too.

I hope you are all having lots of fun, and learning lots of new things at home.

Love Leo xx 🐾🐾

 

Leo’s Adventures : Monday 23rd March

Hi Everybody,

Another busy day for me. The morning was pretty quiet as Mrs Simpson and Ewan and Kirsty were busy on Microsoft Teams. It appears that everyone is working from home on computers. It’s all a bit odd, and I heard Mrs S saying things were taking a bit longer than planned, but nobody was to worry about it.

After lunch I watched Kirsty make some fairy cakes. We enjoyed them later on, once everyone had finished working for the day.  They were yummy 😋

Then I helped Mrs Simpson to clean her utility room. More sorting! It was pretty tiring work.

I hope you all had a good day.

Night night.

Love Leo xx 🐾🐾

Leo’s Adventures: Sunday 22nd March

Hi Everybody 🐾🐾

I hope that you all had as much fun in the sunshine as I did.

This morning I helped Ewan and Kirsty to make breakfast for their mum, Mrs Simpson. She was very lucky to get her favourite, avocado 🥑 on toast, croissants 🥐, orange juice and tea………..yum yum!

Then I helped Mrs Simpson to measure safe distances on her patio so that she could have a bit of time with her mum. Her mum and dad live right at the end of her house in a little flat.

Afterthat I played in the garden with Ewan and Kirsty, helped Mrs S to clean the wedge ready for writing on next week, watched her hang out yet more washing (I counted the pegs in pairs, right up to 48) and then we tidied up her shed. Lots of sorting 😀

We had a tasty dinner, and now I’m going to snuggle down to sleep on her giant beanbag.  Kirsty has promised to read me Rumble in the Jungle, I love that book.

Maybe you could start to write a little diary of the things you get up to, and we could look at it together when we’re back at school.

I hope you’ve all had a great day too. Sleep well my friends.

Love Leo xx🐾🐾

Hi Everybody,

I have had a lovely day playing in Mrs Simpson’s garden. I played hide and seek in the daffodils with her chickens.

Then I chased Ewan’s drone. It landed on a neighbours house roof……..oops! Luckily Mr Simpson was able to reach it with his very tall ladders.

We had homemade lasagne for tea, it was delicious!

Now I’m snuggled up on the sofa, waiting to watch Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Take Away, before bed.

Sleep well everybody.

Love Leo xx 🐾🐾

 

 

PE Kits ⛹️‍♀️

I hope you have been enjoying playing outside in your gardens, in this lovely Spring sunshine ☀

For those of you who were off school last week, I have your PE kits safely stored in my house. They have had a hot wash and a nice time blowing in the breeze on my washing line, before being packed away into our blue kit box for safe keeping.

Mrs Simpson 😀

  • Maths homework grid – A reminder that one activity should be completed per week. Please support or challenge your child as you see fit.
  • Birthdays – We have been learning about the months of the year in French, and have been singing along to a French birthday song.  We have gone over when everyone’s birthday is but some children are still a little unsure.  It would be greatly appreciated if you could help your child with this at home by checking they know when their birthday is.  Many thanks.
  • Scottish Poems – Our Scottish assembly is fast approaching and we are looking forward to hearing the children recite their poem at some point this week.
  • Shoe box donations – Thank you so much for all of your kind donations of shoe boxes. We still require quite a few more per class and ask that you continue to send these in if you can.  Could you please ensure that the shoe boxes you hand in have a completely removable lid.
