Jack and the Beanstalk (ADC)

Two weeks ago we planted cress seeds and bean seeds. Today we looked at how our plants had grown. We talked about the roots and shoots.

Some of our beanstalks have started to grow. We will see how tall our plants get. Maybe they’ll get really big and we can climb the beanstalk to the giant’s castle!! The children said that Mrs Carberry and Miss McInally have to wait at the bottom of the beanstalk with the axe…..just in case!

Fairy Stories

Over the last few weeks we have been focussing on the story of ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. We have all been working really hard and have lots of work up on the wall for everyone to see!

This week we have been reading the story of ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’. We have been participating in lots of activities such as;

  • acting out the story in the classroom
  • retelling the story and sequencing pictures
  • making playdough bowls, cottages, trees and hair for Goldilocks
  • singing the song ‘When Golidlocks Went to the House of the Bears’

Today we made and tasted porridge. It was not too hot, not too cold but was just right! We all loved eating the porridge and most of us had clean plates!

We used all of our sense to see, smell, taste and touch the porridge oats

Medicines and School Dinner Payments

Medicines at School

We have been reviewing our practice regarding the administering of medicine at school.

In line with Renfrewshire Council policy, we will continue to hold inhalers for Asthma sufferers and other medication that is ongoing and allows a child to come to school.

We will no longer administer “over the counter medication” such as Calpol, Ibuprofen or Piriton. We will no longer administer Penicillin or Antibiotics and advice is that doses should be timed around the school day.

Any medicines held in school must be supported by a consent form.
If you have any questions about this change in policy please contact the school.

Payment for school meals

The setting up of a breakfast club in the school brings with it some changes to payments for school meals.

Parents may pay for school meals at the school office as usual. Please ensure that your payments are receipted at that time.

Pupils may now bring money to Mrs Quinn in the school hall only at the morning interval. Again they must ensure that they get a receipt. Mrs Quinn will be cooking at other times and not available to handle money. Money for payment should not be brought into the hall during the lunch break while the staff are serving food.
