Pupil Council meetings take place weekly and all pupils have an opportunity to share their ideas for school improvement and learning ideas.
We have 3 Houses – Arran, Ailsa & Kintyre – Our school captains aim to motivate and inspire the other members of their house. We hold a variety of events and competitions throughout the school year.
All P456 had to write a speech and the whole school voted democratically to elect out captains, JRSO’s and RRS ambassadors.
The winning house each term wins a treat afternoon…. Our last winners decided on den building!
The pupils interpret the digital charts each week.
Our upper school pupils learn together in a P456 classroom.
The school values of Respectful – Responsible – Safe – Kind – Helpful – Tenacious permeates everything that we do. Our kind and nurturing ethos ensures all children feel supported, listened to and respected. Our older learners take on helpful roles of responsibility to help ensure this is a school that truly values pupil voice.
Home Learning Help
Please find attached the suggested learning grid for this week. In addition to these suggestion please keep reading! This is one of the most important skills to keep going. Books are available from school every Monday and if you have read everything in your colour band Jamie can put out more, just let us know. There are many games and activities you can play at home to keep up your maths skills and I can help if you need some new ideas.
Mrs Martin and I will host a virtual playtime on TEAMS this Thursday at 10.30am. We had a few people join last week and it was lovely to get a wee blether. As ever, if you have any question, queries, suggestion or ideas please let me know.
This week our learning theme is …..’Friends & Family’ ❤
The lending library has also been set up at school and will be available every Monday.
Hope you are all well. Remember to get in touch if you need any help, or have any suggestions for how we can better support your child’s learning. 😊

Here is a larger version of the ‘Daily Rigour’ for Maths
Mrs Holland will share spelling information.
All of this information has been emailed to individual families.
Since the school closure last month we have been monitoring learning and feel that most families prefer more child-led, activity-based learning than formal work. For this reason and to help support families who have children of multiple ages, starting this week we will be giving you a suggested learning theme! This will form a sort of ‘mini-topic’ similar to what we do in school. Each week there will be a separate learning grid from the Big Class and the Wee Class as well as ideas from the EYC – please share these with your child to see what interests them. Some activities will be the same and others will be more age/stage appropriate. These are suggested activities covering multiple curricular areas but we would encourage you to allow your child to develop their own ideas too 😊 and if they would like to learn about something that does not fit in with the theme, please allow them to pursue that interest!
Here is the grid for this week and out ADEVENTURE theme.

I encourage you to keep your children reading books that are age and stage appropriate and let me know if you do not have access to appropriate books or online reading material. Mrs Holland will post suggested weekly spelling to support a good pace of work. The websites your child can log onto for a variety of learning opportunities have been shared numerous times; if you are having any connection or usage problems please let me know and I will try and solve any problems.
I have send out emails to all learners/parents this week regarding home learning and to say another wee hello. I’m here to help! I am using the email address provided on your emergency contact details so if this requires to be updated please get in touch with myself or Mrs Hill. Thank you!
If you do want to complete more structured learning, here are some suggested activities:
I’ve emailed every family with the ZPD for each child and guidance to the books that should be read to encourage and extend progress.
This Week’s Writing Challenge
This week you could try some personal writing – you could write about your experience of lockdown so far. This could be part of a future generation’s history lesson!
Write about what it feels like to be on lockdown; what sort of activities you have done so far; what is a typical day like; what are the highlights/best bits; what do you miss the most?
If you do write about your lockdown experience, I’d love to see them – you can type it and email to me or take a photograph and send it to me!!
SPELLING
Pupils working on Spelling books D and E should now be focussing on Unit 14.
Pupils working on Spelling Book C should continue to work through the units focussing on a single sound at a time. They should also continue to revise the common word list at the front of their book.
All units have now been added to spelling city and the login/password for this was emailed before the holidays.
If any help is required with spelling please email Mrs Holland 🙂 Amanda.holland@south-ayrshire.gov.uk

Parents who have had children at nursery will already be familiar with the school. The staff in Fisherton Primary work towards creating a happy, relaxed learning atmosphere where your child will be encouraged to participate in the life of the school, to work hard and to strive to achieve the best possible for himself/herself.

Every month we join with Maidens Primary for outdoor learning in our local area. All pupils, from nursery to P7, have an opportunity to learn in the outdoors and make new friends.
We were also lucky enough to visit a local dairy farm and learn all about ‘The Journey of Milk’.
We held a Harvest Assembly and invited our families to join us. At the assembly we launched our new school values.
Safe – Helpful – Kind – Respectful – Responsible – Tenacious
We also sent our harvest hampers to elderly members of our community. Families and staff members donated items for these hampers.

We decided the ‘Kind’ should be one of our school values. We were delighted when Owen Kerr signs launched a ‘Kind Kid’ campaign and were very grateful to receive one of the free signs offered to all South Ayrshire schools.
We supported this charity by wearing PJ’s to school and inviting our families to join us for breakfast. All families and staff member donated to this appeal and we had a lovely morning of munching.
