It was great to see some of your happy faces yesterday – it really made my day! Keep an eye on our Twitter page and if I am in school jotters will be availabe in the playground – if you are passing on your daily exercise. Please remember to socially distance.

It is another long weekend and I know the teachers have been posting ideas all to do with VE day – please post any VE day celebrations or activities into Teams.

Here are some ideas you could do for a virtual VE day stay at home celebration.

Mrs Reid has been busy setting up the online House Points – she will keep track of any that have been awarded and if you are in P4-P7 take part in our Accelerated Reader Challenge to get additional House Points. Details are below.

Reading Challenge House Point Competition

We are challenging all children in Primaries 4-7 at Holmston Primary to read as many words as they can over the month of May.

Our target number of words is 1,000,000.

So far pupils have read 188,160 words.
We will be tracking the number of words read through Accelerated Reader. Children in Primaries 4-7 all have a username and password for this. Each time they complete a quiz the number of words in the book they have read is recorded. We will add these up to get the total number of words for each child, each class and the school collectively.

The child in each class that has read the most number of words each week will be awarded 10 House Points.

Come on Holmston. Let’s be millionaire readers!

Have a great long weekend and we’ll be back on Monday! Stay safe!
