Good Morning,

I can’t believe this is your final week of Primary 7 at Auchinraith! I know some of you have attended transition events at your new secondary schools, I hope it all went well. I am looking forward to seeing you at our special P7 ceremony on Tuesday 23rd at 1.30pm. Remember to wear full school uniform and please bring along your old class novels (Eleventh Orphan/Falcon’s Malteser). I have attached some suggested summer themed learning activities below for you to try this week.

IMS pupils across South Lanarkshire have been developing their skills as part of the Make Your Own Kind of Music project, please take a look at the video using the link:    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MP-WWCOPgW0

Boys and girls, it’s been a pleasure teaching you and I have very fond memories of you all from our time together in Primary 4 and 7.  I would like to thank you for all of your hard work and effort throughout the year, I am very proud of you each and every one of you. Remember to always follow your dreams and reach for the stars!

See you all on Tuesday.

Miss Weir

Good Morning Primary 7,

I hope you all had a lovely bank holiday weekend and managed to get outside when the weather started to clear following a stormy start! I spent the weekend baking and going for walks when it was dry, what have you all been up to?

I have attached three documents for this week’s learning tasks: literacy, numeracy and a P7 transition activity. Please try to give these tasks a go and complete to the best of your ability.  Also, incase you haven’t noticed, there are sections at the top righthand side of the school blog for healthy living, music and additional reading resources, please take a look at these for lots of fun activities and top tips to help us all during these difficult times.

You may have noticed on the app that we have started to plan for our end of year P7 celebrations, and we would like you to send a baby picture and a more recent picture of yourself to Mrs McCulloch. In order to feature in our P7 montage , you should email both of these photographs to  gw14auchinraithht@glow.sch.uk by Friday 29^th May 2020.

If there is anything that you are stuck with, please remember to post on the blog and I will be happy to explain things further if needed. I will be online between 2pm and 3pm everyday to answer any questions. I look forward to hearing how you all get on!

Stay safe everyone,

Miss Weir

Hello Primary 7,

I hope you and your families are safe and well, I am missing you all very much! It has been lovely to see your photographs and find out what you’ve been up to over the last few weeks. I hope you have been able to take advantage of the lovely sunny weather that we’ve been having!

From now on, I will be uploading home learning tasks to the blog on a weekly basis. It is important that you do what you can as you continue to practise and consolidate learning, this will help you to be the best you can be as you prepare to move onto high school.

It would be great to hear from you all, so please post back and let me know how you are getting on or if you have any questions about the tasks set.

Take care boys and girls,

Miss Weir
