Welcome to Room 11 Primary 3!

General Information 

Please ensure you have a pair of shoes such as plimsolls or trainers to change into inside the school building.  Time spent outdoors and in the woods means that outdoor shoes make the carpets dirty! Our House Captains will carry out spotchecks and you can earn points for your House by making sure you have your indoor shoes on!

Our P.E. days are a Tuesday and Friday so please remember your P.E. Kit.  – blue polo shirt and navy/black shorts. If your indoor shoes are plimsolls, you can bring a separate pair of trainers for P.E. as the hall floor can be quite slippy when running in plimsolls. Crocs cannot be worn as gym shoes.

To stay hydrated, children can bring a bottle of water to school.  Water is encouraged as it is the healthiest option.  Please avoid juice in bottles.  If juice is in the bottle, it can be taken at break and lunch.  Children will be given the option to get a cup from the office should they need a drink of water during class time if they have juice in their bottle.

Homework / Diary

Homework will be issued on a Monday and can be returned any time during the week.  All homework should be returned no later than Friday.  I appreciate how busy life is so if homework cannot be completed, please put a note in the diary.  Children, please take pride in completing your homework just as you would in the classroom.  The children and myself will add a comment about our behaviour, work or effort each week in the diary.  Parents / Carers should discuss this with the child  when the diary comes home on a Monday and then add your comment.

Meta-Skills

We have been learning about meta-skills. We have been learning about how to use the skills focusing, creativity and initiative.  Parent / carer, please ask your child about these skills and how they have been using them in the classroom.

Forest Schools

We have our forest school sessions on a Thursday between break and lunch.  Please remember to bring outdoor clothing and a change of (old) shoes.  We go out even when it’s cold and raining.  These sessions are child-led and allow them  opportunities to develop a variety of skills through hands-on interaction with the natural world.  The children love their time in the woods.
