Hi everyone,

How are you? I hope you enjoyed the sunshine yesterday. Can you believe that it is the last full week of Primary School?

I hope that you can enjoy this week as there are lots of exciting things happening! It’s Sports Week and although we can’t all be together for it Mr Campbell has put together some fun activities for you to do with your family. It’s also Burnside’s Got Talent Week! I know that you are all a talented bunch so I hope that some of you have made a video to share on the school twitter page. This week you are also getting the chance to visit your high school if you are going to Stonelaw or Cathkin. It really is a busy week!

Remember to send me a P1 photo of you and also a video sharing some of your memories from Burnside or your plans for future!

This week there are less activities because you have so many other exciting things going on. As always, you can choose the order and number of tasks you complete depending on your access to a quiet space and the internet. Remember to email if you need any help with anything.

Have a great week and stay safe!

Hi everyone,

Welcome back! It’s week 4 already! I hope you have had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the extra two days break from school work.

It was great to see so many of you last week especially as you all look happy and healthy. Thank you to so many of you who sent through photos of your virtual Lockerbie activities and you  wearing your leaver hoodies. They all made me smile.  If you haven’t sent a photo through yet there is still time, it would be great to have photos of all the P7s!  Also if you would like to add a song to the P7 playlist you can let me know before Thursday.

If you are going to Stonelaw High School in August then keep an eye on this page for transition information which is starting today 11 May –

Hello everyone!

We are in Week 3 and this would have been our residential week at Lockerbie Manor! I know that you are all so sad that you are missing it, I am too. I was so looking forward to spending time with you all outside the classroom. However, Miss McKinnon, Mr Campbell and I are determined to make this week lots of fun with virtual Lockerbie Activities.  The Wednesday Challenge should also make you smile as you will get to chose a challenge that I will do too. The more who take part the worse my challenge will be ! What am I letting myself in for! More will be revealed on Wednesday!   

The key thing this week is to have as much fun as you can, connect with your classmates and to share photos and videos with your adult’s permission with me so that I can put together a virtual Lockerbie slideshow. The more you share the better it will be. I will also put together a Primary 7 playlist for you to listen to and maybe you can organise a silent disco/video disco with it at home!   

The suggested timetable below also contains maths and literacy activities and as always you can choose the number and order which you complete them in.   Remember that Thursday and Friday are school holidays so the timetable is only for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Can’t wait to hear from you all. Have a fun week!

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well and you have had a fun weekend in the sunshine.

I have managed to do some gardening and I am delighted that my plants that I’ve grown from seeds are almost ready to go out into pots in the garden. Has anyone else managed to plant any seeds? I also took Noya for a lovely walk along the Clyde Walkway. It was really beautiful and the River Clyde was so clean.

             

I have put together a timetable of activities for this week. Remember that these are just suggestions and you can choose the order and the number that you complete.  If you have any questions or need any help with anything please get in touch.  I am always happy to hear from you! I also love seeing the work you are doing.

Hi everyone,

I hope you and your families are all well and managed to have fun during the spring break.

It’s strange still to be at home but it’s also important to keep everyone safe. In the meantime, I will be posting a weekly timetable with resources and will also add in some videos, challenges and photos to brighten up your week. Some of you have sent me photographs of the things you were doing before the break and I will put these together on the blog for you all to see.  

During the break I read lots of books and made sure I got outside for exercise and fresh air everyday. Let me know what you have been doing and how you are all feeling. Its always great to hear from you all.

This weeks timetable is in the link below. Remember that you can choose  the number of activities and the order you complete these depending on your access to a study space and the internet. If you have any questions or difficulty accessing any of the resources please let me know.
