A Busy Week in the Nursery

We have really enjoyed welcoming some of our new nursery children and their families this week.  Everyone has settled into nursery life really well and our returning children have been especially helpful showing their new friends all of the different areas of the nursery.

We were very excited this week when we found a bucketful of dinosaurs with a letter from Harry asking if we could look after them while he is on holiday.  We have been busy reading some of the Harry and his Bucketful of Dinosaurs stories and put out a dinosaur land for them to stay in.  The stories have given us even more ideas of things we can do about dinosaurs and we look forward to continuing with this theme next week.

A great first week back for Primary 6!

Wow – time flies when you are having fun! P6 have worked hard all week on lots of different activities. We are almost ready to agree and launch our Class Charter.

Here we are highlighting the Articles we think are the most important for us in Primary 6. We wonder if you will agree!

In our reflection this week…

Laurie-Anne I loved creating our holiday news book!

Amy : I learned about different synonyms. I really enjoyed graffiting my wall!

Rachel: I’m looking forward to finishing my jigsaw puzzle that’s all about me.

Ciara: In Maths I liked using my problem-solving skills to solve the numbersearch.

Kalanah: I enjoyed the maths challenge – it was easy and hard!

 

What a great week!

 

 

 

 

Keeping Young Children Safe Online

One of the many topics we will discuss at our ‘Meet the Teacher’ Evening (10.9.15 at 7pm) is how to keep your child safe online. Children love using technology and are learning to navigate websites, online games and consoles, and touch screen technology like ipads and smartphones from a younger and younger age.

To help you understand the full extent of online safety I would urge you to read the document which has been uploaded to the Useful Documents Page.

This document gives links to 7 of the most valuable websites and will give parents sound advice on a range of topics including:

Cyberbullying, Parental Controls, Social Networking, Gaming, Online Grooming, Apps and keeping Safe Online.

This is an excellent source of information for all parents with clear strategies about how to deal with all of these safety issues for our children.
