Parents/Carers Reading Survey

We would be grateful if you could complete the survey below on you child/ren.  The questions will inform our plans for our reading development so your views are very important.  Please do not overthink your answers – go with your ‘gut’ answer.  Please do not complete the pupil questionnaire below this on the Blog – as we are doing this in school with the children.

We really appreciate your views – we will share more information with you as this development progresses.

Thanks for your help.

P4 Egyptian Homework Challenge

A massive well done to P4 pupils for their amazing creations for the Egyptian homework challenge.  The challenge was to design and make something to do with the Egyptians.  The were encouraged to be as creative as possible.  We had everything from fact files to newspaper reports to masks to models … even some super Egyptian jewellery that Miss Armstrong modeled for us!

I was blown away by the obvious effort and the extremely high standard of the children’s creations!  Mrs Duncan and Miss Armstrong were very impressed too!

A HUGE thank you to all Parents and Carers for supporting your child with this activity.

A reminder that we have a class assembly on Friday 27th October at 11.45am.  We hope to see you all there to share our learning across term 1!

We hope you enjoy having a wee look at the amazing creations.

Well done everyone!  I am so very proud of every one of you 🙂

Pie, Peas (or Beans!) and Bingo Night

A very big thank you to the folks who organised the Bingo Night last night.  A fabulous £648.38 was raised.  It was a great night – thanks so much to all those who attended and contributed to this fantastic amount of money.  Harry Cartmill, one of our local councillors, made his debut as our Bingo Caller – well done and thanks Harry !

 

P2B 2 Stars and a Wish

1st Star:  We loved getting a letter from a pirate asking us to join his crew.  We were very excited about our pirate names and hats that we created.

2nd Star: We enjoyed using our imaginations to plan our own story.  We thought about when it happened, who our character was, where the story was set and what happened.

Wish: We would like to find out about how pirates use a treasure map.

P2B 2 Stars and a Wish

1st Star-  We really enjoyed learning about the Jewish festival Sukkot in R.M.E.  We enjoyed making decorations for a sukkah and talking about special times we have meals with our families.

2nd Star-  We have enjoyed all of  the activities we have done during maths week.  We have been busy making pictures from different kinds of shapes and creating large symmetrical pictures.

wish – We would like to learn more about space.
