Hello All,
Welcome to all our new Parent/Carers and Primary 1 children!
We were very excited to welcome our new Primary 1’s who looked very smart in their school uniforms. With the help of their buddies they have already started learning school routines and are developing independence carrying out these tasks.
We have started our week with the story of the Rainbow Fish which is a great stimulus for discussions about similarities and differences and friendships. The children have also produced some lovely art work from the story.
This week we have also discussed the class charter with the children which is based on the UNCRC (United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child). We have focussed on the children’s rights to be safe, learn and play at this stage. We will be sending the charters that have been agreed with the children home for you to discuss with your child and would be very grateful if you could sign and send this back to show your support.
The children will have their first ‘Freetime Friday’ session on Friday (24th August.) This is reward time which children earn throughout the week. To make this special we are going to allow the children to bring toys from home on a trial basis. We will review this throughout the year if it does/does not work well. You will receive a letter before Friday with details.
The termly newspaper and ‘Meet the Teacher’ next Wednesday (29th Aug) will give further information about what is happening the rest of this term in addition to our weekly updates on the blog.
If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to ask teachers at the end of the day or phone the school office.
Thank you for your support,
Primary 1 Teachers
