STV Children’s Appeal 2018 – The Big Scottish Breakfast!

Please find attached the letter that will be making its way to you today.  We are planning a great morning for this very worthwhile appeal!  Please note – any money for the VIP Dining Experience should be sent to Mrs Sibbald in a named and sealed envelope as P7/6 are organising the tickets for this part of the event.  All sponsor money should be given to class teacher in the first instance.  Many thanks for your support.

STV Letter – final

P2/1 PE Days

A little message from Mrs Howard and Mr Tennant:

Please check that your child has a SUITABLE gym kit on a Monday and Friday.  A gym kit consists of shorts, T-shirt and suitable gym shoes.

There are a lot of children in P2/1 without a gym kit and we do not have enough spare kit to provide each child with what they need.

Many thanks for your support.

P2/1 Pirates Assembly

A huge ‘Thank You’ to everyone who managed along yesterday to support our P2/1 class for their Pirate themed assembly.  They absolutely LOVED sharing their learning with you!  Each and every one of the children taking part worked hard to learn their parts and demonstrated many of their skills that they have been working hard to develop this session, in particular; confidence and courage!  It’s not an easy task to stand and perform and present to a large audience but they were fantastic, I’m sure you will agree!

Exciting Times in P2/1

What a busy term Term 4 has turned out to be already!

Since being back after the Easter holidays, lots of fun things have been happening for us.  Here are just some of our thoughts:

Drama Box Workshop

“I liked it when the fairy got excited and she turned around with her wand and we had to duck” – Finlay

“I liked the banana game – all the questions, the answers were all ‘banana’.  It made us all laugh.” – Seth

“I liked the same a s Seth” – David

PE with Mr Tennant on Friday

“I liked jumping backward, barrel rolls and scissor jumps.  I was very good at jumping over ropes with a scissor jump.  I just jumped over it!” – Leland

“I liked jumping backwards.  It’s called a ‘flop’.” – Finlay

“I liked being with all my friends.” – Rebecca

Working with Mrs Campbell and P3/2

“I drew a daffodil.” – Aleksander

“We write a poem about the daffodils.” – Kacie E

“I drew a nice picture of a daffodil.” – Nikodem

Assembly Practise

“We have worked hard to learn all our lines.” – Gracie

“We are enjoying the songs from it.” – Seth

“We have been enjoying learning our assembly.” – Kyle & Cerys

“I’m really good at my lines.” – Emma

“I know my lines without looking at them.” – Rebecca

 

This week P1 are looking forward to seeing their friends from P1 from Greenrigg for their last transition day this session.  We will have visitors from the SSPCA and West Lothian Council’s Waste Aware Team to talk to us about the effects of litter on wildlife and the local environment.

P2 will be joining their friends from P3/2 and the P2’s from Greenrigg and will be enjoying a trip to Mill Farm.  We can’t wait to hear all about it!

Today, the boys and girls had the best afternoon creating their own pizza masterpieces with Mrs Howard.  Pics to follow!

Please remember our class assembly is on Wednesday at 2.15pm.  We hope to see you all there.

P2/1 Assembly

Please note that all children in P2/1 were given cards yesterday with their lines on them for their assembly next Wednesday afternoon.

Although we have been working on these in class, it would be much appreciated if you could go over these with your child so that they feel comfortable saying them and can say them in a loud, clear, confident voice.

Please send in cards each day so we can use them in class.

Thank you for your support.

Please help P2/1!

We need your help!

We would like to set up a shop and cafe in our classroom to help us learn all about money.

We have drawn and talked about our ideas but we need your help.

If you have any empty food boxes or drink bottles, could you please send them in so we can stack the shelves in our shop! For example, we are looking for empty boxes of teabags, cereal, biscuits etc, and empty juice bottles.

Thank you for your help.

Scottish Poetry Recital in P2/1

A huge well done to everyone in P2/1 for their fantastic Scottish poetry recital this afternoon.  All the boys and girls recited the poem ‘Midges’ to their friends and showed that they are indeed, confident individuals!

Also, another big ‘Well Done’ to Gracie, Kyle and Emma for confidently joining their peers from Our Lady’s at the Ceilidh last night and standing up in front of a large audience to recite their poem.  They did brilliantly and we are all very proud of them!
