FAO Parent of Primary 5 pupils – Bramble & Thistle Clans
Your child has been recently involved with a music initiative called ‘Artistic Rhythms’ with Limelight Music. They have been learning and creating music inspired by world artworks from 3 countries in 3 continents – Tanzania, Brazil and Scotland. These countries have been chosen for their rich cultural heritage, which often brings the art forms of dance, music, poetry, rhythm and visual art together.
The block of learning is due to come to an end and the last session will be held on Tuesday 7th February. While I appreciate the short notice and other opportunities to visit school that week are already in place, Limelight would like to invite you in to share what your children have been learning. We will record the final sessions for any parents unable to attend and this will be shared at our ‘Caledonian Clan Celebration’ event.
There are two sessions, your child will know whether they participate in the first group before break or the second group after break.
Session 1 – 10.00 – 10.25
Session 2 – 11.15 – 11.45
We look forward to sharing this amazing learning and welcome you to join in if you wish.
Home Learning Choice Boards Term 3 2022/23
As a school, we are currently re-evaluating our home learning grids. We are firstly focusing on P5-P7 home learning and are making changes to reflect the views expressed by champions, pupils and parents. We will then explore home learning from P1-P4.
The current P5-P7 home learning grids will last for a duration of 4 weeks. The next homework to be issued will have changes and alterations, and will reflect our new home learning structure in P5-P7. This has been discussed with all pupils at this stage. Further information will be issued along with our new grids.
