Good Afternoon,

Please find attached the homework plan for this week.

It’s Book Week Scotland and Primary 1 pupils will receive their Bookbug bags and Primary 2 their Read, Write, Count bags.  The bags contain fantastic books and some other resources to encourage a love of reading, writing and counting.

This week we will be doing an exciting range of activities with the books to celebrate Book Week Scotland and the bags will come home with your child on Friday.

Thank you,

Mrs Taylor

Week beginning 26th of October

It’s been a very exciting week in Primary 2/1.  We received a letter from the friendly dragon asking for our help.  He was very sad because his Fairyland home had disappeared. Jack didn’t have a beanstalk to climb, the 3 bears don’t have anywhere to live and Miss Muffet had even lost her tuffet! Primary 2/1 were tasked with the responsibility to think of different ways we could begin to re-build Fairyland in our classroom so they can live happily ever after.  We did a fantastic job!  We wrote a letter to the friendly dragon telling him about all the different ways we are planning to transform our classroom. We are looking forward to helping our Fairyland friends.

We also started our class Nativity.  Primary 2 did a fantastic job with the narration and Primary 1 took on the variety of roles! It will be a very different Nativity this year, however, we are enjoying learning about this special story and will be able to share photos and videos.

We took part in  Halloween activities on Friday. We dressed up in spooky costumes and were able to show off our costumes over TEAMs.  A huge thankyou to Mrs Lambe for organising the sweetie bags for everyone.  We loved them!

      

 

 

Home Learning P2/1 Week beginning 26th of October

Dear Parents,

Please find attached the homework grid for this week. The grid contains suggested activities, so please only do what is manageable.

The Home Learning pack should remain at home, however, could I please ask that the reading book is returned on a Friday so that it can be quarantined.  Reading will also be heard in class with a book at the same level.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries,

Thank you for your continued support.

Week beginning 28th of September

P2/1 have settled really well and are enjoying being at school with their friends.  Primary 1 have been learning their initial sounds and segmenting and blending to read three letter words.  Primary 2 are getting on great with their vowel digraphs and Block 1 and 2 tricky words.  In maths Primary 1 have been working on numbers within 10.  We are building a good understanding of numbers by using our fingers, Numicon, cubes and Rekenreks to represent numbers.  Primary 2 are developing skills in partitioning and place value.  We have really enjoyed taking our numeracy work outdoors.  We love our daily Number Talks and love sharing our strategies.  In topic we went on a Tree Trail of our playground. We learned about all the different trees and collected leaves.  We then counted them and made a picture.

  

Mini London Marathon 2020

In P.E. today we started our preparations for participating in the London 2020 Mini Marathon. P1,2 and 3 started by getting some of their running distance completed, P4 and 5 did some training for their run on Thursday and P6 and 7 helped with the organisation and preparations. All pupils will have the opportunity to complete 2.6 miles.

Dear Parents and Families of St. Joseph’s,
I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable Summer break.
I am sure that you will now be aware of the communications and information from West Lothian Council regarding the phased return of all pupils back to school. Please find attached further information and guidance relevant to St. Joseph’s PS to help prepare you and your family for the safe return of all pupils next week.
Myself and all the staff are very much looking forward to welcoming all of our pupils back to school. The Health and wellbeing of all is a clear priority and I know you will do all you can do support the guidance that has been carefully compiled on the basis of a thorough Risk Assessment.
I look forward to seeing many of you next week as we begin the return to school.
With kindest regards,

Thank you so much for the amazing gift!  It is so generous of you all! You have been a fantastic class and I have missed not seeing you, however, I’m really looking forward to seeing you in August.

I have just been up to see the Primary 7’s Leaver’s Assembly and they all absolutely loved your video.  Thank you again for helping me put it together.
