If you’ve read the newsletter, then you’ll know that I won’t be returning to school in August. I keep telling everyone that I’m very old and it’s time for me to retire.
I’m really sorry I won’t get to see you all before the holidays, but I promise I will pop in for a visit when you’re back. I look forward to seeing you then.
Maths challenge?? I was a teacher for 14 years before I came to Linlithgow Primary and I’ve been at Linlithgow for 18 years. If you do the sums, I think you’ll find I have been a teacher for a long time.
Every class has been special, but you are even more special because you are my last class. Thank you for being such a fantastic class and thank you also to your lovely, supportive parents.
Just for fun…
Katie Morag had a big walk this evening. She really needs a nap, but she’s a bit worried Hetzer might steal her ball. Apologies, another of my upside down photos.
Good morning everyone! I hope you have all had a good start to the week. It has been lovely to hear from some of you this week, remember you can e-mail myself or Mr Brice to share anything you have been doing.
Seen it is the last week of school before the summer I thought this might be a nice activity for you to complete, keep and look back on.
One of the focuses for Health and Wellbeing this week is Road Safety. Here is a fun interactive activity. When it loads click on online module, read the information then complete the quizzes.
I hope you are all well and looking forward to your summer holidays.
I have been thinking about all the fun activities we have done this year. I wanted to share a favourite book of mine that we have read in class. I love how the pigeon tries to get everyone to help him.
This morning I would like to share a story with you that we sometimes read in Primary One.
I hope you enjoy this story as much as I do. It has a super message about liking who you are and realising that everybody is different and everybody is special.
My favourite line is “I like me on the inside too, for all I think and say and do!” because we all know how important it is to be a nice person on the inside.
Here is another of my favourite quotes from a great (and very funny) book; The Twits.
As we come to the end of Primary One, all of your teachers would like to say thank you to you all.
Thank you for being kind.
Thank you for trying your best, even when things are tricky.
Thank you for making us smile.
Thank you for helping others when they feel sad or alone or are hurt.
Thank you for being so creative and imaginative.
Thank you for bringing joy into our classrooms every single day.
Thank you for being such stars and staying safe and learning at home.
Thank you for being yourself and letting us get to know you.
Thank you for being you.
Please also remember:
Mistakes are important – they help us learn. If someone else makes a mistake, encourage them! If you make a mistake, it’s totally normal and okay. Also remember to ask for help when you need it, other people will be pleased to help you.
It is okay to feel worried, anxious, upset or angry sometimes. Everybody feels these things. If you feel these feelings, why not try talking to a grown up you trust or doing some deep breathing to calm down.
You are wonderful just the way you are. Be yourself and be proud of that! Choose to be kind every day. Being kind makes other people feel great, and it also makes YOU feel great!
Thank you for reading quite a long post today and know that your teachers are really missing you and wish that we could be together because you are all so amazing.
Today you are going to look at size and Mrs Hawthorn has made up a sheet for you to look at. You can either point to the screen to answer the questions or print it out.
