P7/6 Learning Letter

September 13, 2016 Miss Burton Leave a comment

Dear Parent/Carer,

Welcome to Term 1 in Primary 7/6. All the children are settling well in to P7/6 and over the last fortnight we have been doing a lot of community building exercises to ensure that the children get to know each other. This term the children are looking forward to learning about the World War 2. The children will soon be asked to join a Junior Leadership Team and we look forward to making positive changes within our school this year. Children will be challenged each morning with quick start activities including Maths, Literacy and thinking problems to stimulate their learning in the morning.

Dear Parent/Carer,

Welcome to our first term in Primary 6. All of the children are settling well into P6 and we are looking forward to a busy and fun term. There is lots to look forward to including our new IDL context: World War 2. The children are excited and motivated to learn and are already sharing facts about the topic and stories from their family histories. Also, all pupils are soon to join a Junior Leadership Team and look forward to making positive changes within our school this year.

Dear Parent/Carer,

Welcome to Term 1 of Primary 1. I hope you all had a relaxing summer break. In school we are looking forward to a busy and exciting term. Over the first few weeks we have been working hard to establish a positive and effective classroom ethos. This has included getting to know each other, and creating our own Community Contract, which helps pupils, staff and visitors to understand how the school values and children’s rights are respected within our classroom.

Dear Parent/Carer,

Welcome to Term 1 in Primary 5. All of the children have settled well into P5 and we are looking forward to a busy and fun term. So far, the children have participated in a community building fortnight where we have been getting to know each other, creating our class charter and becoming familiar with our new class routines. We also had a mini focus on our school value of being inclusive. We have begun our new IDL context for learning, The Romans, and the children have created a set of questions that they would like to find the answers to and we will be exploring these through the topic.

iAchieve

September 11, 2016 Miss Burton Leave a comment

We launched our new approach to achievement last week at Meet the Teacher. Each child now has a copy of their iAchieve level (you can download these below) and this is used to tracked their achievements. When they have achieved three of the tasks in each box they will receive a certificate in class or at a Friday Assembly and move on to the next area within their level, for example if they complete Brilliant Bronze for Responsible Citizen they will move on to Super Silver.

If the achievement has been completed at home the pupil can fill out an iAchieve sheet (found below) which are available from their class teacher. Primary 4 to 6 have the option of using their iAchieve blog (the link to these blogs are above and pupils will require their Glow password as these blogs are private) and Primary 7 can use Didbook, to record their achievements.

Our Achievement Assemblies will now be Celebration Assemblies, these will celebration our achievements for that term and pupils will be presented with a Literacy and STEM Award as nominated by their class teacher. The parents/ carers of that pupil will be invited along to the assembly.

Dear Parent/Carer,

Welcome to Term 1 in Primary 4. I hope you have all had a peaceful and relaxing summer, and are feeling ready for our first term of this session. We have spent the first two weeks of term building our community and we had a focus on the value of responsible. Our IDL context this term is Crazy Climates and we are looking forward to learning about the weather and climate in The Rainforest, The Artic and Scotland. Our trip to Dynamic Earth on 3^rd October will consolidate this learning.
