Primary 1 Update

Hello parents/carers,
What a wonderful first week we have had in Primary 1. The children have transitioned into their new class and routines well showing resilience to overcome their first week nerves. Thank you for supporting our learners on their new journey.
PE – Our PE days for this term will be on a Tuesday and Friday. Children should come into school with appropriate clothing and footwear to participate in sporting activities (ie trainers, joggers, t-shirt, jumper).
Snack for break time – If possible, can your child’s snack be kept separate from their lunch as some children are getting confused between what is for their break and what is for their lunch. Children may also want to have a small snack for the afternoon at the beginning of this school year, whilst they adjust to the longer days.
Seesaw login – All children will be provided with their Seesaw logins. Please try these at home and let me know if you have any issues. They will be uploading work onto their own accounts over the coming weeks once they have settled in to school life.
RCCT – Mrs Hardie will be working in Primary 1 on a Tuesday afternoon and will cover a range of HWB topics, PE and French.
Milk – Some children have been asking for milk; however they are not on the current list. If you would like them to be added to the list, please contact the school office.
Allergies – A reminder that no nut products should be brought into school due to children having allergies to different types of foods.
Personal items – Please ensure that everything your child brings to school is named. This will make it easier for them to look after and prevent things from being lost.
Lunch – Ensure children know what they are having for lunch before they arrive in the morning. If they are a school lunch which has been pre-ordered, this will not be changed by myself. You can order your child’s lunch through iPayimpact prior to them attending on the day. We use the colours in class to help identify what they would like.
The clear school bag/book bag provided during the transition into P1 is always useful for information to be sent home in. Please can you return the clear school bag/book bag so we can start using them to send information home. Should you not have access to the above, we will organise this for you.
Thank you for your continued support,
Miss Walkingshaw

Parent Partners Meeting, 7pm Tuesday 26th October

Our first parent partners meeting of the new school year will take place this coming Tuesday at 7pm. Unfortunately we cannot meet in person at this time and the meeting will take place on Skype.
The meeting will give us the opportunity to meet with the management team and discuss with them matters such as communication, home learning and plans for the leadership of the school in the coming year. We will also discuss any fundraising events that we can help with.
All parents and carers are welcome. If you would like to join the meeting, please email the school office for the skype code. The agenda for the meeting will be published on the school blog before the meeting. We look forward  to seeing you there.

Please see attached home learning grids.  These are also available in Seesaw if your child is in P1-3.  If your child is in P4-7, they can access their grid on TEAMS.
