Macmillan Guess The Teacher Competition
Watch the video to see our teachers as babies! You will be able to enter the competition in school this Friday for 50p. All money raised will be going to Macmillan Cancer Support.
Hamish Has Arrived!
Last week Hamish McHaggis arrived in Primary 2/1, Primary 2 and Primary 3/2. He brought along some lovely story books about his adventures around Scotland. Hamish wanted to know where we had been in Scotland and would like us to learn more about Scotland. We have been painting Hamish and his friends and this week we are learning about Edinburgh.
Meet the Teacher Evenings
Many thanks to all the parents who attended the meet the teacher evenings. From the feedback it was very successful. Many thanks for your suggestions on how to improve our evenings and will take these on board for next time.
If you did not receive a Meet the Teacher Leaflet from your child’s class they have been added below.
Many thanks for your continued support.
Primary 2 are back!
We feel very grown up now that we are in Primary 2. We have settled in well and are busy learning all of our classroom routines. Our classrooms are beginning to look lovely with all of our displays. We enjoyed making our friendship gardens and thinking about what makes a good friend.
If we want to play in the field we need to bring in suitable coats and a change of shoes. It would be good if these were in a named bag so that we can hang them up on our pegs in our cloakroom.
Well done to the boys and girls who took part in our whole school assembly about our Golden Rules.
P1 Timetable
This term all P1 children will have indoor PE on a Tuesday so you may wish to keep shirts and ties for other days! As children will have to dress and undress independently it would help if they could practise putting on and taking off their school uniform.
P1a and P1b will have reading on Tuesdays and Thursdays and P2/1 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Please follow the instructions in your child’s reading record. Reading folders should be brought to school everyday. If you have not yet provided your child with a reading folder please send one in on Monday.
P1 Sounds Super stars
Our teachers are so impressed with how well we have learned our first sounds and we hope you will be too. We have brought home our sound tubs to practise our sounds and actions with you. If you would like to have a family singsong all the Jolly Phonics songs can be found on youtube.
If you have not yet provided your child with a sound tub please send one in on Monday. Children will need their sound tubs at school every day.
Welcome to Primary 1!
We have had a wonderful start to the session and are so impressed with how well all the boys and girls are settling into school and their new routine. We have enjoyed getting to know each other in class and we are looking forward to building our relationships with parents too. There will be many opportunities for you to come into school over the course of the year but at this point in time we are desperately seeking parent helpers! If you would be able to help please let your child’s teacher know.
Please can you continue to remind your child what their home time arrangements are and also discuss their lunch options. This helps everything to run smoothly during the school day.
‘Williamston Remembers’ Book Launch
Yesterday at our Parent helpers Coffee morning we launched our World War 1 book- ‘Williamston Remembers’
This is a diverse collection of drawings, poetry, photographs and stories from our children and poignant memoirs from some of our families. It is a collection of facts from the past, and personal thoughts of individuals. it is a journey through learning where we can see World War 1 through the eyes of children. It is our act of commemoration ‘Lest we forget’
The book is on sale for all to buy. Any profit made will go to Poppy Scotland. Books cost £7.00 and are available from the school office.
Cool Creatures!
Primary 7 have had a wonderful day today with a very exciting visit with Calum from Cool Creatures. He brought along a variety of animals for us to meet. We were all extremely brave and learnt lots of new and fascinating facts which has enhanced our Science topic ‘Living Things’. We are very pleased that we chose to use our bake sale money to pay for the visit so thank you very much to everyone who purchased our baking! Have a look at some of the creatures that we all met today…
