NOTES
Congratulations everyone on
surviving the first few weeks at
school! The boys and girls are looking
fabulous in their smart school
uniforms and we are all settling back
in really well. A few notes….
P.E. will be on a Monday and
Thursday this term. Just a reminder
that P.E. kits are kept on our pegs
and should contain shorts, t-shirt
and a pair of gym shoes.
WHAT WE ARE
LEARNING
Primary 2s have started their year by getting to know
their new classmates, teachers and learning assistants.
We have been sharing ideas on how we can create a
safe and happy learning environment.
We have also been thinking about our learning journey
for the year. We are starting to write ‘targets’ for our
learning and behaviour and we are aiming high!
Free fresh fruit is provided on a
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
for all children.
In class we have been sharing some of our favourite
books and authors. We will be continuing this with a
mini topic on Julia Donaldson after seeing her at the
Edinburgh Book Festival!
Please ensure that when providing
snack or lunch for your child it
does not contain nuts as we have a
child in Primary 2 with a severe
nut allergy.
We are all learning to become more independent now
that we are in Primary 2. This includes taking
responsibility for our own belongings, getting changed
for P.E. and coming into school all by ourselves in the
morning. We appreciate your support in encouraging all
of our P2s to become more confident with their
morning routine.
I will be encouraging all children to
stay well hydrated throughout the
day to keep us all feeling alert.
Please provide your child with a
water bottle on a daily basis.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Tuesday 27th August – P2s to Book Festival
Thursday 12th September – ‘Soft start’ morning. Parents invited to
class 9-9.30 to get a feel for our morning routine (letter to follow)
N.B. Please ensure that all items of school uniform, lunch boxes, bags
and water bottles are clearly marked with your child’s name. This
will aid us greatly in returning any lost, swapped or misplaced items to
their rightful owner!
Finally…
I have enjoyed getting to know the boys and girls a little better over
the first busy few weeks in school. I hope to get to know some of our
lovely parents more too! If you have any questions, concerns or good
news to share, please do contact the office so that I can give you a
ring or arrange a chat in school. Miss Main
