Hello boys/girls and parents/carers, 

I hope everyone is safe and well. The start of a new month-March. I am REALLY looking forward to seeing all the boys and girls back in Primary 1 next Monday 8th March. Can I just take this opportunity to thank everyone for their hard work at home over the past two months. Everyone has worked incredibly hard. I am so proud of all the children. I know, as a parent myself home schooling has not always been easy but you have all done fantastically well. Below you can find the interactive links for this week's activities. Don't forget WORLD BOOK DAY is this Thursday 4th March. Special activities for World Book Day are outlined in your child's work pack. Please return completed packs next Monday 8th March, along with reading books at your child's bubble time. Please send any World Book Day pictures to my email. Don't hesitate to contact me throughout this week if you have any difficulties with anything.

Kind Regards,

Mrs Moore

Good morning boys/girls, parents and carers,

I hope that you are all safe and well. Thank you again for all the hard work over the past week. It was lovely to see lots of pictures of the children happily engaging in lots of the tasks at home. Well done everyone! I am looking forward to marking all of the work later in the week. Below you will find all of the interactive links for this week, as outlined in the overview sheet. I have also included a glue stick in everyone's pack. Please stick worksheets into your child's blue book. Keep the glue stick at home and do this on a weekly basis. Don't hesitate to contact me on my email address if you are having any difficulties with anything. Please keep the photos coming! I love seeing how the children are getting on. I hope that all the boys and girls enjoy completing all the tasks for this week. 

Kind Regards,

Mrs Moore

 Dear Parents/ Guardians,

                                     I hope that you are all keeping safe and well and that all the P1 boys and girls having enjoyed completing the activities sent home in last week's pack.  I will be posting videos and links to try and support their learning at home throughout the home-schooling period so please keep an eye on this page each week. I really miss all of their little faces and completing our work together in the classroom. I would love to see some photos of your child engaging in activities at home during this lockdown, whether it be completing activities in their home learning pack, baking, playing in the garden, painting or simply enjoying family time together. Please send any photos to my email address, which can be found in the overview page in your child's weekly pack.

Your child's work pack should be collected each Monday morning at their normal bubble arrival time and the previous week's work pack should be returned at the same time, so that it can be marked. Please don't hesitate to contact me through my email address at any stage if you are having difficulties with anything. 

Kind Regards, 

Mrs Moore

  World Around Us-Week beginning Monday 11th January

Over the next few weeks, we will be learning about the signs of Winter. Show PowerPoint 'All About Winter' to learn some new things about Winter. Encourage your child to make a snowman with their playdough. First roll out one big ball of dough for the snowman’s body, secondly, roll out a smaller ball of dough for the snowman’s head. Can they make eyes, a nose, mouth, arms, a hat and buttons for their snowman. I would love to see some pictures of all the finished snowmen.
