Dear Primary 7

Dear Primary 7,

I hope you have had a great week and have been able to get outside to enjoy the lovely sunshine. I also hope that you got the chance to try some of the Health Week activities posted in the grid. Make sure you stay hydrated if you are doing anything active in the heat!

For those of you going to JGHS, the office and myself have emailed you a link to a clip to help you with transition. It’s fun to watch and it shows you the main buildings and introduces some of the teachers. If you are going to JGHS and haven’t seen it, I would recommend you take a look.

I will post the grid for Week 8 as usual on Monday. There is an environmental theme this week, which I hope you will enjoy.

As always, if you have any questions or anything to share, please do email it to:

me directly, share it on TEAMS or admin@royalmile.edin.sch.uk

For those of you not yet set up, please do read the code of conduct below and let the office know. They will send you your login details.

When you do get access, I shall send you an email and it would be lovely if you said hello on the posts in TEAMS. We are looking forward to hearing from you!

In other news, as it was Health Week this week, I didn’t bake but made Shakshuka. It’s very tasty and you can make it as spicy as you like it. Copper had been eating less healthily, he had one of his favourite treats, the end of an ice cream tub as you can see from the picture below. I also managed to find him a new dog shampoo, so he looks a bit fluffier than usual!

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and I look forward to hearing from you all soon.

Take care,

Miss Kerr

Recipe for Shakshuka:

You will need:

6 eggs

Two tins of chopped tomatoes

1 Onion

2 Garlic cloves

Veg of your choice (peppers, courgettes, aubergine etc)

Cumin

Corainder

Method:

Virtual Games at the Hub

05/29/2020 rmpstaff

Primary Six Families,

I hope that all of you have been enjoying the health week activities in the beautiful sunshine we have been enjoying this week! Following health week we have been invited to join in the annual Games and the Hub Event. This is a celebration of the Active Schools Programme and is open to primary six pupils across the city. This year because we are not able to meet up in person the event will happen virtually.

The event will run in three section, the opening ceremony, the sports events and a quiz at 2 P.M. to end the day. To participate in the opening ceremony and the sports events you will need to send a photo or video of yourself completing the activity and either email it to admin@royalmile.edin.sch.uk or upload them to Teams. It would be great if you could include a short comment on what you were doing or what skills you were using. I will then be able to tweet them in throughout the day. If you do not wish the photo to be tweeted please make that clear when sending it in.

The theme for the opening ceremony is ‘Journey Through Lockdown’. This could be examples of things that you have learnt, skills you have been developing, food you have been cooking etc.

There will be a range of sports challenges, most of which you will not need sports equipment to complete. Full details of the sports will be published via the link below by 5 P.M. today. Each event will take a maximum of half an hour.

List of activities

The quiz will be on Kahoot.it and can be accessed through a code shared on the website and twitter. I will re-post them on the blog and Teams too.

Please share your photos, videos and comments by Wednesday.

The grid next week will be shorter to reflect the extra time which will be taken to complete these activities.

Hope to hear from you all soon!

All the best!

Mr McPheely
