Housepoints are back!!

04/25/2020 Royal Mile Primary School

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who sent me a joke – Julia in P4 sent me lots – and send one back to you!

‘My mum said I would never be able to make a car out of spaghetti! She was shocked when I drove PASTA! hahahahahaha

I have seen some fantastic pictures of arts and crafts people have been doing, and often using recycled materials like Anwen in P6. I have also enjoyed learning about orang-utan from Miss Brunner. In my garden just now we have a fox who visits and so I thought I would share this link to a story about Gaspard the Fox featuring Peter the Cat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CR9Crv7DGbc and social distancing. This link shows you how to make a Gaspard of your own https://youtu.be/PyUNbIGAr4I.

HOUSEPOINTS!!

I have been so impressed that I think we need to start giving out VIRTUAL HOUSEPOINTS! This week i will be sending your teachers a list – I can only find the LAST CERTIFICATE you received so we’ll start from there. Your teachers will keep tally for you and – you can get your family to award you points for being SUPER AMAZING and helpful at home as well. We will send you certificates by email and you will hear us giving you a round of applause!!!

How Many Words Can You Make?

Like me you have probably been watching quite a bit of this – so now can you make words from the letters that spell television?

Let’s see who can make the most – you can email your list to admin@royalmile.edin.sch.uk. I am sure there will be housepoints……

Late for Last Week and Early for Next!!

04/25/2020 Royal Mile Primary School

A very belated WELCOME BACK to school.

I am so sorry- I can’t believe the week passed so quickly.

I spent the first two days of term working at the new James Gillespie’s High School Hub. Royal Mile is just one of the 15 schools who are supporting Keyworker families at this Hub. Obviously I am already part of the most amazing Team – Team Royal Mile- but this Hub team is also very impressive and our staff are playing a major role in this.

I have to also mention the RMPS Team at Holyrood High School Hub, who are completely amazing as well. They are being lead by our new and fabulous

PRINCIPAL TEACHER Mrs Rush!

And then the rest of my week disappeared into the Technology Black hole!!!

I have been emailing and calling lots of our Royal Mile Family and checking that they can keep in touch with us.

There will be lots of important things happening this term – so it is really important we all keep in touch

If you are in contact with other Royal Mile Families please remind them to

check their emails and texts,

Tweet and Twitter with us,

leave comments on the blog and email us too!

Take care, Be Kind to each other and stay safe and well. Mrs Jessop
