Lovely Weather – Stay SunSafe!

The forecast is for sunshine and high temperature this week so please be Sunsmart!

PUT suncream on your child before they come to school (remember back of their neck as well)

WEAR a hat – preferably one that covers the back of the neck

WEAR short sleeves but have a long sleeved top so they can cover up

BRING a water bottle with plain water

HAVE a raincoat as well (it is Scotland)

This picture shows the type of cream we will use in case of emergency to prevent sunburn. if your child has skin sensitivity they should bring their own in a named bottle. More information is available here http://www.nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-body/sunscreen-and-sun-safety/ and on other sites.

Assembly 27th May 2021

I hope that you are all enjoying Health Week! I know the weather has been a bit miserable but that has certainly not dampened our spirits as everyone has been enjoying a whole range of activities to support our physical and mental health and wellbeing!

It has been great fun watching the Buddies in Primary 5, 6 and 7 Wake Up! Shake Up! with the nursery and younger classes. There have been some energetic daily miles, some relaxing yoga, mindful colouring and concocting of healthy smoothies! I believe the next focus is sleeping! I am pretty good at napping (so is my cat) so this could be my forte!

I hope you enjoy this week’s assembly https://youtu.be/QZ0KbMlo_08 Take care and keep healthy!

P4’s Week – 17/5/21

Hello,

Below is some of our learning for this week.

Literacy

Reading – Penny Dreadful and the Rat. We read and discussed to page 24. Everyone has access to the e-book via their Active Learn account.

Writing & Grammar – We have learned about Pronouns (he, she, they, etc) and how they can replace other common and proper nouns in writing. They can help to keep writing interesting to a reader.

Maths and Numeracy

Fractions – We learned about how fractions can be ordered from smallest to biggest and the more parts there is (the biggest the denominator) then the smaller the piece.

Grids and Co-ordinates – We used the game “Battleships” to learn how to read grid references. Remember, it’s always across 1st and then up. There is a fun Star Wars theme worksheet below to help you practise.

Health and Wellbeing

P.E. – We have been exercising almost every morning and discovering different ways to keep our bodies healthy. We have been running outside and doing Yoga in the classroom. I bet the boys and girls can tell you all about it!

Keep up the good work P4.

Mr. Madine

Assembly 20th May

Hello. It’s been a busy week – our planters are now filled with soil and classes are starting off seeds on the windowsills for a colourful welcome next session.

Our Vice House Captains had the lovely job of thanking the Dumbiedykes Residents’ Association for a kind donation as they closed their accounts for the last time. We are going to put it towarsd our ‘greening’ project.

Sadly our House Captains have had a less pleasant job checking the upper school loos after a spate of vandalism and careless behaviour led to inconvenience and a repair bill. Please can we all work together to look after our school and each other.

We found out that Mrs Henry will be joining Royal Mile as Head Teacher next session And we had yummy fruit for snack on Friday thanks to the Parent Council. We have the same again this Friday too!

So here it is – Assembly! https://youtu.be/boSTGroUuYw

Take care, Mrs Jessop!
