Welcome back P4

rmpstaff

Hello everyone!

Ms. McEwan and I are busy preparing the classroom for you to come back to school this week. I don’t have any pictures to share with you at the moment but rest assured that we are doing everything we can reasonably do to keep everyone safe while ensuring the learning takes place.

For the boys and girls who are coming in on Wednesday and Thursday I thought I would give you an idea of what we will be doing.

In the morning before break we will be doing some Literacy. I will be teaching you a fun activity that last years P4 class really enjoyed. After break we will be doing Maths and Numeracy and practising some key number work.

In the afternoon, after lunch, we have an assembly sandwiched between a fun Art activity.

If parents and carers have any concerns or questions please contact the school. If you haven’t read through the Return to School letter please do so before coming in. There is a lot of helpful information in it that might answer some of your questions.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Mr. Madine

Happy Holidays!

Royal Mile Primary School

Dear Parents and Carers, young people and families,

I cannot believe the end of session has arrived. It has certainly been a strange last term for everyone and we have all had to find new ways to work together and stay connected.

We are still waiting for the final decision about August but please be assured that we have plans, contingency plans and contingency contingency plans all worked out so that we can send you information as soon as we are advised by City of Edinburgh to do so. It is important to follow the guidance as we take the route map out of lockdown and listen to reports in the news and particularly check the CEC website.

A big thank you to all the staff at Royal Mile, school and Nursery, for their commitment and dedication to keeping everyone busy with great learning activities and some opportunities for fun!

Thank you to the office team, who have helped keep communication moving, delivered food parcels and ipads, queued at post offices and maintained a cheerful disposition!

Thank you to all the families at Royal Mile who have supported the school and helped their children to engage with learning. For all the email messages, blog comments and photographs that have made us smile and feel connected, thank you.

This evening I will be saying farewell to Primary 7 and wishing them all the best at High School, thanks to CYP and Zoom.

Then tomorrow I will be in school to finish off a few office jobs and take a last walk round. In August it will look very different without the scaffold and the builders.

In the meantime, please stay safe and well. Enjoy the sunshine and take care.

Mrs Jessop
