In Primary Six home learning activities will be based on the previous week’s learning to consolidate what has been covered in class. A weekly summary of the week’s learning and teaching will be posted to the blog on Fridays and will include suggested activities for home learning (see below). There is no expectation that all of these activities will be completed within the week and it is up to you and your child which of them you would like to focus on.
To reduce the risk of infection and cross contamination, where possible examples of home learning should be submitted electronically on Microsoft Teams or emailed to admin@royalmile.edin.sch.uk. If it is not possible to submit online for any reason please send the work in with your child in their homework folder on Thursday, so that it can be quarantined for three days before going back home on Monday.
We are currently collecting back in the homework folders which went home pre lockdown so we can refill them with resources for home learning. If you have one of these at home please send them to school with your child as soon as possible.
If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch either by commenting on this post or emailing the school admin account.
Today’s assembly was one of my most favourites of the year! It was a chance to see all of our Pupil Representatives! These are the young people who make such a difference to the life and work of the school!
You may remember that last year our Pupil Councillors started a campaign to improve our bathrooms – yesterday we had a visit from Property Care at CEC who came to look at the proposals and see what they could do! Fantastic!
this year’s elected pupil councillors so far……..
We also found out some more about JASS (Junior Award Scheme Scotland) and are really proud to announce we are the first school in Edinburgh who will be working for Awards from P1 to P7!
We already have lots of ideas about things we can do – we hope that all of our families will join in and support our young people as they earn their awards!
The four parts of the Award are:
Adventure -Your adventure should be an outdoor challenge where you need to work as part of a team with other young people.Some Examples Are:Learning new skills like hill walking and navigation.Taking part in a team game involving problem solving.Orienteering in the school playground.
Get Active, Stay Active -This section is about doing regular physical activity. This is something over and above core curriculum PE. Some Examples are:Walking / cyling to school everyday. -If you get the bus to school why don’t you leave enough time so that you can get off the bus a couple of stops earlier and then walk the rest of the way to school. If you school does the daily mile this would count towards Get Active, Stay Active.Any club, either at school or in your local community that offers regular physical activity. For example: Rugby / football training, dancing, cheer leading, horse riding etc.Challenge yourself to go for a walk once a week and explore your local community.
My Interests -This section is about doing a hobby you enjoy and increasing you ability and/or knowledge. You can choose to do something new, or set targets for something you already enjoy doing. Some Examples Are:Research the history of your favourite sports team, player of athlete.Researching your favourite animal, for example doing a project on the
Me and My World -This is an opportunity to get involved in your community, helping with things you care about. Your project can be part of a team from your school, or something you do already.Some Examples Are: Maintaining a school or community garden.Helping younger children in your youth group.Volunteering at a retirement home.Fundraising for your favourite charity. Learning to play a musical instrument, or challenging yourself to improve.
Hello and belated welcome back to the LCC2 blog. We have been busy getting back into the routines of school. On this blog we will be sharing our learning with you as well as posting some updates and ideas for home learning, so please do check this page regularly.
We have been trying to get outside for fresh air whenever we can. We have done outdoor spelling, outdoor maths (looking for 3D shapes in our environment) and we have also been out on the scooters and the bikes.
We have been getting back into the swing of being at school, working at our workstations, keeping all our individual resources neat and tidy…school is looking quite different. Assembly is online now too!
We have also found time to relax, play and be creative.
We are very excited to welcome you all back to nursery this week. We would like to welcome our new Early Years Practitioners to the team, Colin and Ellie. We would also like to congratulate Clara who has now fully qualified. We are very sad to say goodbye and good luck to Emma, she will miss you all very much. Mrs Peoples is now on maternity leave and we are all very excited for her.
Can I remind all parents that we are to meet between 9-9.15 by the tree in the playground for drop off. If you are late, please head straight to the school office.
We can’t wait to see you all and are looking forward to the coming term.
