Summer Time.

We would like to thank all of the parents who have supported our various trips and events over the last month. It has been a very busy time in the nursery with transition, sports day and of course playing in the sunshine!  

 

Environment and Health Week

The whole school is having a week looking at health and wellbeing as well as the environment. As part of this Jaynie will be running a PEEP taster session on Tuesday 5th at 2PM for nursery and primary one.

Transition

The nursery to primary one transition days for parents and children will take place on Tuesday 5th at 9.15-10.15 and Tuesday 19th at 9.15-10.15. As part of transition we are doing a project on the story “Tiddler” by Julia Donaldson. The project will continue over the summer holidays and into the first few weeks of P1 to help with settling in to their new class.

June Themes

This month we will be learning all about the book “Tiddler”, the sea, Summer time and keeping healthy.

Nursery Graduation

Nursery graduation will take place in the nursery on Friday 29th at 11AM. Parents are invited to join us at 11 for our graduation ceremony.

Garden Art Project

We have been awarded a grant to do art in the garden as part of the Sense of Belongings Art Programme. We are very lucky to have an artist named Poppy coming to make art for our garden on Tuesday 12th & Wednesday 13th of June. Families are welcome to come and help between 9.00-10.00AM and 3.00-3.30PM on the Tuesday, 3.00-3.30PM on the Wednesday.

Whole School Trip

We are going on a whole school trip to Musselburgh beach on Tuesday 26th. Parents are required to attend. If you are unable to attend please make other arrangements for your child as the nursery will be closed.

Lost Property

Please check the lost property before the end of term. Anything that is not claimed will be donated to charity.

P3 Research Topic-Asia

Dear Parents/Carers,

This term Primary 3 are finding out about the continent of Asia. We have discussed different aspects of what we would like to know and decided we would like to compare across the key countries of: Japan, China, India and Russia. Each pupil has identified a topic to research. For literacy, we are looking at reading for information, summarising and note taking and we shall be exploring these skills in class. Information can be sourced online, from local libraries, magazines and we shall have a look in the school library for relevant non-fiction books to send home where possible. Any findings or notes taken can be brought in as it is done or by Monday, 11th of June when we shall start to collate our findings into a display. Your support in this is greatly appreciated.

Topic List:

Food-Music-Festivals-Transport-Money-Clothes–Languages/Script/Writing–Art-Weather-

Please check which topic your child will be researching!

CYP are offering a homework club on Wednesday afternoons where pupils can have access to the internet. Please see link below.
