This week, you could definitely feel the change in the temperature. Although it’s a bit more chilly, the pupils loved coming in to share that they’d found ice. This started some amazing conversations between pupils and creating their own experiments such as how quickly will it melt.
This week in the red book bags, we have added a Learning at Home with P1 sheet to highlight some important information. We’ve sent home your child’s red learning record to have a look at their learning journey (the white a3 sheet) of their learning in term 1. This is a snapshot of their learning over one or two weeks and how they have been interacting with the environment, developing their play and where they could go with next steps. We would love a wee parent comment and any input on next steps you would like to see for your child.
We’ve also added in the dates of the diary on a blue sheet and any other letters that are for your attention.
Any questions or queries please do not hesitate to let me know.
Please note Primary 1 Parent Workshops will take place on Tuesday 29th October 2019 at 3.30pm to 4.30pm and again on Wednesday 30th October at 6pm to 7pm.
These workshops will focus on Emerging Literacy and Our Approach to Learning in P1.
