Back together again!
We are all looking forward to welcoming the P4-7 children back on Monday morning to join to nursery, P1, P2 and P3 children. The last 3 weeks have been incredibly positive; our youngest learners have settled back into school routines very quickly and have enjoyed seeing their friends and teachers. We are confident the P4-7 children will have the same positive experience when they return. We’ve made a short ‘welcome back’ video that might be helpful.
P4-7 return information
A Groupcall email was sent out yesterday detailing the arrangements for the return on Monday. Please check your inboxes.
Routines, Relationships and Reset
We have 3 simple priorities with school being back. The first is about routines, both in terms of safety and classroom expectations. Secondly, we want to ensure the children get a chance to reconnect and finally, we are ‘resetting’ the learning and will be prioritising core areas of Literacy and Maths to ensure every child is supported to be the best they can be. Click here for a bit more detail about our ‘Routines, Relationships and Reset’ plan.
Science Spectacular
With all the children back in the building, we will be jumping into an exciting week of Science. All children, from nursery to P7, will become scientists and investigators as we learn about how science makes a difference. Look out for updates on the class and school Facebook pages.
Staying vigilant is so important
Ensuring the health and wellbeing of our children, our staff and you as families is our number one priority right now. Please help us by:
1) Following the ‘4 steps for being safe on the school run’;
- Adults must wear a face covering at drop off / pick up.
- Stick to one adult at drop off / pick up.
- Adults keep 2 metres apart.
- Avoid car sharing.
2) Being vigilant about COVID-19 symptoms; self-isolate if required and follow NHS ‘Test and Protect’ advice. Please phone the school to let us know if a member of your household tests positive.
3) Reporting a child’s positive test result immediately either by phoning the school (if during office hours) or using our new ‘positive test’ form.
School lunches
Please use ParentPay to order and pay for your child’s school lunch. This really does help Mrs Fleming in the mornings. Thank you.
Breakfast Club
With the full return of schools, breakfast club is now open as normal for all P1-7 children. If you want to use this service, please book and pay using ParentPay at a cost of £1 per day. Breakfast Club doors open at 8am and children can arrive anytime up until 8.30am.
End of day pick-up
At the end of the school day, using the multiple exit points is helping us to spread out the number of people leaving the school site. We do have one very important request… regardless of your exit point, please use the lollipop crossing points to ensure you and your children cross the road safely. It may mean a slightly longer walk but it is the only safe and responsible option. Thank you
