And so we have nearly made it to the Spring break!
Last week was a bit different to usual for me as I ended up teaching in Glassary all week. I had a fantastic time working with the P1 to 3 class and seeing them work across a range of curriculum areas. We had great fun finishing off our study of the book “Selkie” by Gillian McClure. I have put the beautiful work that the children produced around the riches on display.
It was also fantastic to have some proper spring weather which meant that we could get outside for two our PE sessions.
In the P4 to 7 classroom, the children have been doing some fantastic work on the topic of what makes us unique, covering themes such as disability, rights and accessibility. Mrs McClymont has also been finishing off a unit on our bodies and our relationships and the pupils have responded extremely well.
On Tuesday, I was delighted to facilitate a Google Meet between our P7 pupils and Mr Turnbull, one of the High School Guidance Teachers as part of their transition programme. Mr Turnbull will be visiting us in person after the Easter holidays.
The week ahead
We are very much looking forward to this week when we will be looking at Easter and Ramadan (which started last week) and finishing the week with the first in our block of Street Drumming workshops for the Primary 4 to 7 class.
We also have a visit on Wednesday from the Childsmile Team who will be checking in and offering support around the excellent toothbrushing that has been happening after lunch every day in both classes this term. I have been incredibly impressed with the members of the P4 to 7 class who have helped to make this work by leading the brushing.
Please note that we finish for the holiday at 2.30pm this Friday and return after the holiday on Monday 17th April.
Progress report – follow up conversation appointments.
We are looking forward to seeing or talking to many of you on Monday and Tuesday if you requested a follow up conversation after the recently issued tracking report.
Comic Relief – Update
I am delighted to report that the joint fundraising from Glassary and Tayvallich Primary Schools raised a final total of £215 for Comic Relief this year. Well done everyone!
Consultation on the length of the school day.
Many thanks to those of you who responded to the consultation by the deadline of Friday 24th. We will now consult with other key stakeholders and keep you updated.
Have a very restful break when it comes and happy celebrations, if you are marking a festival.
Happy Easter!
Happy Passover!
Ramadan Mubarak!
Kindest regards
Lena
