Week 11.
Hello boys and girls,
This week in school, we would have been organising 'Meet your new Teacher!' We can't do that and P2 you already know your that your new teachers aren't really that new, you know them and they know you very well!
Primary 3, I am so glad that you all know Mrs Rice, and you know that Mrs Nicholson will be moving on with you to Primary 4, to keep you company!
Twice a week the teachers have a staff meeting and Mrs Rice is up to speed about how Primary 3 are getting on! She knows how hard you work and she can't wait to see you all in the new school year.
This week we would like everyone to write about their favourite memory in P2 or P3 and what you are looking forward to doing in your new class! It doesn't have to be long, just a few sentences and maybe an illustration. Ask mum or dad to send us a photo to share.
Your Study Ladder tasks are up and ready to go and the details for the Farm Safety Competition are below. Don't forget about the road safety education activities too. I will put them up when they are emailed to me.
Well done boys and girls, keep the photos coming, they help us all feel better and keep in touch,
From Mrs Hughes and Mrs McKee
Farm Safety Competition
To enter children should draw or paint a picture based on the key dangers on the farm from one of the following categories:

The theme for the week (Mon 15th - Fri 19th June) for our child safety poster competition is - Dangers from tractors and other farm machinery.
To enter our competition all children need to do is draw a poster on a plain A3 or A4 page about the Dangers from tractors and other farm machinery.
Parents/Caregivers just need to take a photograph of the completed poster and email to safestart@hseni.gov.uk by Friday 19th June at 4pm. Please remember to include the child's name, age, school and a contact number for the parent/caregiver in the covering email. The winner will be notified next week.
Children of Primary school age can enter with the chance to win a £30 One4all gift voucher
Road Safety Education - Week 3 Task (Child Passenger Safety)
This week, the theme is passenger safety and the Road Safety Education team would like parents will use the opportunity to check the height of their children, what child seats are in current use, whether they are suitable and of course if the seats are fitted correctly.
There is also a worksheet (one for 4-7 years and one for 8-11 years) which can be used to reinforce the learning for the child but are not intended to be used in isolation.
Libraries NI is delighted to announce details of ‘Silly Squad’, Summer Reading Challenge 2020 produced by
The Reading Agency and delivered by libraries which will take place from Monday 15 June.
The Silly Squad, Summer Reading Challenge, is a free, exciting way to keep
young people aged 4 - 11 years reading during the summer months.
Children can sign up for free here.
Matthew is first in with his P2 memory, he really enjoyed the visit from some cute little lambs! Matthew is also displaying his ICT skills here so great job Matthew!
Joanna has sent in her favourite memory of P2!
Lois has written about her memories of P2! She looks like she has been enjoying learning and having fun at home too, great baking skills Lois!
Joanna watching her Dad and Granda work while she chills!
Amelia has been very busy this week, she has created a beautiful Farm Safety poster, she has written about her favourite memory of P2 and has been measuring like crazy all over the garden! Lots of learning happening in the Smyth house!
Thomas has had a busy week measuring everything he could find around his Nana's house. His Papa took Chloe and him over to watch the bailing. What great fun! Thomas wrote about his favourite memory in P3 and I think lots of the boys will agree with him- it was the 'Tractor Run'. He sent a photo of Caleb, Luke, Chloe and him standing infront of a lovely shiny blue tractor! Thomas, what a brilliant piece of writing, well done!
Jessica has completed a fantastic piece of work about her memory of going to the cinema to see Frozen 2. She misses everyone and I miss you all as well!
Emily has been working hard on her word processing skills and she typed her memories of P3 and what she is looking forward to in P4. Her typing and puntuation are perfect! Those pancakes did taste good! Well done Emily
Harry has designed a great farm poster with a great message! He has had fun riding his bike and he has also written about his memories of P2, well done Harry! Unfortunately he has had to do some litter picking! But it's great to see that he takes pride in the countryside where we live. It's good to respect our environment so fantastic job!
Jenson got a belly buster toy for slime making for his birthday, what a brilliant birthday present! He also used it for making a volcano belly and jelly worms, he made toilet roll watercress hair holders and he got some binoculars for his birthday and he spotted a lovely pheasant. Jenson, you look so happy, thank you for these wonderful photos.
