Come See Our Learning!
An email has been sent to all P2/3 parents with information about the things we are covering this week and possibly next in our ‘Privacy & Our Bodies Are Private’ Topic.
It is giving you information to know how you can support your child at home.
If you do not appear to have received this or other school emails, please check your spam mailbox and contact the school if you do not find them.
Thanks
Mr McEwan
Today No-Junk-Josh, Recycling Rachel, Anti-Litter-Anna and Reducing George came into Gullane primary school and were shocked to see children messing up the playground, park, astro, going home from home and the beach.
Then the Recycling Rangers took the naughty kids to the recycling classroom. We told them to research about recycling. Elsa & Erika told us about what litter is. Tom and Aylee told us about decomposing.
Fergus & Charlie told us what we can put in the blue box and Ethan and Zoe told us about the green box. Mille, Emily, Kyle & Mylo told us about the green bin. Lily and Drew told us about the food caddy. The two Rory and Rory told us about the brown bin. Rory T and Alex told us about the compost box and Teya and Elsa about the compost bag.
Millie and Emily told us how they made a wormery and Mylo and Kyle told us a story about the Messy Magpie. Rory N and Zoe told us about what happened when they interviewed the janitor Mr Paton. Erika and Tom told us about the trip they went on. We learnt about the three Rs. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. At the end we sang a song.
I think they learned lots. And were delighted by all the parents and family who came to see them.

P.S. Obviously this was our Assembly so we didnt really mess up Gullane! But we did learn how to recycle.
As it is a short week, there will be no homework apart from Reading. Pupils can also play SumDog or Mathletics, and they can also practise their Rainbow Common Words if they wish.
Pupils have been reminded to bring a jacket for their educational excursion Tomorrow, and they will have their snack before they go and lunch when they return.
Here are the dates of some up and coming events –
Friday 26th April – Luffness Bake Sale
Monday 6th May – Holiday
Wednesday 8th May – Visit to Kinwegar Recycling Centre
Monday 20th May – Inservice Day
Thursday 30th May – P2/3 Assembly
A letter re the Educational Excursion went out with the pupil post. There is no cost involved as Waste Management Services have kindly arranged and paid for the bus.
We require some Parental Helpers. Please indicate on the slip if you can help.
Our Assembly Date has been changed from 16th of May to give us time to plan reporting back on our Recycling Visit and other things we have learned.
Mr McEwan
The P2/3 Assembly will now take place on Thu 30th May, not the 16th as previously advised.
Apologies for any inconvenience.
Mr McEwan
Thanks to everyone who has returned their Parental Consultation forms. If you have not already done so, please return them as soon as possible.
Homework is due on Friday as usual and Muirfield Bake Sale is also taking place then.
Mr McEwan
P2/3 have been busy this week writing posts for their new Class Blog to show their parents at the drop in this morning.
You can register for email updates when new posts are added.
Thanks very much for all the parents and grandparents who came to our drop in this morning. We really appreciated you joining us and hope you enjoyed it.
We hope you enjoy the blog too and the web address is www.edubuzz.org/gullanepsp123
P2/3 have been learning to give our opinions. We said things we liked and didn’t like.
We were doing our opinions about Scots poems and books. Rachel liked the Road Dahl book Matilda. Anna’s favourite poem is A Dug A Dug. My opinion was that I enjoyed Marissa the Science Fairy illustrations because I like fairy books.

With Mrs MacIver the plants we planted were tomato & cress & sunflower & magic beans.
We have to water them every day and look after them . Some of them are starting to grow 🍅🍅🌱🌱🌻🌻🌻🌻. Some of them are big & some of them are small.
They were fun to grow🐔🐤🌼🌼. They need water & sun to grow 💧💧🌞🌞.
We are noticing them growing every day. When they have grown we might eat them.
We are having lots of fun with this and also doing about food chains.

In P2/3 if we finish our work we sometimes get to choose and the group that gets the most points each week gets to choose too. There are lots of options. We also do secret student which Mr McEwan picks in the morning and if they are:
focussed, working quietly & doing their best they get 3 house points, a certificate to take home and they get to choose the next day. These are some of the choices there are in choosing
Blocks Lego Wooden Village Board showing puppets (which are fish).
