Primary 1 Newsletter, August– October 2025
Dear Parents/Carers
Welcome to Primary 1. We have had a great start to the term with all the children settling in well. They are all happy and engaged in class and have made a good start on their P1 learning. This newsletter will outline the weekly timetable general class information and give you an overview of the plan of learning for this term.
Timetables
PE - the class has PE on a Monday and Thursday this term. On Thursday we have P.E first thing in the morning, so please send your child in their P.E kit with school clothes to change into afterwards. In we may be outdoor on any day. Please send your child prepared for all weathers.
Monday:- PE and Gaelic
Tuesday:- Library
Thursday:- PE
Friday:- Music
General Information
Picking up /dropping off - please let me know if someone other than Mum or Dad is going to be picking up your child. Thank you.
School Uniform - please ensure your all your child’s belongings are clearly marked with their name to avoid too many lost jumpers, shoes, lunch tubs etc!
In this variable weather please ensure your child brings waterproof clothing and shoes/boots to school so they can enjoy playing outside. It’s always handy to have a pair of inside shoes/gym shoes too, so that if they get wet feet at playtime, they have something to change into. It would be great if you could leave a pair of gym shoes at school for children to use as spares.
Learning in Primary 1
