achievement e.g. riding their bike

Respect, responsibility, kindness,

fairness and unity are Newton Primary
Schools values. Children are expected to
uphold these values at all times.

Efforts and high standards are expected

in Primary 1. Children are encouraged to
always try their best and to take pride in
their learning.

Children will experience a variety of

learning contexts in Primary 1. In term 1,
our context is Pirates on the High Seas.

Parents are important in supporting

learning. If you have a skill or knowledge
to share, please let us know. We would
also appreciate parent support for
excursions taking place throughout the
year.
Thank you for your support,

Mrs Horne, Mrs Griffiths and Mrs

Nicol
