I can hardly believe that we have now had 6 weeks of digital learning and it ‘s actually 8 weeks since we last carried out our learning actually in Riverbank School. Not to worry, Team Riverbank, is still working away as strong as ever and continuing to produce some fascinating, cute and exciting work.<\/p>\n
I don’t have a lot of news for you this week, as Mrs Ironside has stolen lots of my thunder with her newsletter and her tweeting on the Riverbank Twitter feed.<\/p>\n
Just a few reminders will do and then I’ll present what you really want to see and that’s some of our pupils’ and your children’s work.<\/p>\n
First, thank you to all our pupils who have been logging in on a daily basis to their Google Classrooms to complete their work and to Google Meet with their classmates, PSAs and teachers. Remember, do what you can and it doesn’t matter when you hand in your work. If you need adult help and your adult is at work during the day, you can do some work when they get home or, more importantly, at a time that’s convenient for everyone. I would ask that you try to do the work so you don’t forget what it’s all about and that way, when schools reopen again you will be in a good place to resume new learning. Help is just a post on the classroom stream away, an e-mail away or a quick ask at the Google Classroom Meet! Don’t be frightened to ask for help!<\/p>\n
For our Primary 7 pupils\u00a0 St Machar Academy are arranging a virtual transition and they will be setting some ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/riverbank.aberdeen.sch.uk\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screenshot-2020-03-27-at-09.47.43.png?resize=300%2C229&ssl=1\")
introductory work through the Google Classrooms. I am sure for those pupils transitioning to other secondary schools there will be transitioning opportunities for them all.<\/p>\n
On the subject of attendance, it is important that pupils sign in, Monday to Friday, in the Google Classroom Stream. if your child is unwell and unable to participate for a few days, then please contact their class teacher or the relevant member of the management team and let them know. This is easily done by using one of the email addresses on the school newsletters. The relevant emails all end with ab-ed.org<\/p>\n
P5B – Miss Miller’s Class was looking at the characteristics of living creatures.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n This week Miss Miller’s class, P5M,\u00a0 have been looking into the characteristics of mammals, fish, birds, amphibians and reptiles. The children have been filling out tables to show this information and make comparisons between them. For the art task this week they picked an animal from one of these categories to draw. Here are some examples of their work. Still on an animal theme, Mrs Farquharson’s – P3F class were working on some fact files.<\/strong><\/p>\n Mrs Spry, P6N, asked her class to look at kindness. The pupils could look at the effects of acts of kindness. How you feel when someone is kind to you and when you are kind to someone else. Kata returned a lovely poster.<\/strong><\/p>\n Primary 1C – Miss Coyle’s class with lots of help from Ms Howarth their EYP – has sent lots of different pieces of work. We have Colourful Monsters, Banksy Look-A-Likes, and they also made their own emojis showing how they felt.<\/strong><\/p>\n
