Sighthill Primary School & Nursery

We know how difficult these times can be, from missing friends, family, warm and feeling out of routine. When a change happens to our routine like this, we can be using less energy, feel less motivated and sometimes this can effect our sleep. We all know how grumpy we can be if we don’t get our golden hours! A good sleeping pattern is a great way to boost your mood and energy, to keep motivation and spirits high!

We have developed a differentiated sleep pack, to help keep that all important sleep routine for your child. The sleep pack is suitable for p1-p7.

The sleep pack includes a timetable for parents to follow, a visual for children, and helpful tips and tricks such as ‘brain ticks’ for children who find it tricky to switch off from the day.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you require any further information 🙂

Hi all,

Homework has been given out both on TEAMs and in hard copy, however the hard copies mean that the links are not accessible. Please find below the homework grids until the October Holidays with clickable links.

Children should do a maximum of 30 minutes of focused work everyday. They should select 2-3 activities from the main grid, and then 1 activity from the French and Spanish grids per week. They will also have Sumdog challenges every week. Spelling words will be uploaded here weekly, as well as on TEAMs. This week, your child will be working on their tricky words which they have been issued in class.

French ‘My Family’ homework can also be completed on the ‘Mi Familia’ sheet as I could not edit it from the Spanish version. Please get in touch at admin@sighthill.edin.sch.uk or on TEAMs ‘Ask Miss Hepburn’ if you or your child need any support with their homework.

If you are handing in hard copies of work, please submit them on a Thursday morning which allows them to disinfect for 72hrs before I can mark them on a Monday morning.

Good luck!

Miss Hepburn

Please click on the below presentation to find out information about the new arrangements we have put in place to welcome you all back! Looking forward to seeing you this week.

Please find below further information regards the measures in place to ensure a smooth and safe transition back into school:

Returning to School Letter 2020

Please find below information from City of Edinburgh Council about the start of session next week.

We will be sending you out further arrangements tomorrow.

We are really looking forward to welcoming all of our learners back.

With the Scottish Government announcement about children returning to school we know many families will have lots of questions and mixed feelings over the next couple of weeks.  The Health and Wellbeing, Parent and Carers Support and Psychological Services teams have been busy working with the Parent and Carer Support Collaborative to produce training and resources to support the wellbeing of parents, carers, children, young people.

We all want to help children and young people make as smooth a transition as possible back into school and to feel safe and happy there. We would are therefore delighted to launch the Edinburgh Back to School campaign across the city to reach as many families as possible.  Here are some Back to School Tips to help!
