P1 and P2 have been looking at ‘People who help us’, in their topic work of ‘Helping Hands’.  They have been learning about the people who work in school.  Mrs Hutchinson, who is our school secretary, came to their classroom to talk about her job in school. The children helped Mrs Hutchinson to open the post and answer the telephone.  The children practised answering the phone politely “Good morning, Rasharkin Primary School - how can I help you?”

Mrs Hutchinson took the children for a tour of the office. They saw the money boxes, catalogues, accounts books and Mrs Hutchinson’s diary which is always full of dates for school trips and courses. 

Thank you so much Mrs Hutchinson for taking time to talk to the P1 and P2 children!
