What’s New in Purple and Blue?

A warm welcome to Primary 3 pupils and parents who I will now be line managing along with Primaries 4 and 5.  We have new and exciting plans for this term!

The whole school theme for the term is Our Historical World, with pupils in Primary 3 and 4 looking at the history of Cults and Aberdeen and Primary 5 investigating Wallace and Bruce.  Some visits to local areas of interest are being planned – class teachers will keep you informed of these.

Our Golden Rules will continue to be revisited with the focus currently ‘Be Kind and Helpful.’  Pupils are encouraged to Tell Mrs Dalziel when they see or do acts of kindness and to write stories and poems or draw pictures for our Golden Rule Goal walls.

Blue Unit pupils have a weekly responsibility starting in February – jobs are to keep the GP and AV rooms tidy, to collect litter and recycling, to check the toilets, ipads and laptops are being looked after, to hold open doors and to be Good Choice Champs, noting pupils who have made Good Choices.  I hope that having a shared responsibility will encourage teamwork, respect and  pride in our school.

Pupil Voice ‘graffiti’ walls have been established where pupils are encouraged to write their opinions in answer to a given question.  Currently the question is: ‘What do you know about how our school cares for you and keeps you safe?’  These views will be collated and shared and a new question posted every few weeks.

Assemblies and other relevant news will continue to be posted here.

Here’s to a successful and rewarding term!
