Our assemblies this term will continue to focus on the Golden Rules, SHANARRI, Children’s Rights and the Four Capacities.

We are focussing on the Golden Rule of Be Kind and Helpful and watched a short film about a new pupil (a hedgehog) who was finding it difficult to fit in as his spines hurt the others, burst their ball and got in the way. However, they showed kindness and caring by finding a way to include him.

Some active P4-5 girls told us about Stagecoach, a theatre group they attend.  In the spirit of Robert Burns, we all actively took part in learning the song  ‘Three Cra’s’ and some Scottish words – we listened to some of ‘The Eejits’ which is ‘The Twits’ in Scots!  Certificates were given to P4-5 pupils who had particularly performed well reciting Scots poems – all successful learners.

We watched a story about Babar where he was being picked on because he looked different.  We discussed how he felt, what effect this could have on his mental health and what strategies he used to help. 

A group of P5 pupils will be presenting this week, reminding us of important safety rules both in and out of school.
