Dear Colleagues

Please find attached information regarding the launch of local partner RSPB’s ‘Celebrating Nature with Schools’ project.

The project aims to engage P5-7 pupils with the story of the return of the magnificent white tailed eagle.

Thanks to funding from the People’s Postcode Lottery, RSPB are able to offer free outreach sessions to Angus schools including transport to a variety of beautiful outdoor locations around the Tay Estuary.

Pupils will participate in a range of interactive activities to learn about the life cycle of the white tailed eagle, from pair bonding and nest building to raising chicks and hunting.

Workshops are on offer year round and will be 2-3 hours long depending on location. Free transport will be on a first come first served basis. So early booking is advised to avoid disappointment!

If you have any further questions please get in touch with Sara Rasmussen, Community Outreach Officer on Tel: 01738 493190 / 07568 103496 or Email: Sara.Rasmussen@rspb.org.uk

During the October break a new structure appeared within Whitehills Primary School.

Sheila Ironside, one of the school SAPSAs created a sensory igloo made from recycled milk cartons which she had been busy gathering since the summer.

The structure has been decorated with soft lighting and cushions to provide a safe, calm environment for any children who need a break from the stimulation of the classroom. The children are loving visiting the igloo and the relaxing effect it has had on them has been amazing.  We have found that by giving these children a little time to chill, they are able to engage more meaningfully when they are in the classroom.
