Staffing Update

Leave a comment

It is with mixed emotions that we share
the news that Mrs Hutchison will be
retiring at the end of June.

Mrs Hutchison has been part of the Deerpark Family for
many years and has developed very positive
relationships with children and families
during her time as well as working hard to
ensure that our children have the very
best experiences whilst at school.

We are sad to lose Mrs Hutchison but delighted
that she will be spending her time with
family and friends enjoying life.

We would like to wish Mrs Hutchison all the very
best in this new and exciting chapter

Eco Warriors

Trees by hrumThe Eco Warriors spent their time this week planting trees on part of the playing field that they have designated as the new Wildlife Area.
They would really appreciate that anyone playing in/around that area respect the trees and all the hard work they put into planting them. It will be sectioned off, in due course, but meantime we hope that the trees can thrive where they are.

Image result for assembly clipartWelcome back to Deerpark Primary School and our final term of this session. It is great to see everyone after our two week break.

We talked about our special visitors coming into school next week to see what it is in Deerpark Primary School. Our visitors will be visiting classes and meeting with children, parents and staff throughout the week.

Primary 1W talked about their exciting afternoon yesterday experimenting and playing with the milk crates as part of our new loose parts play equipment. Jake E and Connor were able to explain that they used the crates to stand on and try to reach the branches of the trees. Ross explained that he worked with others to build a den for Rosie the cat. Mrs Bernard explained that sadly we had to buy anti-vandal paint to protect the storage shed from people climbing and standing on the roof. It is already buckled but we are hopeful that the anti-vandal paint will help prevent this from happening again.

Stewart House Captains , gave out Numeracy Star awards. Numeracy Stars for this week are Euan , Thomas N , Noah P, Logan & Lacey, Chloe , Kadi and Milly .

Wallace House Captains gave out Literacy Stars for this week. They are Tyler, Jake E, Nikodem & Evie, Ronald , Luke , Harry and Dylan B  and Lewis L.
