since August. Mrs McKenzie will be greatly
missed and we wish her all the very best in
her new post.

Mrs McDowall will return from maternity
leave as class teacher to Primary 4 on 22
January.

Mrs Kelly, Principal Teacher, will
work with Primary 4 full time until then.

Mrs Kelly, Depute Headteacher, will return
from maternity leave on 19 February. We
very much look forward to welcoming both
Mrs McDowall and Mrs Kelly, back to
Deerpark.

Snapshot Jotters

Leave a comment

From 6 to 10 November all children’s learning was recorded in their Snapshot Jotter.

These were sent home with children on Friday 17 November.

We’d be grateful if you could spend a few minutes looking through this with your child and discussing their learning.

There is an evaluation on the final page for the week where you can read your child’s comments and add your own thoughts too.

Snapshot jotters should be returned to school by 27 November so that they can be used again in May 2018.

We hope that you find this useful prior to parents’ evenings.
