Outdoor Learning

Leave a comment

As part of our school improvement plan we are committed to trying to make sure all learners from across stages receive quality outdoor learning.

Outdoor learning can take place in our surrounding countryside, our local community or simply by taking learning out into our playground, and can support other curricular areas such as Numeracy, Literacy and Health and Wellbeing.

We are trying to create a bank of parents, carers and family memberswho would be willing to support outdoor lessons.

If you would like to support our children by taking part in outdoor learning sessions please contact Mr Patterson via school office or Class Dojo.

Welcome back to all children and families from P2 to P7 and a very warm welcome to our new children and families in Primary 1.

So far all of the children have settled well into their new classes and with new class teachers and the Big Buddies have been supporting Primary 1 children.

We are also welcoming some new members of staff.  Mrs McKenzie is our new Acting Depute Headteacher whilst Mrs Kelly is on maternity leave.

Miss Reilly is our new class teacher in Primary 1 and Mr Coyle is our new PE specialist.  Mrs Hume will be working with other schools this session and we wish her success and happiness.
