Week Beginning 25th August 2014

Welcome Back

It is great to be back after a seven week holiday. I hope you all had a great summer and are happy to be back at school. All our young people look very smart and have come back to school ready and prepared to learn. It never fails to amaze me just what an absolute credit our youngsters are to our school community.

The summer holiday was a busy one for the school. A lot of building work was going on and most of this is now finished but some work still needs to be completed. One of the on going consequences of the work not being completed is that we will not be able to provide a tuck shop for the next few weeks.

The Longhaugh Support Group is now situated within what was previously our infant department. I know many of you are not entirely sure what service the LSG provides. A future blog will explain in more detail exactly what it is but in short it is a city wide provision for supporting pupils from across Dundee.

As the LSG is now in the main building primary 1 , primary 1/2 an primary 2 are now in the annex.

Weekly Diary

Already, this early in to the session, things beginning to be very busy.

Primary 1

Our new primary one pupils started on Wednesday. It has been a great start and every single pupil has settled in well. They have already begun our literacy scheme, Read Write Inc learning new sounds.

This Thursday the primary 1’s will have their picture taken for the Evening Telegraph. More details will be sent to parents and carers early next week.

Newsletter

Our first newsletter was issued this week and you should have found it in school bags. It is our intention to have a minimum of one newsletter per term. There is lots of important information contained in newsletters.
