Children’s Wellbeing Survey for P5-7

Published on January 15, 2019 in 2018-2019 and Health and Wellbeing. 0 Comments Tags: P5-7, parents.

The Council and its partners are currently working with Scottish Government through a programme called Realigning Children’s Services to help to improve local services for children in your area. All primary schools in the area have been invited to take part and we are inviting all children in P5 to P7 to complete a short online questionnaire during school time on their lives and wellbeing.

Please find a leaflet and letter in the P5-7’s bags which describe the survey and allow the choice of whether to take part or not.

Another Snow Day

School is closed again today. I hope everyone is safe in this cold weather.

Things to do other than destroy your brains with devices or TV:

Go out and play in the snow, this may be the most you’ll see in your childhood (make sure you tell whoever is looking after you and are prepared for the weather)
Read
Write about your day off (any P7s who have written a blog post, and have their password, should write it up on this blog and I’ll post it)
Do some iXL maths (see homework link at the side)
Do some Spelling City (as above)
Find out more about our topic, history: GD Alfred the Great, DS King Canute, EA Edward the Confessor, JF William the Conqueror, MB Henry I, AC Richard I, DN Edward I, ChR Richard III, HM Henry VIII, LO Mary I, AM Elizabeth I, BO James VI & I, HA Charles II, RL Victoria and ON Elizabeth II.
Commit all of the dates on the sheet of Kings and Queens to memory, in preparation for your quiz next week
Draw, paint or create something
and anything else that requires thought, concentration and effort.

Bring any work in to present, like you do after holidays.

Best wishes and stay safe,

Mr A

Here are some pics from last night’s disco, which we hope everyone enjoyed. The P7s did a great job; as did all parents who helped out and contributed to the fabulous spread of grub and a great raffle, thanks again. Declan hit the jackpot and won the star prize: a sleeping bag.

Burns Supper

Here are some lovely photographs, taken by Mr McBain, of the Burns Supper held at the Village Hall on Friday night.

Everyone had a great time. The pupils were on great form and provided an evening of entertainment. The PFA also worked really hard to feed the 100 guests, keep them from getting thirsty, not to mention a brilliant raffle that topped off a fine evening.

Mrs Turnbull and Mr Archibald would like to say well done to all who contributed for their efforts and thanks again to all helpers and to Mr McBain for the great photos.
