Month: March 2020

It is me, Joe! I have chest infection for the last week and so now I have to be in isolation until Saturday. I have been missing my friend’s lots and I even miss school and maybe some of the teachers.

Can’t believe school is going to be closed. I’m a bit worried about it actually as we will not see much of each other

Here are some of the things have been doing while I have been off sick.

• Raising frogspawn that I rescued from a flooded field near my house (see my picture)
• I have been doing some extra homework that Miss Dale set
• I have also been coughing a lot
• Walking my dog Beans
• Listening to audiobooks, like Harry Potter and a ‘Birthday boy’ by David Baddiel
• And playing my new computer game called ‘Goose game’ on my Switch
• and have been watching movies and my favourite Star Wars ones as you probably know
• Drawing (see my kingfisher picture below)

I’d love to hear what you’ve been up to in the last couple of weeks and what you get up to while schools closed.

Please see the message below from our Director; I will be in touch when I have further information.  Thanks  P. Dale

MESSAGE TO PARENTS FROM DIRECTOR SKILLS, EDUCATION AND LEARNING

 Dear Parents

Covid19 Pandemic

I wanted to write to all families to confirm the message from the First Minister earlier this afternoon that schools and nurseries across Scotland will close from the end of the school day on Friday.  I will provide more detail on how we plan to support you and your family during this very difficult time as soon as this information becomes available.

We will send all information directly to Headteachers and will ensure that all Council communication channels (Website, Facebook and Twitter) are updated with the latest information for you.

If you are a worker within Health and Social Care or the Emergency Services, or if you have a senior phase pupil preparing for exams, targeted information will follow.

We ask that you continue to remain in contact with your school and your Headteacher if you have any concerns at all.  Thank you for your support as we work through this difficult time.

Yours Sincerely,

Dr Gillian Brydson.
