It was great to be back at Portpatrick school seeing all the pupils’ faces as well as meeting three new children! We had great fun settling back into school.
Our younger pupils had some time playing in their new classroom as well as completing some art tasks and showing us how well they know the alphabet!
Our older pupils logged onto our new education platform – Purple Mash. This can used at home for extra support on various aspects of learning. Parents can also access the platform through a Parent code which will be sent out with homework diaries next week!
Our children played some board games with Barbara and Mrs. Henry. This will be available for children to participate in more this year as the school looks to further our childrens ‘meta-skills’. These skills include developing abilities such as self-management – focusing, integrity, adapting, initiative and Social intelligence – communicating, feeling, collaborating, leading.
Keep your eyes on the blog for all the updates of the fun activities we will be getting stuck in to!
Here’s some photos of our Portpatrick pupils from our first day back…
