Wellbeing Check-in Term 1 2021/22

Now that we are few weeks into our new school year, and our pupils have had time to settle into their new classes,  we would like to ask them to complete a simple well-being check in form as part of their homework this week. Children will be told about this in school and shown the form.

This form will allow us to check how our pupils are feeling based on the 8 well-being indicators -Safe, Healthy, Achieving, Nurtured, Active, Respected, Responsible and Included.

This is a simple form that P4-7 children should be able to complete independently. However, we would encourage parents to sit alongside their P3 children as they complete this and support where needed.

Our P2 pupils will complete this in class.

Our new  P1 pupils won’t complete this activity until Term 3: giving them more time to learn about the wellbeing indicators.

If pupils could click on the link below to complete the form before Friday 1st October that would be much appreciated.

Rights Respecting School

We have been working hard during the last year helping our children learn more about their rights.

We took part in Outright 2020 which focused on the affect of climate change, we celebrated International Women’s Day as well as celebrating and embracing Inclusion and Diversity. We placed a huge focus on mental health and celebrated Children’s Mental Health week by sharing lots of videos and activities to support this.

Each month the RRS school committee will continue to choose a ‘Right of the Month’ that will be delivered to each class to focus on and discuss. These will continue to be put on the blog and school app for everyone to  learn about.

Please have a look at our SWAY,  which shows our work so far with Children’s rights Our RRS Journey
