With the new term well under way, staff and pupils are becoming more familiar with the methodology of Active Literacy and using more of the resources purchased using GFG money.
We thought this would be a good time to thank all of you for supporting the GFG and in particular the committee for giving up their own time to organise the discos, quiz nights, fun family days; collate Christmas card/ gift orders; prepare tea towel templates etc. Without their hard work we would not have been able to buy this huge bank resources from which all the children will benefit.
Class sets of novels – The Hodgeheg, The Borrowers, The Last Wolf, Holes, The Butterfly Lion, The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark; group sets of The Trouble With Dragons, Harris the Hero, Skye the Puffling, The Tiny Seed; games; cards; colourful storage drawers; folders and materials staff can use to build up a large bank of resources.
Following our assessors visit on 15th January 2020, I am delighted to share with you that we have maintained our Dyslexia Friendly Schools Gold Award. The assessors commented on the lovely ethos of everyone working together to do the best for all pupils and the excellent systems in place from our ECC to P1 which ensures a smooth transition for all.
The panel identified many key areas of good practice and particularly enjoyed hearing about the work that is being developed across the school to support pupil Mental Health and Wellbeing.
