**IT Issues**
We are aware of a national issue with MS Teams this morning. We have been informed that this is being worked on and it is hoped that the issue will be resolved soon.
Snow Day Pictures
I will be putting together a little video for both staff and pupils to enjoy, with photos of everyone having fun in the lovely snow that we had. This video will be shared on the main blog page. If you would like to send in any photos to be included then please send these to my email address: danielle.kinnaird@eastayrshire.org.uk. Thank you, and I can’t wait to see all your photos! Please have your images emailed to me by 9am on the 13th to be included in the video 🙂

★ ECC Star of the week ★
We have started Star of the Week in the ECC to reward children’s achievements. This week we were looking for ‘Super sitting’. Well done to all of our winners!
Health and Wellbeing
Due to the school closure, areas of the Health and Well-being curriculum were unable to be completed last session. For this reason, teachers will be covering certain aspects of the Health and Well-being RSHP (Relationships, Sexual Health, Parenthood) outcomes throughout October. Parental leaflets for each CfE level can be found under Health and Well-being in the information tab in the top menu. These will allow you to be aware of the experiences and outcomes pupils will cover and what they will learn during these lessons appropriate to the age and stage of the pupils.
The BIG Anti-Bullying Assembly 2020
Had today been a normal Monday, Mrs. McKee, Mrs. Lawson and myself would have been taking the P1-3 and P4-7 assemblies and discussing the above subject with the children – Anti Bullying. Attached are some resources for parents which could be used to discuss this important matter with your children at home. There is also a document with ideas to support children with worries or anxiety about being back in the school environment. Mrs. McLaughland
