Below is a presentation completed by young people talking about their experiences of Dyslexia.
As part of Anti-bullying Week, we would like to invite all children to wear odd socks to school to celebrate that we are all different.
As part of Scottish Book Week children can come to school dressed as a book character or bring a prop from a book, i.e a mixing bowl from George’s Marvellous Medicine or a wand from Harry Potter. Children do not have to dress up if they do not want to.
I would like to create a ‘Poppy Field’ display within the School and ECC to raise the awareness of ‘Armistice Day’. Armistice Day is on 11 November and is also known as Remembrance Day or ‘Poppy Day’.
It marks the day World War One ended, at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918. A two-minute silence is held at 11am to remember the people who have died in wars.
The Head Teacher challenge this month is to design a Poppy to be put on our display. These can be designed in anyway you can think of, using any material you choose. It should reflect the theme of remembrance and peace. It should be no bigger than the palm of your hand.
When you have made your poppy please write your name and class on the back of it and bring it into school by the 10th November to be displayed.
This week we are raising awareness throughout the school about the strengths and challenges associated with Dyslexia, as part of Dyslexia Awareness Week Scotland.
Dyslexia Awareness Week this year is all about ‘Unlocking Potential’. To tie in with coming out of lockdown, the title reflects all the amazing and sometimes unexpected ways that children and adults have adapted to our ‘new normal’, not to mention parents, teachers and others. It’s not been easy but we have been struck by the resilience shown by so many. -Dyslexia Scotland, 2015, https://www.dyslexiascotland.org.uk/dyslexia-awareness-week
