Every count is important so, if you don’t see anything, please still submit your result. Finding out which birds don’t visit your area is as important as understanding those which do!
Robert Burns Academy have made fabulous help guides on how to work Microsoft Teams. It helps with accessing teams, working with assignments and uploading your work. A link will also be posted into all P3-P7 Teams.

Please find below an EXCELLENT powerpoint presentation designed to help parents with developing their child’s speech sounds.
We know that this is a really important development area for children and can be tricky to know what to do if your child is having speech sound difficulties.
You will need to download the powerpoint to be able to hear the clips. Viewing the powerpoint is not enough and will not let you access the ‘voice over ‘ sections. All children from P3-7 can access Microsoft Office for free by downloading it through GLOW.
