Early Level Transition
Today the pre school children came over from the ECC to enjoy discovery time with the current P1 and P1/2 children. The aim of the visit was to allow the children to visit the school building and become familiar with the classrooms. They will visit another twice to allow this aim to be covered and then various other transition opportunities will be planned.

Communication Friendly Schools – BSL Sign of the fortnight
We are on our journey to becoming a “Communication Friendly School.” Mrs Johnstone is our Communication Champion and she has her leadership group working along side her to develop this in our school. We have lots to do to achieve this and need to cover aspects in 5 areas to be successful.
One way we want to become a Communication Friendly School is by introducing the use of British Sign Language (BSL) and encouraging everyone to use is appropriately. We will share our SIGN OF THE FORTNIGHT video which will show you how to do the signs.
This fortnight, we are introducing – thank you, well done and sorry.

P1A, P1B, P2 and P2/3 Summer Outing
All of the classes had a fantastic day out at Dumfries House today and the children are all a credit to our school and their families. We had an excellent day and this video says it all about the fun had by our P1A and some of our P1B children sneaked into some pictures. Enjoy the short video. I am sure the children would all be exhausted this evening because they never stopped the whole day.
