This week we will be celebrating Children’s Mental Health Week. Mrs McMurdo will be speaking to us about it in Get2gether on Monday morning. The theme for the week is Let’s Connect. Let’s Connect is about making meaningful connections. Human beings thrive in communities, and this connection is vital for our wellbeing. When we have healthy connections – to family, friends and others – this can support our mental health and our sense of wellbeing. And when our need for rewarding social connections is not met, we can sometimes feel isolated and lonely – which can have a negative impact on our mental health.
As parents and carers, you play an important role in your child’s mental health. Click the link below to find a range of free resources that you can access:

Our Classroom Assistants took part in a training session on Thursday with our PATHS coordinator Katrina McGovern. Considering PATHS messages, they made a plan to improve our playground. Watch this space for more information!
Amy and Aleesha, our JRSO officers, presented an informative PPT to both infant and upper assemblies on Friday. They explained that we will be celebrating Be Bright Be Seen day on Friday 25th November. Children should come to school wearing bright and creative clothing.
Please look at the website below for key messages about the importance of being bright near the road!
The United Nations’, Universal Children’s Day, is on 20th November. This important, worldwide celebration happens every year. It is a day for everybody to think about children, help create a friendly world for every child and to help children know their own rights.
During Friday’s Get Together, we explored how people around the world were working hard to protect children’s rights. We discussed how taking part in Anti-Bullying Week was a good way to highlight children’s rights and to set up systems to ensure these rights are protected.
As Thistle had the most points in Term 1, the house captains, Bruce and Orla, have been busy planning a fun reward session for them in the gym hall tomorrow. Can you please ensure that if your child is in Thistle house, they come to school wearing their leggings/jogging bottoms, polo shirt and have indoor trainers with them.
Thank you!
