At NCPS, we try to integrate Rights Respecting Schools into all areas of our curriculum. Before lockdown, Mr McClure’s class were responsible for rolling out the programme of learning this year…. However, now we are looking for some super support from across the school. This will look like:

• creative ways in visualising the different articles;
• completing the different tasks that will be posted on here;
• creating a video describing the right of the fortnight!

Here is examples of some amazing visualisations:

This weeks focus is on the Holocaust Memorial Day. Please follow the link below and click on the download button for suggested activities for infants and uppers. If you complete any of the activities can you please email the work to: john.mcclure@eastayrshire.org.uk 🤪!

Article of the Week

Our teaching staff and Senior Leadership Team actively monitor the class use of Microsoft Teams and it has came to our attention that in some cases in recent days, class Teams pages have displayed some undesirable behaviours.

• Please keep the general channel related to school work. Your class teacher may add a ‘chatty channel’ which will allow you to chat with your friends, but please refrain from doing this on the general channel as work posts then get lost amongst the chats.

• Make sure that what you are typing is appropriate. Staff and your peers can see this. Any offensive of hurtful comments will be deleted. Please remember to be kind.

• Please be mindful of what time you are accessing Teams. Try to keep this within school hours.

• Whilst in a Live lesson, please conduct yourself as you would be encouraged to be in class, well behaved and mannerly at all times.

We encourage our parents/carers to monitor this closely too.

Thank you for your continued support.

When you click on the link below, it will take you to a video with today’s PE lesson focusing on Staying Physically Active. Take part in the activities and remember to share examples of your learning to Mr Hastings; gary.hastings@eastayrshire.org.uk or share on your Teams Page. Good luck!!

WEEK 2 Overview

This weeks right of the fortnight is: Article 17-

“Every child has the right to think what they want and to practise their religion, as long as they are not stopping other people from enjoying their rights!”

Have a look below at P6-7 explaining the right:

Unfortunately we can’t complete Rich Tasks like we normally do at NCPS. So this year P6-7 have been chosen as the lucky class to continue with obtaining our Rights Respecting Schools award. They have created their own school logo, new right of the fortnight sheet and new right cards. The video below highlights our new ideas as well as describing the right of the fortnight. We will post a new video every 2 weeks to highlight the new right!

We had an amazing day yesterday seeing some of our P7’s and giving them their hoodies. Again, a huge thank you to our Parent Council who made this all possible with their generosity.
