We use our Learning Journals as a way of reporting to parents throughout the year and we are wanting to make sure that every parent has the opportunity to access these.

Through observing the parental data on Learning Journals we are aware that not all parents are accessing this wonderful resource and we want to help everyone to do so, in order to keep you up to date with your child’s learning.

We are holding a drop in Parent Workshop on THURSDAY 19th JANUARY at 3pm in the gym hall. Childcare will be provided to allow parents to attend the drop in. Once you have collected your child at home time, please come to the Community Entrance.

Bring your questions and queries. We would love to help you!

If you would like to come along, please fill in the following form to let us know how many people are coming.

The Speech and Language Therapy team share top tips to help get wee people talking. As there are shared, we will share these as they are posted. They are excellent tips to help with improving speech and language in children.

We had lots of fun learning  BSL for the “Sing a Rainbow” song.  We wanted to share our fantastic efforts with everyone.

Our BSL sign of the fortnight is

• help you
• help me
• numbers 0-10

we encourage everyone to learn these signs.

What an amazing turnout at our Christmas Fair!  Thanks to everyone who supported the school by attending and donating.

The P7 Residential fundraiser still has a few squares remaining, with the opportunity to win £100!

If you would like to enter, our P7’s will be coming round the classes starting tomorrow.  Squares cost £2, with the winner being drawn once all 100 squares are sold.  Square will be sold on a first come first served basis.

Please send £2 in with your child if you would like to purchase a square!  Good luck!

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.
