Remembrance Day Get2gether

We were delighted to welcome Christine Wilson and our local minister Ken Yorke to NCPS to our Friday Get2gether.  They spoke to the children about special memories, including what we should remember when we see the poppy.  The children were reminded that poppies are worn as a show of support for the Armed Forces community.   The poppy is a well-known and well-established symbol, one that carries a wealth of history and meaning with it.  House Captains will continue to go round classes this week to collect donations for Poppy Scotland.

The feedback praised the fantastic work we have carried out during this journey. It was recognised how challenging these times have been and celebrated that we were able to keep our Eco-Schools work going on despite all. We covered all Seven Elements of the Eco-Schools programme. Despite the restrictions that have been in place, staff and pupils have shown commitment and determination in completing your planned actions.

Achieving a Green Flag Award means a good amount of versatility and commitment from staff and pupils. Our evidence showed that it has been a busy and impactful journey as the understanding and connection with making the world more sustainable has been very powerful and pupils have not only been taking actions in school but also within the community. Staff has helped to create a nurturing, inclusive, innovative, and stimulating learning environment, and a respectful and positive ethos by working closely with everyone in the school community. We have taken a unique chance to reflect on our findings, reflecting on what the pupils have learned and how to go forward.

All pupils benefited from a wide range of challenging, motivating, meaningful and fun learning experiences which support them to develop creativity, resilience, and independence. Pupils have learned how they can take action on a local and global scale to develop a more sustainable lifestyle for the benefit and preservation of the planet. Their efforts throughout the journey should support them to become successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens, and effective contributors.
