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.
Well done to our Stars of the Week who demonstrated one of our school VALUES this week! We are extremely proud of you all for working hard to display our school values.
P1 – Clay C for MUTUAL RESPECT
P1/2 – Isla S for DETERMINATION

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.
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.
Don’t forget we also have our Winter Jacket Project in school. If you have any winter coats your children have outgrown, we are gladly taking donations. Or if you are in need of a warm coat for your child this winter, please contact the school and let us know which size and we will source one for you.

We were delighted to have a visit from Chris from the SSPCA on Friday to both our infant and upper Get2gethers.
He told us all about the charity and what we should do if we suspect an animal is in danger. Our free pencils and stickers will be useful for reminding us of the telephone number should we ever need it!
