Halloween Fun Day 2021

We are so excited to announce that we are hosting  a Halloween Fun day on Friday 29th October, supported by our Parent Council!

Pupils are encouraged to come to school dressed up in their Halloween costumes and enjoy games, competitions and treats in class.

Each class will be awarding a “best costume” prize, voted for by the pupils.  Prizes are being donated by the Parent Council.

There will also be a “Design a Pumpkin” competition with the winner from each class being gifted their VERY OWN PUMPKIN!

It’s going to be SPOOKTACULAR!

 

School Improvement Plan 2021-2022

Please see below a summary of this session’s School Improvement Plan for session 2021-2022.  Thank you for your support during our consultation exercises.

You will find our full School Improvement Plan for session 2021-2022 and last session’s Standards and Quality Report in the DOWNLOADS and DOCUMENTS tab within ALL ABOUT OUR SCHOOL tab at the top of the page.

Playground Buddies 2021-2022

As you know we are a PATHS school.  We deliver PATHS wellbeing programme across the school from P1-P7.  This involves teaching our children Positive Alternative Thinking Strategies in a bid to promote positive behaviour and wellbeing.

At the end of last session all of our Classroom Assistants were trained to ensure consistent delivery of the programme across the school.

This session I am delighted to announce that some of our P6 pupils have taken on a leadership role and have been appointed PATHS Buddies.  Their role is to support the younger children in the playground by helping them to find friends, play fun games and support them if they feel overwhelmed.

At the beginning of the session our P2’s and P3’s found the walk along the ECC lane a bit daunting in the morning.  Our Buddies have worked hard to support the wee ones by meeting them at the gate prior to 9am and walking them along into the playground or school on a wet morning.  As a result we have had positive results and some great feedback from parents.  Keep up the good work P6!

P1-3 Learning Journals Additional Contacts

We are delighted with the response to the use of Learning Journals by parents/carers. The children really enjoy uploading their work to share.

Our approach to using this reporting format is…

  • 2 stories will be uploaded each week – this is an overview of what has been happening in class. Therefore this may not be your child’s individual work.
  • 1 observation of your child’s own work will be uploaded once in a three week rota as the classes are set in small focus groups to have that detailed focus time. Therefore every 3 weeks your child will have a personal observation uploaded. This will be on the subject of literacy – writing, as we are aiming to raise attainment in this particular area through our school improvement plan.

Parental Contributions

  • Please use the parental contributions area to share learning from home, be it learning to tie shoe laces, baking a cake and following the recipe, certificates for dancing, gymnastics, karate etc. Anything that shares the fantastic learning opportunities in the home and beyond. We want to know and these can then support with their Wider Achievements awards.

Adding more parents/carers/family members to be able to view your child’s profile is an option that is available. If you wish others in your family to have this access, please complete the contact form below.

Thank you, Mrs Johnstone
