Let’s Connect is about making meaningful connections. Human beings thrive in communities, and this connection is vital for our wellbeing. When we have healthy connections – to family, friends and others – this can support our mental health and our sense of wellbeing. And when our need for rewarding social connections is not met, we can sometimes feel isolated and lonely – which can have a negative impact on our mental health.
As parents and carers, you play an important role in your child’s mental health. Click the link below to find a range of free resources that you can access:

Primary 4 pupils will be starting music sessions with Mrs Hill after the February break. The sessions will focus on rhythm skills to help prepare pupils for learning a string instrument when they move into Primary 5.
P6/7 read an extract about the Legend of Robin Hood and then had to write a few paragraphs describing what happened to Guy of Guisborne after he chased Robin into the forest ……
**example on our sidebar
This week Primary 6/7 have been busy studying 3 maps of Ochiltree from the past until present day. They were finding where they lived aswell as important local landmarks.
They looked at the legend, grid lines and contour lines.
Emma enjoyed figuring out where the River Lugar went.
P6/7 were looking at different still life paintings by artists. They then drew their own Scottish themed drawings with a cubioid, cylinder and soft piece of material with folds in it. It was a challenging task but they all did a superb job – don’t you agree?
The next meeting of the Ochiltree Primary School Parent Council will take place in person on Wednesday 1st February at 7pm in the Ochiltree Hub.
If you are unable to attend in person and would like to attend online, please email the Parent Council at ochiltreeparentcouncil20@gmail.com
