Thank you for coming along this morning and sharing our Jubilee Celebration with us. It was wonderful to be back together again and it even stayed dry. We will post the video and photographs on the school blog next week.

The raffle raised the fantastic sum of £342. This money will be used to offset the cost of the Jubilee water bottles.

Thank you for your wonderful support.

RBA P7 TRANSITION MAY 22

Dear parent / carer 

I am pleased to share with you the link to our P7 Information Video. As we are currently unable to welcome large groups of parents to the school for a face-to-face information evening, we decided to record a video that you can view with your child instead. This video should answer many of the questions you may have about the final stages of our transition programme. 

The video can be viewed by clicking the link below:

Or through our school blog’s P7 Transition section: 

https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/ea/therobertburnsacademy/p7-transition/ 

We would also like to invite you to an online drop-in session on Wednesday 25^th May from 6.30-7.30pm.  There will be no presentation or content shared during this session, this is an opportunity for parents and carers to ask any questions they may have. I would encourage you to watch the information video and look at the content on the P7 Transition page of our school blog in the first instance.  

You can join us for the online session via the following link:

SECOND LEVEL RELATIONSHIPS, SEXUAL HEALTH and PARENTHOOD

There have been many positive changes in Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenthood (RSHP) practice in recent years. Evaluations have shown that there is much about RSHP that children and young people like and enjoy in relation to their learning within RSHP at school.

However, learners also identified shortfalls in key areas such as the breadth of topics, relevance to the pressures they face in current-day relationships and a sense that RSHP is often not a ‘real’ subject, that it is occasionally tagged on, or given low priority.

This meant there was a need to reflect on how learners needs are met in an everchanging context, whether this is in terms of concerns we may have for children and young people, negative experiences of social media or partner violence – or positive cultural shifts, including increased awareness of the rights of learners with disabilities or LGBT young people.

Please click on the PDF below to view the information leaflet that your child came home with today.

Second level Parent Leaflet RSHP

If you wish any further information, please do not hesitate to contact the school.

Thank you.

Our annual prizegiving ceremony will be held on Tuesday 28th June at 11am in our outdoor areas.

The children will be in the playground and parents/family will be on the grass areas.

The main focus will be the presentation of prizes and certificates to the children.

The Head teacher’s report and the Parent Council report will be available to read on the day and on the school app.

Should the weather be wet and windy, our prize giving will be held inside for children only. Photographs of the prize winners and classes will be on the school blog.

Please note no photographs of children should be taken at any school event. This is a Child Protection issue. The school will take photographs of the children permitted to have their images taken throughout the event.

We thank you for your understanding.

Please ensure your child comes to school tomorrow in clothing suitable for gardening, suitable footwear and a waterproof jacket. Can you please also send a change of clothes and shoes in case they get wet. This could be their PE kit rather than school uniform.

If you wish any further information please do not hesitate to contact the school on 01290 700351.

Thank you.

Sports day will be held on Wednesday 8th or Wednesday 15th June – weather permitting.
