Primary 1 and Primary 2 have been using Learning Journals. Over the next few weeks we would like to promote these and encourage all our parents to upload a post. We know many of you have done this already however it would be fantastic if all our children had a post from home. We are planning a few ‘how to’ and help sessions over the next few weeks. Below is a guide and video.
We had a special delivery this morning to our school garden. Keep watching to see what’s happening… 🐹🐥Zak’s papa was the delivery driver from Jewsons⭐️.
We are delighted to present our Pupil Voice groups with lanyards to show their responsibility group in school. Here are some photographs from our groups:
Pupil Council, Rights Respecting School, Eco Committee, Health & Safety Officers, Lost Property Detectives, Digital Leaders and Waste Wardens.
