Dear Parent,
\nWe are almost at the end of the first term and I am delighted to report that school has functioned remarkably well thanks to the resilient and good-natured way in which pupils have approached the new rules and new ways of working. It really has been a pleasure to be back in school, although I know that pupils (and staff) are now ready for a well-earned break. Please remember that Monday 19th October is an in-service day and pupils return on Tuesday 20th October.
\nI hope that you and your families are able to relax and enjoy some time together.
\nI have attached below a few items for your information:<\/p>\n
NATIONAL 5 OCTOBER REVISION RESOURCES
\nTo support our S4 pupils in consolidating their learning, staff have produced a suite of October revision resources for pupils studying National 5 courses. These resources have been uploaded to the Classwork section of each Google classroom under the heading October Revision.
\nI hope that the materials will be helpful in supporting pupils who wish to use them. Please note, however, that there is no expectation that pupils complete any of these materials during the October break. Pupils have not had an easy term and need time to relax. All teaching and revision materials will remain on the Google Classroom and pupils can access them at any point during the course of the session.<\/p>\n
