Kirkton of Largo church continued to<br \/>\nsupport the school through inviting all the children to their 400th Picnic celebration and to<br \/>\ndecorate the ten Christmas trees. As have Largo Communities Together by involving children in<br \/>\nart competitions, beach cleans, discovery walks and their Big Picnic on the common. The children<br \/>\nperformed for our visitors from the French town of Villene-Sur-Sienne to celebrate their twinning<br \/>\nwith Lundin Links, Lower and Upper Largo was amazing. Learning French in school now has a<br \/>\nreal purpose which motivated our senior children to write in French to their local school children.<br \/>\nAll staff worked on developing inclusive learning environments to try to ensure all learner\u2019s needs<br \/>\nare accommodated. All classes have a calm corner and resources that will support all kinds of<br \/>\nlearning. All teachers used the refreshed Fife Council Progressive Pathways to plan. This supports<br \/>\nthe solid foundation skills that enable further learning and application of knowledge and skills.<br \/>\nMrs Connor and Miss Hazel worked with parents to create a Communication Policy for Lundin Mill<br \/>\nwhich has been distributed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"233\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/lundinmillps\/school-improvement-planning\/report2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/lundinmillps\/uploads\/sites\/12704\/2024\/09\/27135249\/report2.png\" data-orig-size=\"253,174\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"report2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/lundinmillps\/uploads\/sites\/12704\/2024\/09\/27135249\/report2.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/lundinmillps\/uploads\/sites\/12704\/2024\/09\/27135249\/report2.png\" class=\"size-full wp-image-233 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/lundinmillps\/uploads\/sites\/12704\/2024\/09\/27135249\/report2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"253\" height=\"174\" \/>Mrs Adam worked with all classes and parents to refresh our<br \/>\nschool vision, values and aims.

The children would also take<br \/>\nSIMOA, the purple elephant home at the weekend. This showed their families how SIMOA helps<br \/>\nthe children assess risks for themselves. e.g. wearing seatbelts in the car and having child safety<br \/>\nseats. This was a very successful initiative, so much so that the Care Inspectorate published an<br \/>\narticle on how Lundin Mill Nursery were developing SIMOA in their News letter that goes out to<br \/>\nall care establishments in Scotland.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wider Achievements<\/strong> are celebrated throughout the school, children share their out of school<br \/>\nsuccesses in class and sometimes at assembly too. There are many successes and achievements<br \/>\ncelebrated from our nursery children taking part in BookBug sessions at the local library to our<br \/>\nP7s fund raising for their end of school, Big Day Out! Our transitions from playgroup to nursery<br \/>\nwere successful as were our nursery to P1 and our P7 to S1 at Waid.<br \/>\nIf we know about a child\u2019s successes out of school we will share and many of our children and<br \/>\nyoung people are very successful and achieve lots on an individual and team basis. Our children<br \/>\nattend many after school clubs and there is lots of talent at Lundin Mill.<\/p>\n<p>The Pupil Equity Funds granted to Lundin Mill support us to keep the costs down for families, e.g.<br \/>\nwe bought in a panto using pupil equity funding and this also paid for buses to the church events.<br \/>\nICT programmes e.g. Sumdog (numeracy), Nessy (literacy, dyslexia) and Seesaw (class<br \/>\ncommunications) subscriptions are also supported by PEF along with keeping our netbook stock<br \/>\nrefreshed. These funds also secure more hours for our Pupil Support Staff which helps us support<br \/>\nchildren with intervention groups. e.g. children struggling socially and emotionally e.g. Kitbag,<br \/>\nKimochis or our Breakfast Club, which supports children who find the transition from home to<br \/>\nschool difficult.
