Remember to send in news of wider achievement either via Seesaw or by emailing the class teacher.  Details were in this term’s learning overview:  click here to view on website.

This week at learn to learn we will hear more about UNCRC article 12 – all about respecting the views of the child.  This is where the idea for our Making A Difference or MAD groups came from.  We give children a voice in leading aspects of school improvement.  Our first MAD meeting will be next week.

There are concerns from the wider community regarding children’s behaviour at the Top Park by some pupils.  An email has been sent to the main year groups where specific concerns have been raised.  Over last weekend there has been some attempted fire related vandalism in our main playground – please can our school community contact the police if they see anything of concern.

Classes will visit our local library either this Thursday or next. P1-3 and P7 visited the Larick Centre’s Scottie – Harbour –  on Friday afternoon.
