Head Teacher’s Update

First Week of Term

It’s been a great first full week back at school.  Everyone looked so smart in their school uniforms and it was lovely to hear the chatter and laughter as the children caught up with their friends and teachers after the holiday.  The children are lining up so well, and earning lots of Lovely Line Points.

Lawmuir Values

Our expectations are simple and clear, to encourage all children:

  • to be safe in all areas of the school and ensure other children are safe too.
  • to be to successful by being ready to learn and work hard in class
  • to be sensible by being respectful of all adults, classmates and other children
  • to be smart by always making the right choices

By being safe, successful, sensible and smart , children are recognised by earning Robbie Rewards in and around the school. These rewards contribute to our House Reward System and are counted and updated each week at assembly.

When children go ‘Over and Above’ in class, this is also recognised and celebrated.  Pupils who regularly go ‘Over and Above’ will be recognised through our weekly ‘School Values Awards’ ‘Head Teachers Awards’ and ‘Playground Awards’.

Pupils who have followed the school values all week will receive a green recognition sticker/stamp weekly on their chart.

Lovely Line Points

We also expect children to be safe, smart, successful and smart when lining up to come in to school.

We recognise when the children do this and award the class by awarding lining up points in the morning aswell as at playtimes and lunchtimes.

Our first weekly winners will be announced at assembly on Friday!

We hope to begin our after schools programme later in the term. Look out for more information from Miss Harper coming your way.

Class Charters

 As part of our continued work on Children’s Rights each class has been discussing UNCRC articles. Pupils have been selecting the articles most relevant to them and creating  a class charter which they promise to uphold collectively during the school year.

Robbie’s UNCRC Article of the Month

As a school we focus on one or two articles per month.

This month’s article is 42 – Knowledge of Rights.
