Morningside Blog

To all of our Morningsiders,

Below you will find all of the information you need to get started with home learning whilst the schools are closed. This is just a starting point and I’m sure there will be many changes as time goes on. Although we are providing you with suggested learning activities, we in no way want you to feel under pressure to complete all of these tasks.

This is a difficult time for our parents/carers and children, and it is important to remember that we need to take care of our mental health and acknowledge that emotions will be high and everyone will need a bit of nurture. Take this opportunity to do the things you might struggle to fit in to ‘normal’ family life. Teach your children to tie shoelaces and ties, cook/bake together, go for walks/bike rides or do some arts and crafts. Make use of the vast amount of mindful activities that are available online and try to find some peace and distraction from the worries we are faced with.

Well done to all of our amazing pupils who have danced, swam, cycled and lots more to achieve these awards outwith school.

These pupils were awarded their certificates for working really hard during the last term in their Sunnybank Colour Coding sessions. Well done!

Today these boys and girls shared their amazing wider achievements.

We talked about St Andrew’s Day and showed off these lovely tartan outfits.
