This year the nursery has worked to enhance out home links within a range of curricular areas. During the past week, Mrs Cumming has been presenting a workshop on developing skills in literacy at home, with a particular focus on the use of nursery rhymes. Parents in the nursery have now received a home link folder containing a wide selection of nursery rhymes for them to use with their child. Below you can see a selection of photographs showing what took place.
Primary 1 and 2 continued to work together this afternoon to learn about Internet safety. The boys and girls learned some vital things. Do not share personal information with anyone they do not know, do not have a Facebook until you are 13 and block and delete any strangers.
