Pr. 3 pupils were involved in designing and making their own board games as part of their personal projects. Their teachers were most impressed and delighted by the inventiveness of the final products.

Pr.2 and Pr.7 Paired Reading

Celebrating with Seasons for Growth
Several of our pupils undertook work with Mrs.Elliott and Seasons for Growth to support them with their feelings of personal loss. Here they are celebrating after they completed their support programme.
What happened on our Growth Mindset Day?
We started off our school day with a whole school Growth Mindset Assembly. The pictures show that it was highly interactive and informative. Scott, the leader, then worked with classes from Pr. 4 – 7 throughout the day delivering workshops that focussed children on developing a growth mindset in comparison to having a fixed mindset. As a school we have a clear vision in regard of raising children’s aspirations so that they can achieve and be all they can be with effort and determination.
Growth Mindset Day
On Thursday the whole school will join together for a special assembly on Growth Mindset. The team will also work with classes from Pr. 4 – 7 throughout the day and will then have a chat with staff after the school day. Parents are invited to attend an information evening in the school hall 6.00pm – 7.00pm.
