What’s on this week?
Our weekly round up of news in relation to school events, outside class visits, afterschool clubs, visitors to the school and assemblies have been greatly impacted by the need to follow current Scottish Government guidelines. Therefore our weekly what’s on looks different than normal. Despite the need to reduce movement around the school and to ensure a drastic reduction in the number of visitors to the school we are still as vibrant a place as ever with all classes getting down to the important job of teaching and learning. It has also been a treat to see how well all children have adapted to new regimes and protocols. We now have a new normal and the children have transitioned remarkably well showing great responsibility.

Social Distancing
Many thanks to the majority of parents who are abiding by the advice and guidance coming from Scottish Government and the school in relation to social distancing/wearing a mask around the school at drop off and pick up times. Please avoid standing at the school gates (particulary if you are not wearing a mask) as pupils need a clear exit and other parents have to pass a congested area. It is great to see that so many of our pupils know their pick up point and can confidently meet you at a reasonable distance from the school and school gates.
