Over the next week or so, all class teachers will be organising online virtual chats with their classes. This will be done through Teams. Each teacher will organise a time and post a link to the chat on their Class Team. The children will be able to see and hear their teacher, and can chat to them. This is a great opportunity to touch base with their class. Please contact us on the following email addresses, or via social media if you need login details or support.

Good morning everyone! This is another wee post with some advice for emotional well-being. This is a link to an Emotion Works page you can use at home. We use Emotion works in school to help develop the children’s emotional literacy and their understanding of what happens to their bodies based on their feelings. Hopefully it helps with these times.

There is more info on the ParentClub website.
