Pupil Learning Journeys

Pupil Learning Journeys should currently be making their way to you either by email or paper copy. This is the second one this session and forms part of our reporting on pupil progress strategy.

Pupils and staff put in a lot of effort to select pieces that demonstrate the learning taking place throughout the year. Please provide them with some feedback on the profile.

If you have not received a copy, either by email or a paper copy, by Friday 21st June please let us know.

We hope you enjoy sharing in your child’s learning journey.

Hello everyone,

Just a reminder that tomorrow is our ‘Seasons For Growth’ awareness day. Children can come to school dressed in their own clothes, wearing a colour or colours  to represent their favourite season. The suggested donation is £1 and money raised will be used to purchase resources for the programme.

Reading Book Return

As we approach the end of the school year we would like to ask for any reading books to be returned that have perhaps been mislaid or turned up in an unusual place! Even if you have had the book for two weeks, two months or two years we would greatly appreciate any books to be returned to the teacher so we can start next session with as many reading books as possible.

Thank you in advance,

Miss McDowall

Pupils from P3 W have traveled through to Ingliston Showground to set up their garden for the Gardening Scotland pallet competition. Their design was one of only 20 chosen for the final.

We wish them the best of luck with their design.

If you are visiting the show this weekend please stop by and see their wonderful garden.

Thank You

Thank you to everyone who has been in touch thanking the staff for their efforts and hard work in putting together yesterday’s event. It was very much appreciated.

Our pupils all had a great day and there is much excitement whilst we wait for the scores to be totalled and the winning house announced at the next assembly.

Our pupils showed great sportsmanship and resilience despite the weather.

Here’s hoping the sun shines on us next year.

 

Sports Day Update

The weather forecast is not great for either Wednesday or Thursday this week. As Thursday appears to be worse than Wednesday, sports day will go ahead as best as possible tomorrow.  Some alterations may need to be made during the day if the weather becomes very bad.

Please come prepared with waterproof clothing. The temperature also looks low so a jumper or sweatshirt may also be required.

If you are taking your child out of school at lunchtime they will be dismissed by their class teacher from the usual exit door, not from the school office.

Parental Questionnaire 2019

Thank you to all who responded to our Parental Questionnaire during our parents evenings this week. For those of you who did not manage to complete a paper copy, an electronic version is available via the link below.

Please do not click on the link if you have already submitted your paper response.

If you would prefer a paper copy please contact the school office and one will be made available.

We value your feedback and look forward to receiving as many responses from as many sources  as possible.  Your responses will help us to plan and deliver the best possible service for the year ahead.
