We have made the Inspired Art Exhibition again!!!

Well done to  some of our Primary 4 and 5 children who submitted artwork to their teacher during the school closure.  Everyone’s artwork is being included in this online event.

We received a lovely congratulations video for the team at the Exhibition.

This year’s theme for P4-7 was ‘Fruit and Vegetables’. Have a look at our gallery below to see our entries.

Of course there are always a few stand out pieces of artwork, and so two of  our young artists have been selected to receive a highly commended award.  Well done to Mia and Hannah who received this award!!

Mia P5 – Crying Onion
Hannah P4 – Fruity Animals

Keeping Digital Safe over Christmas.

This Christmas many of our pupils will be finding new phones and tablets  in their Christmas stockings, lucky them! However as they get started viewing videos,  chatting to friends and live stream gaming, it is important for us to remember to keep them protected.

This year CEOP has created a series of videos to help parents keep their children safe. These short clips can be the starting points for chats about how we behave online outside of school.

Take a look at the Parents Activity Packs for some great ways to get started.
