Edinburgh ‘Sick Kids’ hospital fundraiser voting

We are very proud to share that one of our pupils has been nominated for a Sick Kids Fundraiser award.

Dylan Thomas, 11, decided to raise money for the Sick Kids Friends Foundation Teenage Cancer Fund in 2012 by swimming 200 lengths. Aged 10 when he did his sponsored swim, Dylan was inspired to help after his younger brother spent some time in the Sick Kids. Dylan is ‘a very happy lad and always cares for others’.

Please take a minute to vote for him. Simply click on Dylan and add your details to the voting form.

Vote for YOUR heroes from the hospital! Voting will close on the 1st of May and the results will be announced at our Awards Lunch on May 10th.

Thank you and good luck Dylan.

Eyemouth Primary hosts 12 Finnish teachers

We were very pleased and proud to play host to 12 teachers visiting from Finland. Last Wednesday, 24th April, our international friends spent the afternoon in various classrooms finding out about the ‘Feuerstein’ work we do in school.

Our Pupil Council did a wonderful job of welcoming the group and showing them around our school. Our visitors wanted to find out how we are using Instrumental Enrichment (Feuerstein) with our pupils. They spent time in the Nursery, the Sunflower Room, in P1s Learning Together, in P2L and in P6H.

The visit was incredibly successful with our Finnish friends commenting on how impressed they were, not just with the Feuerstein work we are doing, but with the children, the staff and the general ethos of the school!

A huge thank you to all staff and children that made the afternoon such a success.
