Sign of the Week

Leave a comment

Each week, we are going to introduce a sign of the week to the pupils and staff in the school. With the help of Mrs Douglas, our student teacher in P5/6, we are starting off with ‘Good Morning.’

Each week, we will post a video of how to carry out the sign on the blog, as well as having pictures up around the school.

We would love to see as many people as possible using the signs we show you, we believe that using sign-along is an inclusive way to enable all our pupils to communicate.

With sign-along, we encourage everyone to say the words as well as using the action. Over time, we hope to have a good bank of signs to use .

We will ask pupils to help create the video and sign each week, thank you to Conor for helping us this week!

SMUHA Enterprisers – Final Jewellery Design

2 Comments

I will be placing the orders for this beautiful necklace on Friday.

Please get contact me if you would like to order one.

During SMUHA week, some enterprising pupils from P6 went up to Shetland Jewellery’s workshop in Weisdale. They learned all about the jewellery making process, and then came back to school to create their own design. The group worked together to create a piece that has the school logo’s lighthouse, a peerie galley and a Celtic knotwork sky.

Sophie Whitehead-Robertson has worked her magic over the week to have a completed piece, based on the pupil’s drawings.

We are delighted that parents, friends and families are able to order this unique piece. The pendant will cost £40, an can be ordered through the school office. Please email us for any more information/to place an order.

At special request, this piece can also be made into a brooch.

The price we are able to offer you is fantastic, and much lower should it be bought off the shelf.
