The children have shown resilience over the past two weeks while a number of permanent staff members have been absent from work.\u00a0 The visiting teachers have commented on the positive manner in which the children have conducted themselves during a difficult time.<\/p>\n
Student Teachers<\/span><\/p>\n Over the past two weeks we have welcomed four student teachers.\u00a0 Whilst students are on placement, class teachers supervise their planning and assessment to ensure best outcomes for children. It provides an opportunity\u00a0 for additional support and smaller group teaching in classes.<\/p>\n Mrs Cowan is teaching with Miss Wharton. Routines\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The school continue to ensure proportionate measures are in\u00a0 place to reduce the risk of Covid transmission.<\/p>\n P2-7 have returned to a 9am start with classes assembling in lines from 8.55am. All children will return to a 12.30-1.20pm lunch break. Zones now allow children to mix with children of similar stages and an opportunity to play with others outwith the class bubble.<\/p>\n Assemblies will be able to take place again however Heathery Knowe will initially only increase to\u00a0 a few classes joining together.<\/p>\n Lunch Clubs<\/span><\/p>\n The children provided an update on lunch clubs in a recent blog.<\/p>\n All classes have an opportunity to attend the library on a rota. Mid-Term Break<\/span><\/p>\n School and Nursery are closed on 14th and 15th February and there is inservice training on Wednesday 16th February. Children return to school on Thursday 17th February.<\/p>\n Thank you for your continued support.<\/p>\n Kind regards<\/p>\n Kirsty Duff<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The children have shown resilience over the past two weeks while a number of permanent staff members have been absent from work.\u00a0 The visiting teachers have commented on the positive manner in which the children have conducted themselves during a difficult time.
