Rights Respecting Schools Parent Survey

As part of our journey towards gaining our Rights Respecting School Level 2 award, we would like to ask your opinion on the learning attitudes and behaviour of the children at Bankton Primary School. We would be really grateful if you could follow the link to the Survey Monkey questionnaire and answer the questions as honestly as you can. There will be a follow up questionnaire in a few months to measure the impact of RRS in our school.

On Wednesday 5th October, Primary 7 went to JYHS for their German Adventure.

We had to go around JYHS and find different cities in Germany.

We were put into teams with 3 or 4 people one or two from Dedridge and a pupil from JYHS.

It was really fun and we had to use our problem solving skills and got to learn some German vocabulary and a little bit about German cities and German culture.
