Rights Respecting Schools Event 2016

The Rights Respecting Schools Group organised an information event for staff, parents and members of the community.  The purpose of the event was to inform and involve all different members of the school community about the rights work being carried out.  The pupils led the event by presenting a power point and asking questions about Children’s rights.  They went on to work alongside the adults to come up with different ways the children at Boghall Primary School get their rights in school and in the community.  Fairtrade tea, coffee and goodies were served as a special treat to those who attended.

The event was well attended and a great success!  Well done to the RRS group for all their hard work!  A big thank you to those who attended and for your positive feedback on our event.

We are so grateful to the parents who gave up their time to help in our garden this morning.  The garden is looking fantastic and we have harvested a small crop of potatoes and carrots which we will prepare and cook tomorrow.

We are always keen to have parents in to help – there are many different types of jobs you can support us with.  Just speak to Mrs Ireland/Mrs Duncan or Vicky Dunnett from our Parent Council to offer your services !

Dinner hall charter

The whole school have been working on creating a dinner hall charter.  During whole school time and assembly, all the children were asked their opinion and discussed what rights should be included as well as what pupils and adults should do in order to keep the dinner hall a clean and safe place to be for all.  Some of the Rights Respecting School’s group also carried a survey during lunch time and asked pupils questions about the dinner hall for the charter.  All pupil’s and staff opinions were taken into consideration when devising the charter.  Here are some photos of the pupils from the Rights Respecting Schools group listening to others.

Article 12: Every child has the right to say what they think in all matters affecting them, and to have their views taken seriously.

Jak’s Den

Boghall Primary will be taking part in Team Jak’s ‘Bring a Gold Coin to School Day’ (£1 or £2) on Wednesday 21st September.  The children seem very familiar with the charity and we have arranged for Allison Barr – Jak’s Mum – to come and collect the money we raise and tell the children more about the work they do.  Thanks for your support in advance !

Parent help needed in school

Following our last Parent Council Meeting on Tuesday there are a couple of areas we need help with at school.

One is to lay bark in the back garden.  A group are organising themselves to do this on Thursday 22nd September.  If you let us know you can help we will give more details.  You would need to bring  a shovel and a rake if possible – and maybe even help tidy up the rest of the garden when you are here !

We also need some help to organise the library.  If you contact Vicky Dunnett on  shamaggot@hotmail.co.uk to say when you would be available she will get back to you.

We will also be sending information on a ‘help session’ on how to use the blog !

 

 

Safe parking outside school

Police were outside school this morning looking at parking.  Please make sure that you are parked safely and legally as this will happen regularly.

Cars are NOT allowed to park on the zig-zag lines at any time – even if it is to drop -off.  Please park wisely or you may be having to find money to pay for a fine.

Think You Know new material

Just to ley you know there is new material on the Think You Know website.

Also there are 4 little videos for parents about children and nude selfies – very helpful and giving good advice if this happens to your family.

Boghall Primary is a rights respecting school

We have got off to a great start this year at Boghall PS.  All classes have been busy discussing their rights and establishing rules in their new class.  Each class has been discussing and creating a class charters and encouraging each other to display rights respecting behaviour at all times.  The RRS group has been busy organising an event for all staff and members of the community to come and learn about how we are a rights respecting school.  They are looking forward to this on Wednesday and Friday of this week.

Welcome Back !

Welcome to all our new P1 pupils – we have 46 new starts !  We have also welcomed other families to our school community which now totals  291.

We hope they all enjoy their time at Boghall Primary.

Everyone seems to have had a good summer and are ready to work hard to achieve their potential.

Remember that the Blog is a very good place to find information !
