On Monday evening at 6pm there will an opportunity for parents to take part in the same Child Protection training that our staff (and all WL employees working with children) undertook in August.  The training, led by Mrs Berginis, will explain what the school’s role is in helping to keep children safe.

Also on Monday at 7pm we would like to welcome parents and staff to the Parent Teacher Association’s  (PTA) Annual General Meeting and then planning for the Christmas Fair.  Please come along and find out how you can be involved in helping raise funds for additional resources that are outwith the core school budget.

On Tuesday our P2 children are off to the Museum in Edinburgh – see the BLOG later in the week for photographs of their adventures!  They have been studying the dinosaurs and hoping to learn more on their trip.

P 5/4 has had a wonderful day with our Roman visitor.  They learned about life as a Roman soldier, how to get into formation like Roman soldiers, march and much, much more.  Have a look at our photos to get a taste of our learning experience.

Ask your child what they have learned today.

Keep sharing the learning!!

Children have been enjoying their first term in the nursery and we have been making the most of the nice weather and getting outdoors as much as possible. Our newsletter has gone out and we will keep you up to date through the blog, newsletter and notice board of any events happening in the nursery. We have our nursery big book for you to look through in the nursery. You will find pictures and information about what your children enjoy and what they are learning inside the book. Parents are welcome to leave comments as well. 

A new start, a class, a new teacher and a new environment has been what the children of primary one have had to deal with over the last two weeks. They are all settling in well and over the next few weeks will be learning lots of new things from finding out about themselves and feelings to literacy.
This week during big book time all children got to talk about the things they like about school.
Kimberley says, ” I love it how we get to choose our own choosing activity.”
Brendan loves being the milk monitor and all the children enjoying using the finger gym.
This week the children will be in school for lunch and the afternoon and the P7 buddy’s will be there to support the children.
