This is National Anti-Bullying Week and the theme is ‘Power for Good’. This ties in well with our school values – respect, honesty, kindness, responsibility and perseverence. Members of the Think Tank Group have been going around classes reminding children of strategies to use if they are being bullied. Cyber bullying is increasing and this is something we are working hard on in Meldrum Primary. Childline advise that the statistics are up 90% over the last year where children are seeking advice on issues regarding cyber bullying. Some guidance for parents can be found on the following two links:

This Friday is Children in Need day and the children will receive a letter encouraging them to wear spots on Friday and bring a small donation towards this worthy cause.
As always, please be careful at this time of year. West Lothian Council have issued some safety information in consultation with the Fire and Rescue Service. Please see the links below:
Please find attached, information for parents on the National Improvement Framework to ensure equity and excellence for your child.
