On Monday, classes took part in a Destination Judo taster session and everyone had a great time.\u00a0 P4\/3 started their block of sessions with NYCoS (National Youth Choir of Scotland) and the children really enjoyed the activities that they took part in.\u00a0 We held our first house gathering of the year this week too.\u00a0 P7 delivered their speeches in the house captain elections and pupils voted for the person that they wanted to lead their house this year.\u00a0 Congratulations to Elle and Alegra; Max and Darcey; Emma and Violet and James and Emily who were all successful and will lead our houses this year.\u00a0 Also in house gatherings, the children looked at a question from the document &#8220;How good is OUR school&#8221; and thought about how welcoming our school is and what we could do to make it even better.\u00a0 There were some really good suggestions and the school leadership team will consider how to take some of these forward. We rounded off the week with our assembly where teachers gave out values certificates to the children who will be lead learners in our classes next week.\u00a0 Well done to everyone who received a certificate today!<\/p>\n<p>Next week<\/p>\n<p>Monday &#8211; NYCoS to work with P4\/3; P1 session for parents on Literacy 2.30pm (enter via main office)<\/p>\n<p>Thursday &#8211; P7 group to Cross Country event; No woodwind lessons today<\/p>\n<p>Friday &#8211; NHS staff in school to administer flu vaccinations<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.parentclub.scot\/articles\/questions-ask-kids-about-their-day-school\">Questions to ask kids about their day at school | Parent Club<\/a> &#8211; some ideas of questions to ask your child about their day at school, hopefully you find these helpful!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve had another busy week here at Meldrum!\u00a0 We had Family Big Breakfasts for P5, P6\/5 and P7 and welcomed lots of family members to the school to hear all about school improvement plans for this year as well as &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/MeldrumPrimarySchoolBlog\/2026\/09\/04\/meldrum-messages-friday-4th-september-2026\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9272,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[182],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-whole-school"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/MeldrumPrimarySchoolBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/MeldrumPrimarySchoolBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/MeldrumPrimarySchoolBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/MeldrumPrimarySchoolBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9272"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/MeldrumPrimarySchoolBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7768"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/MeldrumPrimarySchoolBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7768\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7772,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/MeldrumPrimarySchoolBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7768\/revisions\/7772"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/MeldrumPrimarySchoolBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/MeldrumPrimarySchoolBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/MeldrumPrimarySchoolBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
