Information from West Lothian Council regarding school closures

We note today’s announcement by the First Minister regarding schools closing to pupils from Monday 23 March. We are awaiting further details from the Scottish Government, and will confirm details with pupils and parents/carers as soon as we can. Extensive preparations have already been made for this situation and we will work to maintain learning and to support students at this difficult time.

Primary 6/5 were tasked with creating a musical/percussion instrument at home and bringing it in to share with the class. Well done everyone, they look (and sound) fantastic!

Titanic Topic – Parental Engagement Session

P5.4 and P6.5 are excited to start a new cross-curricular topic all about the Titanic and we need your help! We are holding a parental engagement session on Friday 13th March from 09:15am – 10:00am. This will be a collaborative working session with teachers, parents and pupils to brainstorm, share ideas and shape the planning for our new topic.

If you cannot attend, we would still value your input and will send home a brief form to capture any of your ideas and suggestions.

Thanks for your support,
Mrs Strain & Mrs Thomson
