Friendship Spot

Mrs Hesketh has very kindly been busy making a new friendship spot for our playgrounds.

This lovely sign is already up in the infant playground and will soon be introduced into the other playgrounds too.

Children whose friends are off school, or are still eating lunch, can go to the spot, and can find new people to play with.

The primary 1’s have particularly loved this. They have all been keen to share stories of finding new friends or playing with someone who didn’t have anyone.

We are looking forward to hearing many more lovely stories.

A Right Reminder

Articles 1-5

We should know and learn about the rights we are all entitled to.

During the last school session, our pupil groups each designed and made their own poster showing one of the articles from the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child that was important to them: Pupil Council – a right to be heard, Eco – a right to a safe environment, clean water and healthy food, Rights Busters – a right to an education, Health Committee – a right to play and the Art club – a right to join in with different clubs and activities.  During the holidays we have had these posters enlarged and turned into outdoor displays.  Today, these were put fixed to the fences out in the playground for all to see.

We are very proud of all the displays – well done!
