Reminders
Dear parent/ carer,
I hope you had a lovely weekend, just a wee email with a few updates and reminders.
Outdoor shoes
A lot of our children are keen to play on the grass areas which can be muddy and damp at times. A gentle reminder that if your child wants to play in this area they should have a pair of outdoor shoes (that they can keep in school) – wellies or old trainers with a change of socks. This will help ensure they are comfortable during clan time and prolong the life of our carpets.
Planting – Wednesday 16th March
Miss Christie has organised a Super Spud planting session through RHET on Wednesday. All clans will take part in this, please ensure your child has outdoor shoes to change into, a warm jacket and it might be advisable to wear comfy bottoms – like what they wear on P.E days.

If you are sharing your photos on Twitter, please don’t put your child’s name on the tweet. It is okay to add the clan name. This will help keep everyone safe.
Tempest Photos: Clans: 24th March
On 24th March Tempest will take official group photos of our clans for you to purchase. Please ensure your child is wearing school uniform on that day and not P.E kit. They take their shoes off for the photo, so their socks will be on display.
Have a lovely week!
Kind regards,
Miss Burton
Talking to children and young people about war and conflict
We are aware that some families have asked for advice on how to speak to their children about war and conflict. You might find these documents useful:
Seesaw in Primary 1 – 3
A remember to our Primary 1-3 families, our champions are using Seesaw to profile your child’s learning journey, therefore you will be able to view more information about what your child is learning through the app.
We would encourage you to like to the post, so the champion can see you have read it and feel free to leave a comment.
The video below shares some advice on how you can use Seesaw at home.
After School Sports Clubs
Now that COVID-19 guidance for schools has changed, we are excited that after school sport clubs run by Active Schools and Local Clubs will commence on week beginning 21st February and run for 6 weeks.
The clubs were allocated on a first come first saved basis. If your child has received/not received a place in an after school club they will receive a letter today (9.2.22) with further information.
P1-3 children can wear their P.E. kit to school and P4-6 children should bring their P.E. kit to change into.
Parents should collect their child at 4:05pm outside the main school entrance & office. If possible, they should also wear a mask.
