As part of our ongoing efforts to improve communication and keep up with changing digital tools, we are moving away from using a central blog to share class updates. While the blog has served us well in the past, it’s no longer the most efficient or engaging way to share information with families. Instead, each class will now have its own SWAY—a dynamic, easy-to-navigate digital newsletter that allows us to share photos, news, and learning highlights in a more visually appealing and accessible format. This change will help ensure that updates are more relevant, timely, and tailored to each class, making it easier for you to stay connected with your child’s learning journey.

 

We are all so excited that today is the launch of our new skills hubs.  These hubs have been in development since August as part of our School Improvement Plan and have been consulted widely on.

A huge well done and thank you to Miss Mannion and our Rights Respecting School Hub pupils, who today secured our Silver – Rights Aware award status.  This is a fantastic achievement and we are all very proud.

Achieving this level means:

• We explicitly embed the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in our policy, practice and culture.
• We promote knowledge and understanding of the Convention throughout our school community.
• We are seeing the positive impact of our actions on children and young people, staff, and on the school’s ethos, practice and environment.
• Our children see themselves as rights respecting global citizens and advocates for fairness and children’s rights, both locally and globally.

We are absolutely delighted to be amongst some of the first schools in Scotland to achieve endorsement of our continuing excellence and development in digital learning and teaching!

Our P7 Pupil Leadership Group are being selected next week.  Their first job will be to organise a coffee morning to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Research.  We are opening this event to our local community!

P7 are having a smashing time at Lockerbie Manor, in spite of the weather.  Lots of fun and adventures.  Mrs Stewart and Mrs Donnelly are off to visit them today and will share another update tomorrow.
