Dear Parent/Carer,
Welcome to Term 1 of Primary 1. I hope you all had a relaxing summer break. In school we are looking forward to a busy and exciting term. Over the first few weeks we have been working hard to establish a positive and effective classroom ethos. This has included getting to know each other, and creating our own Community Contract, which helps pupils, staff and visitors to understand how the school values and children’s rights are respected within our classroom.

Dear Parent/Carer,
Welcome to Term 1 in Primary 4. All of the children have settled well into P4 and we are looking forward to a busy and fun term. So far, the children have participated in a community building fortnight where we have been getting to know each other, creating our community contract and becoming familiar with our new class routines. We also had a mini focus on our school aim of developing our skills and celebrating achievements. We have begun our new IDL context for learning, Dinosaurs, and are looking forward to our class trip to the National Museum of Scotland.

I commend all the primary schools receiving their digital schools award on their great achievement.”
