Group 5 had a fantastic time at Dalguise this week. Throughout all of the activities that we took part in, every member of the group showed a ‘have a go’ attitude and dared to try things that they’d never tried before. Everyone demonstrated our school values throughout the trip, particularly being enthusiastic, successful and inclusive by cheering each other on, being supportive when people were feeling a little unsure and by having lots of fun and smiling.
Dear Parent/Carer
Where has a full term gone?
Throughout the school the children have been learning about many different topics and the classrooms are looking bright and inviting. Some children have been experiencing outdoor learning this term and the children were very excited when they came back to explain what they had been doing and what they had seen. It is great that new opportunities arise which keep the children enthusiastic about their learning and give them ownership of how to take the learning experience forward. It also gives them the opportunity to explore different ways of learning; sometimes the classroom is not always the best place to enthuse children. I would like to thank the parents who helped on these trips because without helpers these outings could not go ahead. If you are a parent/carer with a few extra hours and feel you could offer help please call at the office and complete a PVG form and we could add you to our list of helpers.
We are almost at a full complement of staff and following very recent interviews we, hopefully, will have a new teacher starting soon. This will be after all West Lothian Council checks are carried out and when they can be released form their own school. This will give class teachers a regular professional dialogue opportunity through time out of class with our support for learning also back to a full balance of hours.
I hope everyone has a lovely break and I look forward to seeing all the children back on Tuesday 25th October 2016
