Today, we spoke a lot about the benefits of our Nurture afternoon yesterday, when we spent time with members of our family and our staff watching a film. We discussed how us, our families and our school form a triangle and we’re always thinking of ways to help strengthen the bonds between all three parts of the triangle. We decided that the stronger these links are, the more successful learners we will become. Here are some quotes about what people in our class thought about yesterday:
“It really brought the school together and made everyone friendlier”
Macauley
“It brought our school community together”
Tiegan
“We learned about friendship”
Oliwier
“It gave us time to bond with our families”
Katie
“It showed us how similar we all are”
Coni
“It lets our families bond with our school and the staff”
Calvin
“It gave us time to relax and have fun with our families and our teachers”

P7 visited The Risk Factory in Edinburgh today. It was really good fun and we learned loads about how to stay safe in lots of different situations.
Here are some quotes:
“Words can’t describe how fun it was”
Macauley
“The best trip I’ve ever been on”
Jo
“It’s definitely worth waiting for”
Coni
“It was excellent”
Michael
We can’t wait for the P6’s to experience all the fun next year!

A really interesting discussion with PC Chris and PC Carol Ann today.
A massive thank you to them for coming in and having a safety chat with us.
Key messages were:
Stay safe with fireworks.
Under 18 year olds are not permitted to have fireworks.
Keep your distance (at least 25 m) from fireworks and bonfires.
Do not return to or go near fireworks which have been lit.
Fireworks are loud and can frighten people. Make sure pets and young children are kept inside during home displays and be mindful of neighbours.
Make sure your blue bins are out of harm’s way.
A great Orienteering session with p5/6 this morning.
Excellent teamwork!
We are looking forward to Health week next week.
Everyone should have received a letter all about it but for those who haven’t or as a reminder click the link above to see it.
Pupils can come to school dressed in sports wear next week if they wish. Shorts and t-shirts will be needed every day. Some activities will take place outside, weather permitting.
School closes today (14th October) at 12.30 and pupils return on Tuesday 25th October at 8.55am.
Wishing everyone a safe, happy and relaxing holiday!

Mrs Brennan and the Staff of Our Lady of Lourdes
