VOTE FOR THE BEST – VOTE FOR BLES – PLEA FOR YOUR VOTE!

Hi everyone,

We have registered BLES Training with Galaxyhotchocolate.com where if we receive enough votes could win £300.  As you know we never do things just for ourselves.  If we were successful, we were asked what we would do with the money and how it would benefit the community.

We have collectively agreed, if successful we would make a bench that would be made by our young people at BLES then donated within the community focusing on the elderly which would bring together the different generations.

Through email, facebook and twitter we are asking you to share the link below with as many of your friends, family and work colleagues and ask them to vote for BLES Training

Thank you in advance as always, your support is really appreciated

Kind regards

BLES Training

BLES recently worked with our Primary 7 pupils on a very successful training programme, introducing them to possible jobs / skills to focus on for the future.

Growth Mindset Feedback

P2/3 created squirrel pictures using Autumn leaves from outside for their tails. We were really proud of our squirrels and so we took them to show Mrs Conaghan and P4/5.

We then took part in a feedback session about what we did really well with our squirrels and what we could try to do next time. Using their own feedback, some pupils in P4/5 then went on to try and make their own squirrel pictures also using leaves and came to show us in P2/3.

All squirrels now share our Growth Mindset feedback tree which is in Miss Robb’s P2/3 class.

Dont they look great!

Fireworks Safety Talk

A really interesting discussion with PC Chris and PC Carol Ann today.

fireworks2A 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.

We were enjoying naming ,peeling and chopping lots of healthy vegetables to pop into our soup pot today. Reece said he felt like a chef and Lucas took a photo on his device of the ingredients so he can try making this at home with an adult . David says his gran is great at making homemade soup and she makes it with ham.The pupils are going home to think of recipes they would like to try in cook school this term.
