Call for Help! Developing the Young Workforce!

We are keen for our pupils to have opportunities to learn about a variety of skills and knowledge that may help encourage and inspire them to consider different options in the future.

During the year there are opportunities for class learning to link with occupations and skills for work. We would like to build a bank of volunteers to approach during the year to come in to talk to the children.

This could be class, group chats or running a workshop, whatever you feel comfortable with. If you would like to volunteer to talk about your job or skills please fill in the form below.

This can be shared with parents, carers and members of the community.

Programming a micro:bit with help from Sky!

As part of National Digital Learning Week, today Shona and Craig from Sky joined Primary 4 and 5 to share their knowledge of programming a micro:bit.

A micro:bit is a tiny programmable computer, designed to make learning and teaching easy and fun! Some of us even managed to programme it to say our names.

A big thank you to Shona and Craig for showing us this new piece of hardware, we were impressed how we used our prior knowledge of programming in order to use the micro:bit.

They also shared with children information about their jobs at Sky and what skills and experience they need.

World Autism Awareness Day

Today we celebrated World Autism Awareness Day.

We all wore our favourite colours to show how we are all different.

Mr Ullathorne, one of our parents who works with Autism Initiatives took workshops with P2-7. They discussed autistic super powers, neurodiversity and sensory overload.

A big thank you to Mr Ullathorne for giving up his time to come and work with us.

P6 and P7 Helpers @ Parent Consultations

It has been lovely catching up with parents and carers at our parent consultations this week. There was a great buzz across the school and lots of learning conversations.

A big thank you to our Primary 6 and 7 helpers for keeping the consultations running smoothly. We really appreciate them giving up their time to help us.

The book fair will be in school until Tuesday if you still would like to purchase a  book. A percentage of profits made will enable the school to purchase new books.

One of our P7s even decided to make their own movie!
