Families Learning Together – 5PM
Glorious Golden Time
Vandalism
The police visited school this afternoon to look into some recent vandalism which has greatly upset our pupils and staff. Â Our shed in the garden area was damaged, as were plants and other equipment.
We all work very hard in school to make our learning environment interesting and engaging and this behaviour sets all of us back. Â Please ensure you reinforce the impact that this has on everyone with your children at home.
Sunny weather
The warm dry spring we’re having is a fantastic boon to getting the pupils out learning and growing in the sun. Mrs Pender has the classes out for PE today.
All skin is different so if you think it is required, please make sure that  your child has sun-cream on when they come to school and perhaps put a bottle in their bag for a top up. Please note that WLC policy means that staff can not apply sun cream to children directly but will assist pupils with self-application if required.
We have a chick!
The eggs have arrived in P1. We’re all so excited to watch them hatch and grow over the next few weeks. One egg hatched this morning so stay tuned for developments.
Glorious Golden Time
This week we started our new system of golden time. Children signed up for their choice from a selection of activities on offer from all the teachers. Â We had a great time in these smaller groups, learning and playing with friends and children from other classes on interesting activities.
SCHOOL SELF EVALUATION.Â
Every year we produce a ‘School Improvement Plan’ (SIP) with priorities we want to work on that year and we share these with you. At the end of the session we report on progress through our Standards and Quality (S&Q) report and share this with you also. One of our priorities this session was developing how we communicate pupil learning progress with home. We have developed this through three new initiatives:
- Nursery-P1 Online Learning Journals,
- P2-P7 Thinking Back-Looking Forward Profiles (sent out before parent appointments)
- Families Learning Together Sessions throughout the session. (P2-P7 for the first three terms with P1 joining in after Easter.
In order to evaluate this we need your feedback and so have created a short Survey Monkey Questionnaire on these three new initiatives.  Every entry with a name will be entered into a prize draw to win a £20 Morrisons Voucher. We really need your input.  Click the link below to access the questionnaire.
May Newsletter
The May Newsletter is now available on the blog by choosing “Monthly Newsletters” from the menu above or by clicking here. This has also been emailed.  If you have requested a paper copy, this will be in your child’s bag on Friday.
