Until next time…

Part of our improvement plan for this session was digital learning, so we used digital learning week to showcase our new skills and equipment. Today we had an assembly to celebrate our achievements!
Thank you to Shona from Sky who came along and shared her digital journey with us, reminding us that their are lots of careers for girls and boys in computing.
Thank you to our Digital Directors for presenting at assembly.

As you are aware Thursday 23rd May is the European Parliamentary election. Our school dinner hall is a voting station but our school and nursery will be open as normal.
Children attending Breakfast Club should enter through the main office and go into the gym hall.
School lunches that day will be green tray only (packed lunch) or children can bring their own packed lunch to school.
As we are lucky to currently have such beautiful weather can we please offer you a few gentle reminders about sun cream:
Long may the sunshine continue!
We will also have our nearly new uniform stall.
Each session West Lothian issue a parent ethos survey for families to complete about your child’s school. The findings of this questionnaire, along with our school evaluations, help us to plan future improvements.
We would value if you could take ten minutes to complete the survey using the link below.

As part of National Digital Learning Week staff offered some lunchtime clubs.
P1-3 had the option to attend an apps club. They had a tinker with the different apps we have available and a play with the green screen.
P4-7 could attend a Glow workshop. They decided they would have a play with forms and make an online quiz, or Sway and make a presentation about something they were interested in. Both groups tinkered with the software and supported each other with using the different features.
