Digital Learning Week Lunch Time Clubs
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.
Pumphie Pals Self Evaluation
We started our session by playing a community builder and some of the pre-school children from our nursery joined us, as part of their transition.
On Friday our Pumphie Pals groups used How Good is OUR Good to self evaluation our improvements journey. Each group had one of the areas to evaluate:
- Our relationships
- Our learning and teaching
- Our school and community
- Our health and wellbeing
- Our success and achievements
The groups sorted statements into agree, not sure and disagree.

Stewards and police will also be in attendance. Mrs Cougan will also be there to meet the children with the school banner.
Miss Burton been asked to lead the parade this year in recognition of  her achieving the permanent post of Head teacher. As this is a fantastic honour for our school, she would like to invite the House and Vice Captains to walk with her in leading the parade
The theme is Tropical “so everyone is encouraged to dress up as colourfully as they can.
Following the parade a fun day will take place including annual traditional races. These will commence at 1.30pm in Marrfield Park and there are many opportunities for everyone to participate.
