World Autism Awareness Day 2020

Happy World Autism Awareness Day!

This week is World Autism Awareness Week! Below is a link to a video entitled ‘What is Autism?’, which you can also find on the Scottish Autism website.

The symbol which is now more commonly associated with autism is a rainbow-coloured infinity symbol. This is to show that the autism spectrum is not linear, and that while some individuals have difficulties in some areas, they are (sometimes exceptionally) talented in others.

We usually celebrate this as a school, but due to the current circumstances, it is a little more difficult. To mark it, I’ve made my own version of the symbol for the autism spectrum, which is now stuck on my living-room window!

If you happen to be celebrating World Autism Awareness Day in any way (e.g. dressing in rainbow colours, posting signs in windows, sharing links/videos), please let us know! You can share with us on Twitter, as part of your child’s learning wall or using Microsoft Teams.

‘Autism is my superpower.’ (a fantastic quote I saw on someone’s t-shirt a few years ago).

Many thanks!

Primary 4 Art

Primary 4 have been using line, shape and colour to create abstract art.  In our most recent pieces of work, the children had to draw a vase of flowers and draw lines through it.  They then used hot colours for the vase and cold colours for the background.  Here are the finished pieces of work.  I have also included some artwork created at home for display in the classroom.

P4-7 Glow Teams Responsible Use

It is great to see so many children logging into their glow team and accessing learning today.
Please remind your child – the team is for learning and is not for general ‘chit chat’, for example ‘Hi’ or ‘What are you doing?’ The current level of ‘chit chat’ from some children is meaning it is difficult for children to find their tasks and for teachers to see what has been completed.
Each team has a chat channel, which is a more informal way that children can communicate to each other.
The children decided the following ways to use their Team responsibly:
Thanks for your support with this.
