We are all back to school and nursery refreshed after our Easter holiday.
We started off the week with an exciting addition to our school playground. One of our parents has kindly donated a lantern from the Edinburgh Zoo Chinese Lantern Festival which took place over the winter. We are now the proud owner of an amazing piece of art work made out of pure silk. The lantern takes the form of a flower and is brightening up our back playground whilst providing a stilumus for play. Please take a look if your are passing. Thank you so much to Mrs Biggar and her helpers for getting the lantern to Springfield. We are very grateful.
We held a further ‘wellbeing’assembly yesterday where we looked at what it means to be respected. We learned that to get respect from others then you need to give it. We understand the importance of being respectful at home, in school and around our community. We also learned how adults show respect for children around school. Did you know that both Springfield and Bonnytoun are UNICEF, Rights, Respecting Schools? We take children’s rights seriously and work hard to uphold these at all times.
We are currently undertaking some Health and Wellbeing self-evaluation work as a staff in both school and nursery. As part of this, you will have been emailed a link to a parental survey which we’d love you to compete if you have time please. The children in school and nursery are also completing surveys around the Wellbeing Indicators. We want to know how healthy our children feel that they are and what we can do to improve this.
We will use all findings to make improvements to what we currently do in Health and Wellbeing and across our whole curriculum.
We have had a number of children in our infant department and nursery who have celebrated a birthday over the holidays. They are pictured below wearing their birthday stickers…
Here are our latest pupil achievements…
Well done to C in P3/4 for his success in Enjoy-a-Ball and also to the Stapleton siblings for their hard work in swimming!
Please see the end of this post for photographs.
Have a lovely weekend in the slightly, milder weather folks!
Love,
Miss Baillie xx🌷
