The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service are currently dealing with a high level of deliberate fire-raising and also attacks on staff as reported on the news yesterday.
Please find attached digital flyers for children, young people and parents which highlight what the community can do to help reduce deliberate fires and who to speak to if you have concerns.

Well done to all the pupils and staff members who took part in our Easter Egg Challenge! It certainly brought a lot of cheer and we have loved seeing your hard work. Have a wonderful Easter from us all at Team Uphall Primary School.
Some parents might be wondering why some of the sounds your child is learning are written in different colours.
Consonants are presented in different colours depending on what part of the mouth they are made with.
Red – consonant sounds that are red are made with the lips, for example, “m”. Pink is used for quieter mouth sounds, like “f”.
Blue – consonant sounds that are blue are made with the tongue (blue – because of the veins on the tongue), for example, “d”. The letter “t”, for example, is light blue because it is a softer sound.
Yellow – consonant sounds that are yellow are made at the back/roof of the mouth. Imagine you have to shine a torch to see this part of the mouth. Some yellow letters are “h”, “c” and “k”.
Green – these are sounds made with the cheeks, like “j”, “sh” and “ch”.
“x” – is yellow shaded with blue as “x” is made from “k” – yellow + “s” – blue.
Click on the links to see a list of all letters in their corresponding colour and a picture of the mouth with the different colour parts and some of the different sounds.

Vowel sounds are black because they are made with the middle of the mouth (like a dark tunnel).
