Value of the Month- Friendship- December

As part of our Religious and Moral Education values programme we are wishing to engage parents in discussing this value at home with your children and family to deepen their understanding of the importance of the value and what it can mean to us as individuals.

We are sharing some starter questions and prompts for families to help with this discussion.

Please find below some examples of discussion questions for you to use at home, these are not exhaustive nor do they need to be discussed in order and please feel free to add others of your own.

If you wish you can record this in your child’s homework jotter  through notes or drawing or  if a parent could write ‘ Ask me about our family discussion on Excellence ‘ in your child’s HW  jotter. Some stages have included this in their home learning grids and recording that this has happened can be indicated on the sheet and on the back of the sheet.

DECEMBER- Our value of the month is FRIENDSHIP.

What do you think makes someone a good friend? Why?

Who are your friends?

Who do you think is a good friend?

What is it about that person that makes him/her a good friend?

What do you like to do with your friends?

How do you feel when you are with your friends?

Draw a picture of your friends and or things you like to do with your friends?

Thank you

Spring Fayre 2015

We held another very successful Spring Fayre on Saturday 9th May which was well attended and had something for everyone. The fantastic sum of £2436 was raised! Many thanks to the members of the PSA and their supporters for ensuring the success of this venture. Much time has been spent planning and organising  this event and I’m sure that everyone would agree that it has been time and energy well spent.

Validated self-evaluation (VSE)

We will be engaging in a process of validated self-evaluation (VSE) during the next two weeks, as part of our commitment to continuous school improvement. This process will involve a team of two head teachers and an education officer from West Lothian Council who will work with us to observe learning and teaching, engage in discussion with groups of staff, pupils, parents and partners and consider the varied evidence produced across the school. The purpose of this approach is to support, extend and challenge our own self-evaluation and to work with us to refine our points for action and further improve the quality of our provision and outcomes for learners. We welcome the opportunity to work in partnership with the external team, to hear the views of the various focus groups and to engage meaningfully in a process which will give us added insight into whole school effectiveness.
