Happy Friday everyone!

Transition to P1
Nursery pupils have started their transition to P1. This week they explored the P1 area and joined in learning with our current P1s. The transition focus for this term is Literacy. We will publish various phonological awareness activities to try at home which will help to build foundations for learning to read.
Parent Council
The Parent Council have an important role to play in school improvement by ensuring that parental perspective is represented and taken into account. The Parent Council helps to create an environment where all parents know their views matter, and where they feel confident and comfortable putting them forward.
We would like to encourage more parents to become involved in the wider life of our school and join our existing parent council members.
Heritage Project
On Thursday pupils from P7 went to the Northern Meeting Park to discuss ideas for interpreting the history of the Park for local people and visitors.
If you would like to share your thoughts, please complete a community heritage/interpretation feedback form.
