• Primary 1 Receive a Gift from BookTrust

  Thu 11 Mar 2021

  Many thanks to BookTrust for providing all of our girls and boys in Primary 1 with a beautiful book entitled 'The Runaway Pea'. 

   

  This book by Kjartan Poskitt and Alex Willmore is a very funny story that follows a pea on its journey to escape the dinner plate!  It is an easy book to read that will hopefully give the children lots to talk about and explore!

• Speak Out Stay Safe NSPCC Assembly

  Fri 26 Feb 2021

  We know that the pandemic is continuing to have a huge impact on children's mental health.

   

  This time last year, the NSPCC's Speak out Stay Safe Programme was being delivered in 90% of primary schools in the UK. With most children now learning at home, we want to make sure they don't miss out on the vital messages about seeking support if they are worried.

   

  The duo Ant and Dec, along with David Walliams, hosted an online assembly on Tuesday 23rd February to give vital tips on speaking out and staying safe.

   

  This assembly can now be accessed by clicking on the link below.
