This week we are celebrating the amazing achievements of our Junior Award Scheme for Schools winners.

Now you may notice a couple of mistakes and I apologise but I just got so excited and so joyful – that I lost my concentration a bit.

MOST importantly- I need to add P7 STAR OF THE WEEK Winona for her amazing focus in drama – her tone, expression and body language were superlative!

This was a wonderful assembly to make and it is evidence of the amazing talenst and skills of our young people, their families and school staff.

It is also great to know we are trailblazing as the school that has everyone from Primary 1 to Primary 7 working on the JASS awards! Go Royal Mile!

What is also really, really impressive is that these awards were achieved during a year of unprecedented challenges. So I think they are even more astonishing and the winners should feel even more proud of their achievements! https://youtu.be/Iwunjelk0YI

Look out for a mini House Card Assembly and the winners of teh House Cup for May – coming soon. This will be the penultimate house cup announcement – the next will be this year’s winners.

I hope you ahve been enjoying the lovely weather! Please take care of yourself, your family and friends as we count down to the end of session! Let’s enjoy these next few weeks!

The forecast is for sunshine and high temperature this week so please be Sunsmart!

PUT suncream on your child before they come to school (remember back of their neck as well)

WEAR a hat – preferably one that covers the back of the neck

WEAR short sleeves but have a long sleeved top so they can cover up

BRING a water bottle with plain water

HAVE a raincoat as well (it is Scotland)

This picture shows the type of cream we will use in case of emergency to prevent sunburn. if your child has skin sensitivity they should bring their own in a named bottle. More information is available here http://www.nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-body/sunscreen-and-sun-safety/ and on other sites.

I hope that you are all enjoying Health Week! I know the weather has been a bit miserable but that has certainly not dampened our spirits as everyone has been enjoying a whole range of activities to support our physical and mental health and wellbeing!

It has been great fun watching the Buddies in Primary 5, 6 and 7 Wake Up! Shake Up! with the nursery and younger classes. There have been some energetic daily miles, some relaxing yoga, mindful colouring and concocting of healthy smoothies! I believe the next focus is sleeping! I am pretty good at napping (so is my cat) so this could be my forte!

I hope you enjoy this week’s assembly https://youtu.be/QZ0KbMlo_08 Take care and keep healthy!
