Hello. It’s been a busy week – our planters are now filled with soil and classes are starting off seeds on the windowsills for a colourful welcome next session.

Our Vice House Captains had the lovely job of thanking the Dumbiedykes Residents’ Association for a kind donation as they closed their accounts for the last time. We are going to put it towarsd our ‘greening’ project.

Sadly our House Captains have had a less pleasant job checking the upper school loos after a spate of vandalism and careless behaviour led to inconvenience and a repair bill. Please can we all work together to look after our school and each other.

We found out that Mrs Henry will be joining Royal Mile as Head Teacher next session And we had yummy fruit for snack on Friday thanks to the Parent Council. We have the same again this Friday too!

So here it is – Assembly! https://youtu.be/boSTGroUuYw

Take care, Mrs Jessop!

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and the theme is Nature.

You may have noticed that our Parent Council have been busy weeding and tidying our planters at the back of the school. Mr Jessop and Mr Mouat, the Janitor, have also started work on our new planters ready for every class to plant out seeds for next session. In addition Mrs Dimeck has been doing outdoor learning with classes across the school, classes have been outside for PE and fitness, bikeability and fun! Last week Primary 2 were the proud winners of a play session with our new blocks – who will it be this week?

Our Equalities Group are challenging each class to design and build their own Worry Monster. There are lots of boxes and cardboard outside my office for this purpose. I am looking forward to seeing the results. These will be checked regularly and we will offer every support we can.

I hope you enjoy this week’s assembly https://youtu.be/4Nr4mxcV_yo

I’d also like to wish Eid Mubarak to all our families celebrating this week. Take care!

I hope you like this week’s assembly. You might notice my friend here, the Edinburgh Bear. He is a friendly chap. We’ll be sending out more information about the move from nursery to school and our Primary 5 buddies will be busy too!

Please remember that children should come to school with a jacket, as the last few days have shown – here in Scotland we certainly get all four seasons in one day! Take care, Mrs Jessop https://youtu.be/If1-Ncts3e4

A reminder that the School is closed to all pupils on MONDAY 3rd MAY for the Bank Holiday and on TUESDAY 4th MAY for a staff In Service Day.

The school is not being used as a polling station and so ALL pupils and staff will be at school as normal on Thursday the 6th MAY.

Here is this week’s assembly – hope you enjoy it! https://youtu.be/XLcpZ9RY9fo
