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!

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!
