Snack – Just 1 healthy item Please!!

At the moment, pupils are eating their snack after play time in the classroom. In previous years, pupils would eat their snack outside during morning break-time. This keeps our classrooms tidy. Break-time lasts 15 minutes and we want most of this time to be playing, rather than eating.

To help your child prepare for this return, please can you make sure your child has one item for snack that they would be able to carry outside with them. This should ideally be one an item of fruit and something they can eat quickly. Thank you! 😊

Information for Families

Scottish Child Payment is a new benefit being introduced by the Scottish Government to tackle child poverty. It is for low income families already in receipt of qualifying benefits. To start with, Scottish Child Payment will be available to families with children under six years of age only. We remain committed to rolling out this benefit to families with children under 16 years of age by the end of 2022.

Scottish Child Payment will open for applications in November 2020, with first payments being made from the end of February 2021. Low-income families with a child under six will be able to apply for £10 per child, per week – equivalent to £520 per year. There are no limits on the number of eligible children supported by Scottish Child Payment.

Social Security Scotland recognises that people communicate and engage in lots of different ways.

If you have any questions, please contact us as soon as possible, by emailing the team at NationalEngagementandPartnershipTeam@socialsecurity.gov.scot

New rules

The Scottish Government have issued new rules to keep us safe and to prevent the spread of COVID-19. New rules can be confusing for us all.

Here is a visual representation of some of the new rules. They will help us all to understand them a bit better.

We will continue to check and follow local government advice.

Remember to clean your hands often and stay physically distanced from people who are not in your household.

Primary 4 are keeping busy!

MIss Finlayson and Miss Stock have been very busy in P4.

This week Primary 4 have been learning about the human body in science.

Louie said: “This week we learnt about bones, such as the human body… 206 bones. The smallest bones in your body are the hammer, anvil and stirrup, which are in your ear. Your pelvis makes your legs attach to your body.”

We have also started our topic, looking at the history of our school and the area around it. Abby writes: “What was here before? It was a volcano then after fields and then there was a church. We had fun, I loved it.”

We have also been learning to tell the time to o’ clock, half past and quarter to and quarter past. Children can access EducationCity and try a First Level activity called Quarter Master!
