Dear Parents and Carers
I hope you had a good, if somewhat wet, weekend. Whilst we went ahead with our playground tidy yesterday I did get the feeling that many, who might normally have helped, thought it had been cancelled. We had a select group of 5 staff, one parent and two P7 learners! As the rain poured perseverance certainly prevailed. We are hoping to have our Outdoor Library space ready to ‘open’ during Book Week (week of Nov 13th)
Digital Safety
I am aware that our Parent Council are currently carrying out a survey with parents and carers regarding the use of smart phones. It is definitely a case of varying points of view and ultimately parent / carer choice. However we have had requests for guidance on ensuring safe use and hope that, in the meantime, the following links from our Digital team at CEC will be useful.

Digital Safety – Edinburgh Learns Digital
We are looking to add a digital tab to our school website where further info can be posted.
Halloween Disco
Everyone appeared to thoroughly enjoy themselves on Friday morning dancing to some great song requests. The assortment of costumes was fabulous. If you have not yet had a chance to do so the TPSA would be delighted for sponsorship to raise funds for school.
The week ahead
This week will see us focussing on the Learning Power : Have a Go Hamster. Please take a minute to ask your child what this means to them. Our learning powers are a fun way of teaching our learners ways to tackle their learning.
Thurs Nov 2nd : Open Day for P1 due to start in August 2024
Fri Nov 3rd : Trinity Together will see P6 sharing with us information about Action for Climate Change
Profiles
This term all our learners will have another opportunity to talk to their class teacher about their learning. This conversation forms part of the profile which will be issued at some point over the term. We have made a few alterations to the format of the profile in response to comments from parents, carers and staff. A feedback sheet will accompany your child’s profile so please do take time to let us know your views.
National Gallery opportunity
Practical art for ages 4+
Family Fridays
New at the National! Every Friday afternoon during Edinburgh term time we’ve got trails, play activities and, of course, hands-on art making with artists. All free, all welcome. Just drop in.
For more information please check out the National Galleries website
The weather for the next few days looks like it will continue to be wet. Getting outdoors is so important for our learners so please do make sure they come dressed for the weather.
Thank you for your continued support,
