A huge well done to our football team, who represented the school brilliantly at last Friday’s football festival against several schools from across the authority. The team demonstrated excellent sportsmanship, teamwork and determination throughout, and we are very proud of their performance and the way they represented our school community.
Today, pupils enjoyed a fantastic Rights Day, planned with support from our Steering Group members and Rights Respecting Pupil Group. The day was packed with active, engaging learning experiences, including rights-based orienteering challenges, rights-matching activities, a rights quiz, and creative workshops where DJ Denholm supported pupils to create and perform their own Rights Raps. It was wonderful to see so much enthusiasm, collaboration and learning taking place throughout the day. A special mention to Blake, who was seen supporting younger pupils with such care and compassion.
Our P7 pupils also enjoyed a visit to Deans Community High School, where they experienced a Building Thinking Classrooms maths lesson. This provided an excellent opportunity for pupils to develop their problem-solving skills and work collaboratively.
Looking ahead, we are excited to be taking part in Anti-Bullying Week beginning next week. Across the week, pupils will be developing their understanding of what bullying is, the impact and consequences it can have, and the importance of accountability, respect and positive relationships. We will also be revisiting and sharing our school approaches and processes for preventing and responding to bullying.
To support this work, we will be sharing daily Anti-Bullying Week information with parents and carers via Groupcall email. These updates will help raise awareness of national, local and school procedures, available supports, and the learning taking place in school throughout the week. We will begin with a launch assembly for all primary pupils on Monday.
Our ELC children will explore these important themes in an age-appropriate way through a focus on our shared values, particularly kindness, using stories, discussions, songs and play-based learning experiences.
We look forward to another week of learning, thinking and working together to ensure that Seafield Primary School is a place where everyone feels respected and included.
Have a lovely Weekend
