Teacher Twitter Accounts

Our staff team have been getting individual twitter accounts set up to have another channel of communication with the children and families throughout the school closure.

You will find anything they think useful from videos to tips and extra info on the home learning.

While you can ask general questions about the home learning on these channels anything personal to your families or complex and specific should still be sent to the school admin email inbox as usual to be dealt with in more than 280 characters.

Also please note that while management have added an account for them this is very much a broadcast channel and way to support the teacher channels. It is not for parent enquiries. If it is of a nature that involves talking to management it is still best done via email.

Please be aware this is new tech for some of our teachers who may not even have sent a first tweet.

P1 and P1/2 Scottish Country Dance

As part of our Scotland topic we have been learning some of the key skills involved in Scottish country dancing. We can all now dance  a simple reel together and have really enjoyed listening to Scottish music during these sessions. We have loved teaming up with Blythe boys and girls from P1. Miss Low is a fantastic caller and coach!
