This term out Building Resilience focus is Keep Connected. The key learning in this unit covers:

• Relationships are important for our health and wellbeing
• Belonging to a group can be a good way to build friendships
• Good relationships are a two-way thing

You will receive home learning in due course to complete with your child in this focus area.

Thanks

We would like to thank our fabulous PTA for organising our Halloween Discos this year. It was great to have pupil from both West Linton and Newlands here.

Along the same theme, we would like to give huge praise to our Primary 7 Ministers for competition who led an amazing Pumpkin Carving competition – there were so many fantastic entries… it made it very difficult to choose a winner!
