PAMELA EASTON RESILIENCE AWARD
As we live our lives there are times when things don’t turn out as we would wish and we have to learn to deal with these setbacks. Some children, like some adults, have more resilience than others. We know that children can be taught strategies that help them become more resilient. Over the course of the past two years, the children have been learning about resilience. This is particularly important given the times in which we have been living.
As a legacy upon her retirement, Mrs Easton decided to donate an annual trophy to be awarded to the child who showed the most resilience across the year.
Overall Winner -Damien Robertson
P1/2 – Noah Knox-Welsh
P2/3 – Corbyn Dick
P4 – Aaron Knox-Welsh
P5/6 – Damien Robertson

Fifth Eco Flag Awarded
Congratulations to our school Eco Committee, led by Mrs Coubrough and Mrs Cochrane, who have worked extremely hard this year to gain a fifth Eco Flag for our school! This is a huge achievement and we are very grateful to them for their hard work!
The following themes were our focus –
Litter – with a focus on face masks
Water – with a focus on pollution in oceans
Waste – with a focus on minimising waste.
All of the classes supported the Eco committee by taking part in various Eco activities throughout the year – including through lockdowns, where lots of children took part in Eco activities from their own home. A huge thanks goes to all of the pupils and parents and carers who supported the Eco Committee to achieve this award.
End of Year Awards
AWARDS
Every year at the end of term we issue awards to pupils who have achieved above and beyond the norm. This year, although we were unable to host our awards ceremony in the usual way, we were still able to allow the pupils to take part in the awards ceremony, via a Google Meet in their own classroom. We always end the year proud of our pupils but this year the children have surpassed our expectations in every way, in what has been a very difficult year. The children coped admirably with the many changes which were brought about due to Covid and they have remained positive and hardworking throughout the year during home learning and learning in school. We are proud of each and every child, whether they received an award or not.
