A great day in the Tayview hub.... finished off with a socially distant dance for me and Mrs Lowden to give you all a laugh! ๐คฃ missing you all! ๐
Today I had my scar on display from a recent op on my leg.A child asked me what happened.I told her it was to take out something that could make me ill.I told her I didnโt like the look of it-she said โdonโt worry, no-one will make fun of you hereโ ๐

Such a relief to welcome back Aoife today(and her mummy!). The outpouring of love for this wee soul from our school family after her accident has been amazing and Iโm sure has helped her recovery. Aoife-you are a superstar! ๐ซโค๏ธ

Huge thanks to our amazing staff who have worked tirelessly this week to organise home learning and keep a sense of normality for our young people despite worries about their own families. Dedicated to our school family every single one. Iโm blessed to have you all on my team ๐ฅฐ
I want my amazing staff to be able to be with their own families safely over Christmas.Please support us by not sending your child to school if they are displaying Covid symptoms.Any positive cases this week could lead to quarantine at Christmas which no-one wants! Thanks ๐๐ป ๐
This superstar has raised over ยฃ5000 for the Little Princess Trust and donated her hair to make a wig for a child with cancer.Sheโs always loved her long hair but with kindness and love in her heart, she did something to help others.Our school family is so proud of you Aoife. ๐
My mum, a very wise woman, gave me a copy of this many years ago when I started out as a HT. When itโs been a tough day or I feel weary, I go back to it and remember my vocation. Hope it perks someone else up on this cold, dark Thursday morning! ๐
A quick hello! A leaflet will be sent home on Wednesday with all the ket things that have changed in school to keep your child safe. Please look out for it ๐
Was at St Johnโs today and was so lovely to see staff handing out laptops to children with none in order to support home learning.Kindness, thoughtfulness, love.Wouldnโt expect anything else from our feeder high school.Proud to be part of the St Johnโs family ๐ฅฐ

Every class visited every teacher this morning for a storytelling session. The bell rang and music played every 15 minutes as a sign to move to the next class teacher. It was great fun and the teacher reading talent was immense!
