Who can you spot in the swishy grass?
Uh oh!! Who is stuck in the thick oozy mud?
Who was the bravest?
Take some photos on your bear hunt and add them to your learning journal.

Whilst out on your walk encourage your child to count all the bears they see. They could create a simple chart of all the bears they see by drawing a line for each one.

Before your go out on your walk encourage your child to make a map of their journey. Ask them about what they might see along the way or where they might find the bear.

Using two cardboard tubes and some string help your child to create their own pair of binoculars to take on their bear hunt. These help children to focus on a small area. Whilst out on your walk encourage your child to talk about the different things they can see through their binoculars. Did you spot our binoculars in the video?

Listen to the story 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt'. Choose a bear or soft toy you are going to use for your bear hunt. Place your bear in your window for other 'bear hunters' to spot. You could ask your friends or family to put their bears in their windows too.

Dear Gilmerton families,

On Friday we opened our doors at our hub school, based within Craigour Park Primary School. A massive thank you to both the staff members who volunteered to work in the hub and to the home working teachers who kept home learning running for all children including for those teachers working in the hub. I cannot put into words how much I appreciate this team effort and approach. Please read the important information below about hub schools and food parcels.
Key workers' hub school

If you are a category 1-3 key worker you will have received an email from the authority regarding the offer of a place at a hub school.

You should not be using a hub place if there is an adult in your household who is NOT a keyworker. We do have to minimise the amount of contact people have with each other in order to contain the virus. If you send your child and you have not met the criteria on the diagram, you will be asked to take your child(ren) home.

Please do not take your child to the hub school if they require any medicine to be administered.

Young children are finding it difficult to keep to the 2 metre social distancing rule. We would ask parents of young children to think carefully about the hub provision for young children. Please reinforce social distancing with your child.

Please be completely sure that you, your child, or anyone else at home does not have any symptoms of COVID-19, or has had them during the previous 7-14 days, as per NHS advice.

Please transport your child to school obeying social distancing guidelines.

Please observe social distancing guidelines during drop off by staying well back from others.

Please bring ID with you to prove that you are a Key Worker.

Please complete the registration sheet (which will be issued when signing in) and clearly record your place of work and contact details.

Please bring the following

Your child's electronic device if they have one so they can do their remote learning activities set by teachers.

Snacks and drinks (own water bottle)

Books or small games they like to play.

It is very important that school teams manage to have a rest from the work of the past 2 weeks, wherever possible.

We would appreciate if you could copy in Admin@gilmerton.edin.sch.uk so we can stop staff coming to a hub if not required for their own safety and their families' safety. #StayHomeSaveLives

The authority are working to extend the hub school hours from 8am to 6pm from Monday 6 April, the beginning of the school holidays. This will largely depend on availability of staff from community and learning and development teams across the city.

We will continue to update you on progress and arrangements for hubs schools. Please do not ask for more details at this time. We do not have them.

We had very few resources on our first day of opening but we have now "raided" our own school and will be setting up activities in the classrooms and grounds.

Your child will be in a small group with approximately 5 others.

Lunch will be provided in the hub.

Please ensure appropriate clothing and footwear for PE and outdoor play.

During collection, please adhere to 2m social distancing and wait until your child is brought to meet you outside by the Group Leader for your school.

Please ensure your child washes and changes their clothes when they return home.

Please ensure that clean clothes are worn in attending Learn/Care next day.

My staff team are working under very stressful and difficult circumstances. We are being asked to staff hub schools, send home learning for your children and take part in other aspects of the emergency response such as delivering food parcels. Please be kind to the staff team. We are doing our best to manage the demands we face, to support fellow key workers and ask that your child(ren) access the hub only when it is essential.
Food parcels
Thank you to Ms Vacher who delivered food boxes on Friday to members of our school community.

If there are families in financial hardship who require help with food, please let me know in confidence at Admin@gilmerton.edin.sch.uk I can access help from the children and families team. Moving forward, we hope that food parcels will be delivered every 2 weeks.

Please keep safe and thank you for all of the wonderful messages for our team- this really helped! Thank you to our amazing key staff who will face challenging times in our critical services. We will do everything we can to support you through childcare/schooling.

I do hope that you and your families are safe and well. Thank you to our key workers in the NHS and other services.
Please stay home, follow NHS and Government advice and keep our key workers, including your school staff on duty, safe and healthy.
Kind regards

Rebecca Annand

Head Teacher

Welcome to the web pages of Murrayburn Primary School.

Murrayburn Community Vision and Values

Within our Murrayburn Community, we recognise the importance of building positive relationships within environments that ensure our children and families are included, happy, secure, nurtured and engaged in their learning. We want our community to develop a love of learning and belief in themselves. We create opportunities to build on knowledge and skills, achieve highly, and celebrate effort as well as successes; focusing on equipping everyone with skills for life.

Respect Kindness Honesty Resilience

The School and Early Years Campus

Murrayburn Primary opened in 1939 serving a catchment area in the South West of Edinburgh. A Nursery unit opened within Murrayburn Primary School in the early 1970s and in 2014 Calderglen Nursery, operating from a second site, became part of the Murrayburn Family.

In 2016 the two Nursery units became the Murrayburn Early Years Campus operating as a separate entity. The School and Early Year Campus are both non-denominational and between them serve children from age 3-12 years.

Our sites are staffed by a dedicated and supportive team who work very hard to provide the best opportunities for all our boys and girls in a safe and happy environment.

Pupils leaving Murrayburn after Primary 7 generally move on to Forrester High School who we work closely with, to ensure positive transition for all our pupils.

Murrayburn Primary has a roll of about 375 pupils and the Early Years Sites between them accommodate about 100 pupils in both morning and afternoon sessions.
