Dear Parents/Carers,

I hope you and your family are well and have enjoyed the return to nursery and school this term.

We are delighted to welcome new children and families to the ELCC and to Primary 1! Everyone has had a very successful start and we look forward to continuing to work in partnership with you throughout your child's time at Dalreoch Campus.

Our children have worked tremendously hard to get back into the routine of nursery and school and are enjoying spending time in their refreshed learning spaces. We thank you for your support in ensuring children are in full school uniform and for supporting us in promoting healthy eating by providing healthy options for playtime and in lunch boxes.

The focus this term has been around Health and Wellbeing and Community. This has included further developing friendships and positive relationships; exploring the Rights of The Child by setting up Class Charters and exploring our school vision and values - Dalreoch DREAMS through weekly assemblies.

We are continuing to focus on embedding our 4 Campus Consistencies to help ensure our school is respectful, calm and safe.

Wonderful Walking

Tremendous Transitions

Legendary Lines

Mindful Manners

All staff are supporting the development of these consistencies by using key language and visual pictures to ensure all children are included.

As part of our commitment to streamlining and developing our approaches to communication we will use Parent Pay and Parent Portal to share and gather information with you.

In the next few weeks we will use Parent Portal to seek permission for class/school trips and for you to book parents' night appointments. I would encourage you to please get in touch with the school office if you need any assistance in setting either of these accounts up so that you are not delayed.

As always, please do not hesitate to get in touch if we can support you, your child or family with learning, wellbeing or to help you access wider support.

Best wishes,

Mr Martin

Depute Head Teacher

In the ELCC we have been working really hard on developing our independence and self help skills. We are able to choose what we want for snack and lunch and make choice of which healthy food we want to try.
We have also introduced paying for our snack, using 1p and 2p coins to support our mathematical skills and number recognition and introduction to money.

We are continuing to use the Emotion Works as a progressive programme to help our learners explore their feelings and emotions. Each learning space has an Emotion Works wall where children can refer to the cogs to help them communicate their feelings. We have attached a guide for parents / carers.

Across our school we use CIRCLE (Child Inclusion Research into Curriculum Learning Education) to review and assess our learning environment (both physical and social) and approaches to learning and teaching. Each learning space has a CIRCLE noticeboard that has targets set by the teacher and children that are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

We use CIRCLE to ensure targets for wellbeing and learning are meaningful and relevant to each child and have attached a leaflet for your information. Mrs Scott is our 'CIRCLE Champion' who would be delighted to tell you more about CIRCLE or to answer any questions you may have.

Our Campus values are underpinned by the Six Principles of Nurture. All staff at Dalreoch value the opportunity to develop strong, positive relationships with all children. We strive to ensure that our interactions, learning experiences and spaces are tailored to children’s needs and interests.

Our 5 Family Group Ambassadors are positive role models across our Campus, inspiring the children in their “family group” to demonstrate our Campus Consistencies to gain Dojo points. Each week our Ambassadors share which “family” have collected the most Dojo points and reward them with an early playtime on a Monday!🩵💚💛❤️💜
