Our Parent Council smashed it out the park on Saturday 11th of June for the Fun Run at Clermiston.

Amongst many other things, they had organised a tombola, several fun runs for all ages and even an ice cream van! The weather was good to us too, as the rain began just as we started packing up. The House Captains did themselves proud too, pulling together a Bake Sale that dreams are made of! They were raising money to support charities that help those affected by the situation in Ukraine and are still counting the money raised, but by the smiles on their faces they did an excellent job of fundraising!

Thank you to everyone who lent a hand, we love our community to pieces!

Digital Learning at Clermiston

There was lots of excitement for the P6s and P7s this week as the Empowered Learning Team visited our school to set us up with out 1:1 iPads.

Krissie, Jane and Kyle worked their magic alongside Mrs Henderson to lead us through step by step. These devices will significantly enhance our pupils' learning experience through equity of access, encouraging innovation, evoking imagination, and nurturing a love of learning. The project will create a unique opportunity to unlock the potential of every learner across all schools and allow collaboration and innovation to flourish in our city.

As you may know, the Empowered Learning Project is part of the City of Edinburgh Council’s ambitious and inclusive education strategy, Edinburgh Learns for Life. The investment of £17.6m in our Empowered Learning project will provide a world class digital environment for all learners. 

The Empowered Learning Project has given every young person in P6 to S6 an iPad! Shared iPads will be available for use in P1 to P5 and Early Years.

All P6s and 7s have been sent more info via ParentPay but if you want to see the Home School Agreement and Responsible User agreement, you will find them here.

This is only the beginning...we cannot wait to see where it will take us!

On Hallowe'en this year, our playground was lit up with creativity and talent in the form of pumpkins! 

The pumpkins were displayed in classes and we were all able to take some time throughout the day to pop down and have a look. 

The Parent Council went out of their way to make sure that our pupils felt like part of something bigger, and our pupils (and staff!) were not put off by the disgusting weather when we paraded past the pumpkins to check them all out. 

A huge thank you to everyone involved, from the carvers, to the organisers, to the idea makers and the smile bringers!
