Outdoor Learning Programme Clovenstone Primary enjoyed making winter bird feeders as part of our outdoor learning programme where they came up with some great ideas to help achieve their John Muir Award. In conjunction with Scottish Natural Heritage, this outdoor learning program aims to develop increased appreciation of the great outdoors. Seagrove Centre Walking Programme We enjoyed our final walk of the season with the Seagrove Centre. Beautiful winter sunshine, long shadows and a view of the sea then back to the centre to cosy up with mince pies and entertaining stories from Ron Fairweather. What a lovely day and the weather was just perfect, everyone had a great time enjoying each other's company whilst getting outdoors to enjoy the crisp winter air and the stories were excellent. The manager of the Seagrove Centre said: “We are really keen and enjoy the outdoors so much. Our members mood and well being improves so much when they have been outdoors.” Out & About in Dumbiedykes The Dumbiedykes Out & About healthy lifestyle project kicked off the new year with a wonderful day jam packed full of activities for local families at the Braidwood Centre. Joined by the Dynamic Earth team participants could plant seeds and then try out what they would be taking home to grow in a lovely bruschetta. There was a huge variety of fun activities for the children to try, such as drumming on bins, hula hooping, face painting, balloons, cycling and a chance to do a range of fun activities with the Scottish Parliament outreach team, NHS Scotland, Edinburgh Film Festival, One Parent Family Scotland and Scottish Forestry. It was such a lovely sunny day and we had over 60 people come along to join in the fun. Participants told us it was 'Totally fab' and "..a really fun day out that the kids really enjoyed.' A massive thank you to all of the organisations who came together to provide such fun activities for the community! South Edinburgh Activities The Out & About family group joined in the Scottish celebrations this afternoon as we shared a delicious burns supper. For a few, it was their first try of the Scottish delicacy that is... Haggis! And it went down well! Finishing it off with a wee boogie with some ceilidh dancing where we did Robert proud! It was fantastic get back into the groove with Oxgangs Walking Group this morning. We walked up to Redford Woods for a little circuit, finishing back at Costa at Tescos for refreshments. It was great to welcome a new member and to catch up with everyone after Christmas and New year. Big thanks to Stuart & his wife for the lovely diaries. What a wonderful yoga session with Naomi from Yoga Health Edinburgh at Inch House Community Centre. It feels so good to take some time to re-centre and re-charge. There's something special about connecting with your breath and allowing yourself to focus on gentle poses. It can help you to feel invigorated and refreshed, highly recommended for those looking to de-stress.

It offers an insight into the life and ethos of the school and also offers advice and assistance which you may find helpful in supporting and getting involved in your child’s education. We are committed to working closely with parents as equal partners in your child's education, in the life of your child's school and in city-wide developments in education. Parental involvement in the decision making process and in performance monitoring are an integral part of school life. We look forward to developing that partnership with your support. I am pleased to introduce this brochure for session 2018-19 and hope that it will provide you with the information you need concerning your child’s school. If you have any queries regarding the contents of the brochure please contact the Head Teacher of your child’s school in the first instance who will be happy to offer any clarification you may need. Alistair Gaw Acting Executive Director of Communities and Families Children and Families Vision Our vision is for all children and young people in Edinburgh to enjoy their childhood and fulfil their potential.
