Dear Parents and Carers Montpelier, Edinburgh, EH10 4NA, 0131 229 1821 www.bruntsfield.edin.sch.uk Dear Parents and Carers, Welcome back everyone, I hope you have enjoyed the summer break and I look forward, very much, to working with you this session. I would like to welcome our new families to Bruntsfield and hope you have settled into our community. Our reorganised classes are looking very good and the new P1 pupils have settled well into Bruntsfield. Well done P1! I welcome Miss Kirsten Homes, our new Support for Learning Teacher, Miss Leanne Holburn P2B Teacher, Miss Emma Morren P3A and Mr Patrick Buglass P5C our two probationers for this session. Everyone has made our new staff very welcome and I am sure you will meet them throughout the year. We say goodbye and thank you to our pupil support assistants Mrs Denise Shaw and Ms Dawn Smith who have moved on to pastures new and Mrs Oatman, who is returning to teaching at High School and wish Mr John Thomson best of luck as he starts training to be a class teacher. The positions are advertised and I shall keep you informed of who will join our team in due course. I hope you found our Standards, Quality and Improvement Summery for Parents helpful.

We have an exciting and busy year for school improvement and we shall update you, in our Newsletters, of our progress throughout the year. Parent Consultation Meetings are planned for Tuesday 29 September and Thursday 01 October.

A lovely way to end the first week of term. If anyone would like to be involved in helping with any of the Parent Council events, please do. We really appreciate all the help you can give.

Community Teams Session 2015-16 After last session’s success, our exciting, whole school initiative returns and will launch next Friday 18 of September. Each pupil is part of a P1-P7 mixed age group Community Team led by a class teacher. The meetings take place in classrooms one Friday per month. This year, our whole school focus for Community Teams is: Learning for Sustainability. Learning through Community Teams will develop all pupils’ understanding of sustainability and enable them to become active, global citizens who endeavour to create a better, sustainable fu- ture for our planet and its people. Teams will be exploring interesting and relevant themes including: Human Rights, Political Literacy, Peace and Conflict, Growing Food, Diversity and Eradicating Poverty amongst others. Further information about the benefits and relevance of Learning for Sustainability can be found via the following link: http://www.educationscotland.gov.uk/learningandteaching/learningacrossthecurriculum/ themesacrosslearning/sustainability/about.asp This year in our Community Teams we are working with Virgin Money as part of the make £5 grow project. Virgin Money operates the Make £5 Grow programme in over 200 Primary Schools around the UK. The idea is to give school children a real life experience of starting a mini business. It's great fun, they learn lots, and it helps them build skills for the future. What's more it gets them thinking like entrepreneurs. Linking to their identified theme each Community Team will use imagination and creativity to make their money grow. Details of business ideas and enterprises will be shared as they develop. Further information is available via the following link: http://uk.virginmoney.com/virgin/make5grow/whats-it-all-about/ If you are able to offer support or share your skills with a Community Team, please contact Mr Stitt or Mrs Borrowman, via the school office. European Day of Languages – 25th September On the 25th September a range of events are organised across Europe: activities for and with children, television and radio programmes, language classes and conferences. Throughout Europe, 800 million Europeans are encouraged to learn more languages, at any age, in and out of school. To celebrate European Day of Languages at Bruntsfield Primary School there will be a number of events organised both in classes and as a whole school. Children are encouraged to donate £1 to dress in the national costume of their chosen European country OR in the colours of their country’s flag. All money raised will be donated to help those people desperately seeking help in Syria and in refugee camps in surrounding countries. We shall donate through the charity ‘Mercy Corps’. P2B visited Craiglockhart woods on the morning of Tuesday 8th September accompanied by our friends Laura and Sarah, outdoor instructors from Earth Calling (an outdoor education provider). The class enjoyed learning about important aspects of environmental and wildlife education and are very much looking forward to a future visit to the woods in a different season. Many thanks to our parent volunteers who also came along and made the trip a success. This is a sample of what some children said about our visit: “It was crazy fun!” – Christina “I loved learning about the devil’s coach horse beetle and finding one.” – Hamish “I enjoyed making a bug hotel.” – Emma “It was the best trip ever!” – Ishbel One day I was washing up in the kitchen on a sunny day. My name is Ally and when I was washing up I had forgotten to put on gloves. The problem with that is it changed me. I was 1.4metres with white skin, orange hair and loads of freckles. Now I am 4cm tall and look different, a sort of way I wouldn’t hope to look like. When I was doing the boring washing up I had the window open. The unfortunate thing is a big, wet raindrop landed on me and knocked me into the unforgiving plughole. “It absolutely stinks.” Luckily for me I landed on a ledge. When I see my destroyed pencil I thought to myself , “ I could use my battered pencil as a body board as I had before on holiday.” It took time and effort but I managed to move it to the side so I could jump and leap onto the pencil.

The Act makes provision for the designation of conservation areas as distinct from individual buildings, and planning authorities are required to determine which parts of their areas merit conservation area status. There are currently 39 conservation areas in Edinburgh, including city centre areas, Victorian suburbs and former villages. Each conservation area has its own unique character and appearance. Character Appraisals The protection of an area does not end with conservation area designation; rather designation demonstrates a commitment to positive action for the safeguarding and enhancement of character and appearance.

  • Summary of May 2005 User Survey on the Roseburn Urban Wildlife Corridor
    Summary of May 2005 User Survey on the Roseburn Urban Wildlife Corridor Following on from the user survey conducted by FRUWCA and Blackhall Community Association in December 2004, which yielded much interesting and useful data, a further seasonal update was conducted in May 2005 to measure the increased use of the corridor outwith the winter months. Users Surveys completed Thurs 12th May 2005 8am – 5.30 pm 1031 360 Sat 14th May 2005 8am – 5.30 pm 1137 333 Totals 2168 693 (N.B. The usage figures for a 24 hour period will be higher still, as it was not possible to record usage before 8 am and after 5.30 pm.) Only 11% of those surveyed in May said they had also completed the December survey, so this survey represents a new body of opinion, but gives remarkably consistent results, with a clear message - the proposal to run the tram along the Roseburn Corridor is deeply unpopular with the general population. • Frequency of use: The survey showed that the great majority (79%) are regular users, with 51% answering “most days” and 28% answering “1-2/week”. • Purpose: There is almost a 50:50 split between people using the corridor to go to/from work (33%) or shopping (15%) and recreational users. Several were multiple purpose users (e.g. walking dog + shopping) • Almost everyone (96%) said that trees/wildlife/tranquility are important aspects of the cyclepath/walkway to them, with an even higher percentage (98.5%) rating safety/absence of traffic and location/accessibility as important aspects. • The age profile of users is very wide, with the majority falling into the 36-60 age bracket (53%), followed by 19-35s (27%) and 11% being 61+.

  • For Any Eye Problem Your First Port of Call Should Be an Optometrist. An
    For any eye problem your first port of call should be an optometrist. An optometrist is the best person to assess urgent eye problems, check for eye disorders and treat eye conditions. They have the professional training and necessary equipment to assess most eye problems and will refer you to see a specialist when necessary. All appointments are NHS funded. This service can be used for any concerns you may have with the health of your eyes including (but not limited to): Red eye(s) Something in your eye Sore eye(s) Eye infections Deterioration of eyesight Other disturbance of eyesight Cataracts Scratched eye(s) If you already have your own optometrist you should contact them in the first instance as having previous clinical records is very useful. If you do not already have an optometrist there is a list of some of those in the local area on the back of this sheet. Please contact them and they will arrange to see you. You can also choose to visit any optometrist providing NHS services for treatment. Note that when you contact the optometrist of your choice their staff will assess your symptoms and offer you an appropriate appointment. The time you will have to wait will depend on the severity and duration of your symptoms. Emergency problems will be seen quickly. If your problem is urgent and they cannot manage to see you they will find someone who can. After the appointment they may send you to a local pharmacy or request a prescription from your GP for appropriate medication or, if necessary, refer you to a hospital specialist.
