First Assembly of 2018

After a busy first full week back at school, we had a change to our usual Monday morning routine as this is now when we will have our assembly. We feel this is a lovely way to come together after a weekend and it helps us to focus on our targets for the week ahead.

This week’s it started with the introduction of a very special visitor- Marley! Marley is Depute Head Teacher Deborah’s dog. Marley walked around the assembly room and met all of our pupils.

After saying hello, we talked about what different needs Marley might have, which included going on walks, water, treats and going to the vets. Marley will be our Rights Respecting Dog at New Struan School.  Going forward we also be looking at a Right of the Week from the United Nation Rights of the Child. This week our Right focus is:

‘You have the right to the best health care possible, safe water to drink, nutritious food, a clean and safe environment, and information to help you stay well.’

We will continue to talk about this right in classes this week and what it means to us.

Lucy then introduced to us a new feature for assembly, which is the News. In each assembly, our featured class will talk about the Right of the Week which they have been discussing, along with how they have seen this in action within the school.

Jack then sang ‘Viva la Vida’ by Coldplay which everyone really enjoyed. Danny also showed us his Thunderbirds toy, where the yellow Thunderbird 4 sat inside in the green Thunderbird 2. He walked with it around the room to show us. 

Two new features also introduced in our assembly were our Focus of the Week and Sign of the Week. For our first assembly we have chosen Listening as a focus for both.

Our star awards also have a new look, and we had three to give out!

  • Class of the Week- Birch class, who made a wonderful friendship tree!
  • Fine Diners – April, Claire and Rebecca, who have been practising their new skill of cutlery grip.
  • Rights Respecting Award- Danny for his first week with us!
