Spring Fever

The kids told me today they witnessed a baby lamb being born on the way into school this morning. What a fantastic way to start the day don’t you think? I for one wish I could begin each day with that kind of excitement, for excitement is what it must be to a child. The three of my children were bursting to tell me that when they got home.

If Aberdeen City Council have their way it’s all going to change. Gone will be the green fields and country feel of the school setting as we will be shuffled off to a site up at Newhills. We continue to campaign to save the school in it’s current state so that future generations can be given the best possible rounded education available in Aberdeen and not pushed into larger classes in the middle of a housing scheme to make ACC’s figures add up.

I’m pleased to report mother and baby are doing well!

Our school has been placed in the firing line yet again with the announcement that PSA hours are to be cut. Another cut that will affect those who rely on it most. The information I received the other day verbally was something like 50% of our PSA hours will be lost. This will result in more work for teachers who will have to make up for the cut. That of course means that they will be teaching less!

There is massive condemnation of this by EVERY ACC school in Aberdeen, some of which I’ll publish here…
