Ring the bells! You might recall a tweet about the Christmas wish of a Hub pupil; for jingle bells instead of school bells! Thanks to everyone in our amazing school we all heard bells today from every classroom at break times. 🔔💜

We recently found out that our lovely Mrs Misselbrook is a finalist for Teacher of the Year in the Evening News Local Heroes awards. The virtual awards ceremony is next Friday and we wish Mrs Misselbrook and all of the finalists, in all categories, the best of luck!
Huge THANK YOU to Lucas Ice Cream for allowing me to borrow their ice cream truck to drop off treats to my students! It was so great seeing all the amazing students in Inchkeith (while socially distancing of course!) x Shannon
This pupil from Inchkeith just got her GoTalk today and is already using this piece of inclusive technology like a pro!! So proud of her accomplishments
We switched the school bell off today so that together, our Hub and mainstream pupils could fill our school with the magical sound of their Christmas bells! Some pupils chose to play while others wanted to enjoy walking through the beautiful sound!

For some children, returning to school after a holiday can be stressful. To help with this, we invite parents/carers with any children who have an additional support need or who may just be feeling anxious, to visit the school building between 3pm and 4pm on Tuesday 13th Aug 👍

Today we closed our school and it broke our hearts. Like everyone our staff are worried and scared and have families to care for but all week we have watched them arrive early and stay late to ensure we are as prepared as we can be to continue learning for our children, but ...

We don’t want today to be the last day of their school year so please help get us back sooner! Stay inside. Don’t let your children out to play with their friends, don’t arrange play dates. If you want your children back in school then stay in your homes and gardens.
A privilege to host the open day and rebranding of East Lothian SEN Playschemes who are now called Can Do! Well done to all the wonderful staff, children and volunteers who created the magic. Great to see so many families, agencies and friends celebrating this new chapter! 👏🏼❤️😊
So today, this legend left the Sanderson's Wynd building for some retirement fun! Izzy, we will miss you so much. Thank you for loving us, nurturing us and for supporting us. Lots of love from the Sanderson's Wynd staff, pupils and families ❤❤🌈
Our final celebration assembly today saw two staff receive awards from pupils for their star 💫 qualities! Well done Mrs Blair and Mrs Misselbrook. Well deserved! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Today we said goodbye to the wonderful Mrs Edgar! We can’t imagine what Sanderson’s Wynd will be like without you 😢 Thank you for caring, helping us to learn and keeping us safe! Xx
Well done to one of our Senior Early Years Practitioners, Gayle Kennie, who found out today that she has passed her BA in Early Childhood Practice degree! Well done Mrs Kennie

Mrs Blair received a phone call about P5T who had been on a trip- the feedback was that P5T are the best class they have EVER had to visit!! They were blown away with P5T's behaviour, knowledge and questions. Well done Mrs M and P5T!

P5T have been very successful with their virtual classroom! We have been spelling, writing a sandwich book report, keeping ourselves fit and have started an art project! We have also tried our first video conference which 15 pupils managed to log on to. See you tomorrow! Mrs M 😁
From hand holding to doing it myself. This Inchcolm pupil showed great resilience, confidence and problem solving skills as she found her balance. What a star! 🌟
Today we said a special thank you with best wishes for a wonderful retirement to Dougie Berwick. This kind and thoughtful man gave so much as one of our Hub bus drivers for many years. All the best from everyone at Sanderson’s Wynd!
