Civilians in Gaza desperately need core services and supplies. We need rapid, unimpeded humanitarian access. We need food, water, medicine and fuel now. We need it at scale and we need it to be sustained.

“The EIS calls on the UK government, the Scottish Government and the international community to support the immediate opening of humanitarian corridors to facilitate access to humanitarian aid which is urgently needed.” eis.org.uk/latest-news/is…

“We don’t want to punish the #Gaza people twice. First, because of the war and second, because of the lack of humanitarian aid. It is clear that a humanitarian ceasefire will make things much easier and much safer for everybody.” - António Guterres

The P2/3 group enjoyed making haunted houses on Halloween this week! Great sentence building and overall talking whilst making their 3d houses.

Brains will first ask Am I safe? then. Am I loved? Only when the answer to these is yes, will it then be ready to ask. What can I learn?🧠🌱

What we do matters!

🤩 High Quality Interactions… more than talking… much more than effective questioning… a tricky concept, but, wow, what a helpful frame here 👇🏻

Kindness counts! 🧡

100 years ago, our founder Eglantyne Jebb drafted the first Declaration of the Rights of the Child. Today, these rights are being grossly violated across the world. On #WorldChildrensDay here’s a reminder of Eglantyne’s vision 👇🧵1/3

It’s #WorldChildrensDay. Every child deserves a long and healthy life and that includes a right to: 🩺 Health 🍴 Nutritious food to eat 🌳 Safe, clean and secure environments ✏️ Education and early learning 🧸 Protection from harm #HealthForAll

Every child has the right to grow up free from violence and fear. Children need peace — wherever they are. Children must be protected — always. They are #NotATarget. Monday is #WorldChildrensDay. unicef.org/world-children… via UNICEF

This afternoon the EIS attended a lobby Scottish Parliament, with speakers including Aamer Anwar, in support of calls for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the siege of Gaza. The EIS has previously issued a statement on the escalation of violence in the region: eis.org.uk/latest-news/is…

Look at what arrived in the P2/3 group this week! A tiny intriguing door 🎅🏼🎄

The P2/3 group enjoyed learning all about Scotland on St.Andrews Day. We worked on our vocabulary and learned lots of new Scottish words and even danced to some ceilidh songs! Here we are making our flag and weaving some tartan! Very keen learners taking pride in being 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The P2/3 group were learning all about Penguins on Monday. We listened to a story about a penguin who wanted to fly and learned lots of facts about them before completing an auditory processing task of a step by step Penguin drawing! Look how great their drawings are ✍️🐧

On Thursday P2/3 learned all about Winter animals. They were then set a STEM challenge to make a home to keep some of these Arctic animals warm! Lots of great vocabulary and problem solving work through their talking! West Lothian STEM STEM Learning Speech and Language UK Pedagoo

Tonight, Rishi Sunak and his Government chose to turn their backs on the children of #Gaza yet again. By failing to vote for a #CeasefireNOW at the UN Security Council, the UK is complicit in the horror that children will endure in the coming hours, days, and weeks.

P2/3 enjoying their Christmas Party on Monday! Have a lovely festive break! 🎅🏼🎄
