Meldrum Messages - Friday 9th October 2026
We’ve had a lot going on this week here at Meldrum. We’ve welcomed 2 college students to the school, they have been working with P1/2 and P3/2 and should be with us every Wednesday and Thursday over the coming weeks. Mr Douglas is working within P1/2 and Miss McGrogan is working with P3/2. They will be supporting with groups and undertaking activities which will be supervised by Mrs Lang and Miss Canning. P2, P3 and P4 pupils had a visit from Susan at Carmondean Library who shared information about the different clubs and activities that run in the library. P7 families had the opportunity to visit DCHS for a tour and welcome talk from Miss Thomson, DHT who organises transition and supports S1. This seemed to go well with lots of pupils talking positively about their visit. Our Parent Consultations were very well attended and staff enjoyed sharing information about pupil learning with parents and carers. Our P7 pupils had the option to join their consultation and this seemed to be a positive experience for them. This morning, we took part in NSPCC assemblies with the key message of “Speak Out, Stay Safe.” P4 – P7 viewed one presentation and P1 – P3 viewed something different with a similar message. The children will take part in some follow-up activities in classes next week. The link for you to view materials was shared by letter previously for anyone who wishes to see what the children will be doing.
