Thank you to @ColgrainPS Parent Council for organising a Summer Fayre with a difference! From fairground games to bouncy castles and pocket money toys, you had it all! The grand finale Colour Run was every bit as bright and wonderful as we hoped! #Community #parentcouncil

First induction session with @EdScotPLL #EdScotBRL yesterday. Such a diverse group of participants from across various sectors. Cannot wait to get started! Time to make a difference!

Such a heartwarming day 🩷 #PND24

[Colgrain Primary School @ColgrainPS]

Today we focused on identifying the positives that happen around us on a daily basis. Each child and adult went home with a 'positive noticing' tag, written by a peer or colleague. #positivenoticingday @pauldixtweets

[Linda Candlish @mrscan09]

Pedagogy, positive noticing and pace...just a few of today's takeaways from Argyll and Bute's probationer session. Thank you @SimonEaston @hdan5912 @JohnStu75576134 @ArgyllButeEPS for such an engaging day! @v_greenway @abc_OCTF @pauldixtweets #positivenoticing #pace #questioning
