Tell us your views

The council is sharing detailed information on its school buildings with a new website giving a full picture of its estate at individual school, cluster and East Lothian level.

The website – www.eastlothian.gov.uk/ler – brings together information on the condition, suitability and capacity of existing schools and the council is keen to hear the views of families, communities and learners.

This is part of the development of a Learning Estate Investment Plan for East Lothian. The plan will set out the council’s investment priorities for its schools to make sure that all facilities support high quality teaching and learning equally across the county, and to outline the investment needed for this to happen. It will also consider how school buildings support community use.

The feedback will be analysed alongside the results of the online questionnaire that was held in February and presented at a future council meeting. For more information, including dates of event in your area and a link to the questionnaire, visit www.eastlothian.gov.uk/ler

The pre-consultation will close on 10 December 2021.

South Of Scotland Transport Survey for Young People

The Workforce Mobility Project would like young people to complete a short five minute survey. This is a great opportunity to highlight the transport and digital barriers and challenges which impact you and your families.

This survey is for all young people, and is asking about all forms of transport, from walking, public transport, personal car use and all points in between. It is also important to hear the voices of young people who might otherwise be ignored, such as young people with disabilities, and their experience of transport in the area.

P3/4: The discovery of a mysterious object

The discovery of mysterious object  

 

Yesterday, Primary 3 and 4 went on an autumn scavenger hunt. The sun was shining and the wellies were on our feet! We walked down the path with our clipboards, looking for all the items on the sheet. 

 

First, we saw 2 micro lights and a helicopter soaring through the bright blue sky.  Everyone was wondering why they were flying so close together and at the same time. 

 

Spying in the trees we all looked puzzled. There was something stuck  in the branches. Everyone was curious to find what it was, but was it safe?

 

Mrs Overmeer decided to phone Mr Brown and ask if it was okay  if one of the children climbed in the tree to pull out the mysterious object. 

 

We did not know what it was…

We thought it was part of a hot air balloon at first. We then thought it could be fireworks. Some of us thought it was the micro light engine or could it be a time capsule or maybe it had something to do with the army base close by. 

 

In the afternoon back at school, we opened the ‘thing’. A lot of items were inside, like a letter, glass bottles, a dog picture and many other strange and weird and wonderful things. 

 

We have been so excited to find something so peculiar!
