  Today, Tuesday 11th February is Internet Safety Day. Our children will be learning how to keep themselves safe online throughout the week. 

  Sometimes as parents, it is difficult to keep up with technology and the games and apps the children are accessing online and on their gaming consoles.

• Mental Health Week

  This is Child's Mental Health Week. Staff work hard at Groggan everyday to promote positive mental health and well being with our pupils. We encourage the children to use their Thought Books, Worry Boxes and each day we check how they are doing with our feelings boards in each room. This week, our teaching staff met with our friends from Millquarter Primary School for Emotional Health and Well being training. The children have been learning about positive thoughts and good mental health in class activities. Our Primary 7 pupils are taking part in the Fresh Little Minds programme each Friday and are really enjoying these sessions.
