After the Easter holidays our pupils from POD 1 and 2 had a trip filled week. They visited the Royal
Mile, completing a scavenger hunt quiz along the way, before eating lunch at Arthur’s seat. The trip
wouldn’t have been complete without a wee visit to the fudge shop on the way back up the mile to
catch the bus.
On Wednesday the pupils made the most of the great weather and had a fun filled afternoon at Fort
Douglas at Dalkeith Country Park. It was lovely to see them playing together as one big group and
encouraging each other to try new things.
Lastly on Thursday they visited the National Museum of Scotland. They explored the exhibits that
interested them which turned out to be al of them! Some of the favourites included the Animal
Kingdom as Pod 1 have been learning about animal adaptions. The explore area was also a hit as they
tested their reflexes and investigated changing technologies. They also visited the roof terrace and
enjoyed clear views of Edinburgh, including parts of the Royal mile they visited on Tuesday.
During these trips the pupils put into practise important life skills they have been learning in the
classrooms. These included using pupil transport and road safety. We are proud of our pupils for
representing our school with pride and respect throughout. They are already enthusiastically asking
their teachers when the next trips will be!

It is essential that this survey is completed by Friday 10th November so that we can check final numbers for the planning of the evening.
The event will include an Art, Photography and Design exhibition, as well as a shop where you can purchase products made by our students. This year we will also have a dance performance and fashion show, which will begin at 6.45pm followed by awards.
We look forward to celebrating the amazing achievements of our students with you!
Supported study sessions are great way to get help with tricky concepts, revise key topics and prepare for senior phase coursework submissions and examinations. Please find the updated timetable below. Students can attend their own teacher’s study sessions but they are also welcome to attend other sessions, should they fit better with after school commitments. Students who require a bus to get home following a session should use their travel card, if there are any issues with this please see Mrs Brown, DHT.
Supported Study Timetable January 23 update

Please also check all of your system requirements ahead of time, including that your speakers and microphone work effectively.
Two of our S6 Photography students very kindly took and edited hundred of photos from the Senior Phase Awards Ceremony which took place in September. The photos are fantastic and we are very happy to be sharing them with you.
All current Lasswade students have been added to a shared Google Drive so that they can access all of the photos online. If your child attended the Senior Phase Awards Ceremony but is no longer a Lasswade student, please get in touch (via email) if you would like us to send specific photos to you.
