Can you knit? Are you able to help new Primary 1 children adjust to their time at school? If so, we received the following from Laura Wright at Midlothian Council: The Mid Mouse project is a Midlothian transition project to support children who are starting Primary 1 in August 2021. We want to ensure that this is a joyful experience for all Midlothian children. We require willing volunteers to help to knit/crochet mice, so that every child starting school in August will receive one. Our hope is that this will help ‘knit our Midlothian community back together’. The children will get to take their mouse with them when they start school and we hope that this will help them to settle. Children will receive their mouse in the summer term, in the lead up to the school holidays. During this time, children will take part in various transition activities, with their mouse at their nursery and/or with their childminder and at home. If you are interested in getting involved, you can reach Laura at [email protected] to find out more. If you want to get started right away, you'll find the knitting pattern in the file below.

In summary, the changes mean that the owner of the property must ensure that:
These smoke and heat alarms must be ceiling-mounted and interlinked. Carbon monoxide detectors are also required in every room with a carbon-fuelled appliance, such as a boiler or heater, and wherever a flue exists. The carbon monoxide alarms do not require to be linked to each other, or to the smoke and heat alarms. If you own your own property, then it is for you to ensure your home meets the new standards. If your home is owned by a housing association or similar, then the onus is with the landlord. Lynne has provided a leaflet produced by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service which gives more details to the new requirements, and what this means for you. The legislation was originally planned to be introduced in 2021, but this has been delayed until 2022 at the earliest due to the Coronavirus pandemic - note that the leaflet still reflects the original dates.
