This morning we had Clare Chapman from Wateraid who spoke to the P.4-7 pupils about her most recent visit to Uganda. She told us how the children there have to walk up to 4km twice a day  just to get drinking water!

She showed us photographs of the work Wateraid had been doing to help build toilets and sewage drains. The £441 we raised through our Pupil Pipeline event last year will go towards funding future projects like this.

It made us realise how lucky we are to live where we do!

A team of P7s from Birkhill Primary had so much fun participating in the annual Monifieth Fun In Athletics competition. Our team performed really well in the track and field events and came in second place overall. We would like to thank Jo Whaite (our Active Schools Co-ordinator) for helping to organise the event. We’d also like to thank the team of Dundee & Angus College students for overseeing the events and demonstrating the different skills for us each time.
