We have been delighted by the arrival of new play equipment in the primary 4 to 7 playground. We came in from break absolutely buzzing with excitement at the new games that we can now play. We now have even more reason to look forward to morning break and lunchtime!
Some of us have been reading extracts from Zlata’s Diary – the diary of a young girl living in Sarajevo in the early 1990s. When the diary begins Zlata is 10 like some of us, and likes normal things: school, friends, pets, music and simply being a young girl. All this changes when war comes to Sarajevo. Zlata is not able to play with her friends any more, not able to go to school for lessons or even leave her house. It reminds us how lucky we are to have the freedom to play with our friends and have lessons at school.
We are delighted that the litter pickers have been keeping our playground really clean and that everyone is helping by not dropping litter. We are very pleased about our new green flag and are wondering when we will get a turn at being litter pickers at playtime?
Hello there P4/5, thank you for such an interesting blog. I remember being told by my history teacher in school that there is a conflict going on somewhere in the world every day. That fact has not changed in the many years since I was at school as a pupil. That is one reason why we try to make sure that in our school community we value our lives here in Clackmannan and how much we have compared to other people.
I am really enjoying watching you all playing with the new playground toys. I can’t wait until the weather is dry enough to let everyone back out onto the grass.
Health Week with all our visitors and new activities and sports to try will be an ideal opportunity for us to put all our positive attributes and cooperative skills to use.
