Pupils in the Health and Wellbeing Committee have been busy planning and organising a health week for the whole school, which will take place between 3^rd-7^th June.

So far activities include:

• A walking school bus to meet at the village hall every morning at 8.45am
• Daily wake up shake up routines
• A presentation by the H&W Committee on British Heart Foundation (Monday morning)
• A visit from the school nurse to talk about hand washing and sun safety (Monday afternoon)
• A visit from the Mountain Rescue Team (Tuesday morning)
• Heart Start presentations from each class (Tuesday morning)
• Sports afternoon (Wednesday afternoon, starting at 1.30pm)
• A commonwealth activity afternoon (Thursday afternoon)
• Healthy snack preparation by pupils (Friday morning)
• Skip-a-thon sponsored event to raise money for British Heart Foundation (Friday afternoon)

Our Skip-a-thon will be held on Friday 7^th June at 1.30pm-3.30pm, weather permitting. The event will be differentiated as follows:

Nursery – obstacle course (pupils will keep going for 5 minutes)

P1/2 – as above with more obstacles and for 7 minutes

P3 – choose to join P1/2 or P4-7

P4-7 – skip on the spot for as long as possible to each child

We would greatly appreciate any support you can give your child with their fundraising, e.g. by asking friends and family to sponsor them. Sponsor forms were issued today (13.5.13) to all pupils. In the ‘Amount sponsored’ column P4-7 pupils could either receive a donation or an amount per minute that they manage to skip.

More details will follow about health week soon.
