The start of the summer has seen our Barshare Bolterz club get up and running (!) and so far it has been a great success.
The pupils have been focusing on developing their fitness and their running form and this week were able to practice sprinting in the sunshine. All the boys and girls have put in a fantastic effort over the last couple of weeks.
A huge well done to everyone in our p6/7 dance troupe Energize. They have worked hard every Thursday after school to learn the routine for their performance tonight at the Palace Theatre in Kilmarnock. Special thanks to our formal pupil Eilidh Karimlar for her choreography. Excellent hard work and commitment shown by all!
The Clever Cogs are still excited about their Regional STEM Primary Club of the Year award. Here are some of their photos with the trophy!
Over the past few weeks a group of children have been working hard with Mrs Conquer to start a running club within the school called the Barshare Bolterz. In fact, over 60 children were interested in taking part in this club!
A small number of the pupils that were interested worked with Mrs Conquer to prepare an application for a Young People’s Participatory Budget grant. This was to secure funding to buy equipment to make our new running club fun and to encourage pupils to engage in the training.
The group prepared a presentation and had to attend a voting event last Saturday at YipWorld in Cumnock. They had to campaign to members of the public to encourage them to vote for our club.
The group are delighted to announce that they were successful in their campaign and received enough votes to be awarded the grant. The money will help us to get our club up and running in Term 4!
Thanks to everyone who came along to support us and to vote.
