As the children mentioned during the Reach for the Stars presentation, we have introduced ‘electives’ in school.
Mrs McKee and Mrs McLaughland consulted with the children to gather their views about which activities they would like to see on offer. Electives should be motivating and engaging for the children and activities that they really enjoy and look forward to participating in. Mrs McKee was delighted to see so many active electives being proposed and has already met with our new Active Schools Co-ordinator, Cherryl Fulton, in order to offer as many varied sporting opportunities as possible. There were also many other electives ideas suggested by the children from cooking and crafts to K,Nex and knitting!
We will do our best to offer a range of electives each block and keep our ideas fresh, creative and innovative therefore encouraging our children to ‘Reach for the Stars’!
