Onthank’s Soccer Aid

⚽ONTHANK’S SOCCER AID⚽
UNCRC Articles 24 and 31
 
Our partner school, Abbey Foundation, in Uganda experienced heavy rainfall and their toilets collapsed and were damaged. P7s, along with Miss Telford, planned and led a Soccer Aid event to try and raise money to help them with their rebuild to access a basic need and to promote children’s rights. Check out some of the highlights in the video below with lots of fun activities included such as stage tournaments, inflatable dartboard and goals, bubble football, blind football, football tennis, rob the nest and a staff vs P7 game. All children received an ice pole and certificate for their efforts and winners got an extra break time.
An amazing £487.50 was raised – thank you to everyone who donated, it is greatly appreciated!
Special thanks to Blair and the Football Fun Factory, Craig at Bubble Soccer World and former Scotland player Brian McClair and Kirsten for helping make the days extra fun! We had a BALL⚽

Paddington and Pals🐻

Our Rights Respecting Schools ambassadors worked hard to create our ‘pawsome’ new playground charter. Primary 3T then designed the graphic which was then transferred onto our lovely new signs, huge thank you to John Imrie Signs.

To launch our new charter and house points, each class in the school participated in a Paddington Hunt where they searched for marmalade jars and clues leading them to the big reveal! Primary 1s and 2s even got to stamp Paddington’s passport.

Check it out in the video below and keep your eyes peeled for Onthank’s very own mini-Paddington bear!
