Active 8 Tennis Festival

P5 Tennis Festival

All P5 pupils participated in the Active 8 Williamwood Cluster Tennis Festival at Clarkston Tennis Club on Wednesday 8th June.  The children were divided into groups with peers from Carolside and Netherlee Primary schools and rotated around 13 different activity ‘stations’.  The weather was fantastic and all pupils gave very positive feedback about the day.  Our thanks go to Active Schools staff and the Sports Leaders from the high school for organising a great event.

Royal Mail Young Letter Writer 2015

Thank you to the pupils for their competition entries.

We have received confirmation from Royal Mail that the entries have been accepted.  They have received nearly 100,000 letters!  The judging process has started in earnest and every letter will now be read by our team of judges. 120 finalists will be selected, then the winners will be chosen by a panel of judges, including TV presenter Helen Skelton.

It will take about two months for the judges to read through all the letters and select the 120 finalists.  We will be notified around the end of January if any of our entries is a finalist or a winner.
