Health Week – Monday 19th May – Wednesday 21st May

Next week is our annual Health Week in the school.  A number of activities have been planned including cookery demonstrations, electrical safety talks, a visit from a farmer and the “Riderz Stunt Team” to name just a few.  It would be very helpful if your child had their P.E kit and a full water bottle at school on these days.

 As part of the Health Week and in relation to Our Lady of the Missions’ Travel Plan, our Eco School Action Plan and Junior Road Safety Officer programme we are organising a ‘Ride or Stride’ event.

 The ‘Ride or Stride’ initiative is aimed at encouraging children to walk or cycle to school, promote road safety and raise awareness of lower carbon emissions and thus help to protect our environment.

 During the ‘Ride or Stride’ week, members of staff will meet the children at Eastwood Recreation Centre at 8.40am and walk or cycle to school together, through Eastwood Park.  We hope that you will support us by allowing your child to join us. Parents are welcome too!

 Our Lady of The Missions Travel Plan and Eco Action Plan are available on the this website.

Carolynne McKendry (East Renfrewshire Health & Well Being team) has offered to do a workshop for parents about the importance of sleep for children as part of health week.  It will be held in the school on Monday 19th May from 5.00-5.45.
