K’nex Challenge
Well done to St Mark’s pupils who took part in St Luke’s K’nex Challenge on Friday. Building with a variety of materials encourages play and early engineering skills. A few benefits include:
- fine motor skill development
- pattern making/understanding
- understanding of cause and effect (build…fall down…)
- principles of engineering including beams, columns and load
- impermanence–something that gets built eventually gets taken apart
- cooperation–if working with peers
- working with a variety of materials
- testing and experimentation
- creativity and design process

P1-3 Free School Meals
Dear Parent/Carer,
As you know the P1-P3 menu has now been in place for 6 weeks. We are delighted to be able to tell you from Monday 16 February 2015 an additional third choice of a sandwich or baked potato option will be available on alternate days. It is hoped that this should alleviate some of the teething problems encountered initially and with continued consultation this initiative will continue to succeed.
Full details may be found via East Renfrewshire Lunch Menu
