The East Renfrewshire Sumdog Competition has been running over the weekend. It runs until the 20th of June and can be accessed at home. The children will have a little bit of time to compete in class but it would help if they could do a little at home too!

Thanks

Healthy Snack Challenge

As you may already be aware, during Health Week Scotland on 10th-14th June we are encouraging pupils to bring fruit or veg to school at break time as a healthy snack (this is not in addition to a sweet or crisps this should be the only snack they have).

Children will get 1 house point for each day they do this.  If by the end of the week have brought a piece of fruit or veg on 5 consecutive days they will receive a bonus 5 house points.

This week takes place right before the final count of house points and could have a big impact on which House triumphs this year and has the opportunity to attend the end of year trip!  Extra fruit and veg snacks will be available for purchase in the canteen during this week and points can be earned this way too!

To enhance our Spotlight Skills work, I would be grateful if you could donate the following items – if you have them.

  • Old/obsolete/broken mechanical or electrical items that are laying in the back of a cupboard. These items will be taken apart and cannot be returned, so items that would otherwise go to landfill ONLY (No antiques or heirlooms!)
  • Clean pine or other softwood timber for use in our workbench area.
  • Spare or unwanted Philips (cross head) screwdrivers that you would be willing to donate to the school.
  • Plastic milkbottle tops – Green, red or blue type of thing.
  • Old, clean wooden boxes or palettes (let me know if you have these so i can judge how many to accept!)
  • Any old/ clean hinges, doorknobs, nameplates or ironmongery. Basically anything that can be connected with screws.

This week, we need your help. As part of our classroom display, we are wanting to create a permanent mural of wisdom from successful creators, learners and thinkers – sometimes known as inspirational quotes.

It could be from a successful artist, creator, leader, or sportsman. It can be from anyone, as long as it ties in with our new classroom ethos of promoting secure, creative, healthy, explorative learning. It could even be a quote from a member of your family or a friend.

Research or find good quotes, then write or print out at least three. Make sure to include the full name of the person who said it.
