We have celebrated some Stars today who have been living our values of Respect, Perseverance and Teamwork. Well done to Scott, Mya, Lachlan and Owen.
I have also introduce a House Competition today. The aim of the Competition is to produce work which can be displayed in the village to support local dog walkers to pick up after their dog and keep the pitch clean.
The rules of the competition are:
- You should work on your entry at home but you can take paper from school to use.
- Your entry should be on A4 paper and have your name and house on the back.
- You can work on your own or do a family entry (with a brother or sister).
- Parents can advise but it should be the child’s own work – it is the content that is most important. If your child’s is the winning entry we can help with presentation and spelling before it is published, if needed.
- Entries must come into school at 9am on 7th February at the latest.
There are two tasks and your child can choose which one they do:
- Design a poster with a bright and colourful picture and a slogan encouraging dog walkers to pick up.
- Write a persuasive letter asking Dog Walkers to pick up after their pet and giving suggestions for ways to make sure they do. Start it ‘Dear Gauldry Dog Walkers’ and end it ‘From the children at Balmerino Primary School’
All children who submit an entry will win points for their house and those whose entries are picked to be displayed in the village will win extra points. The village hall committee are going to help us select the entries to display.
