Fundraising Art Competition

Dear Parent/Carer,

Our Active Schools Coordinator, Fraser, is hoping to visit Malawi in September and he needs our help with fundraising.

The pupil council came up with a plan to run an art competition across the whole school to raise money, to have fun and also for the chance to win a fantastic art set.

The theme is African animals and entries can be done in pen, pencil, paint, crayon or collage as long as they are no bigger than the A4 entry paper.

Pupils can buy their entry paper for 50p per sheet, and can enter as many times as they like. There will be one prize for each floor. Entries have to be returned by Wednesday the 25^th March.

All entries should have the pupil’s full name and class marked clearly on the back of the paper.

The pupil council will judge the competition and the names of the 3 winners will be announced during our ACE assembly on Friday 27^th March, which is also the Dress Down Day. Pupils will be encouraged to wear red, green or black clothes this day, as this is the colours of the Malawi flag. The charge for this will be £1.

Thank you in advance for your support for this worthwhile cause,

Miss Laird and the Pupil Council.

Last week of clubs for the term

Sadly this week is the last week of clubs for the term. We have had loads of fun and have been working really hard in all of our clubs learnng new things.

In Scratch we made animations about Scotland and some of us even got to add our voices on to the project to make it more interesting.

In Kodu we have been working on our game making skills because after the Easter break we are going to be making our games to enter into the KoduKup competition.

Finally our Friday computing club have been learning magic this term while also learning about computing at the same time. We have loved doing these magic tricks and it was great getting to show the whole school at assembly what we had been learning. We are looking forward to next term already and what it may bring us.

Club update

We have been very busy over the past couple of weeks. In Scratch club we are now ready to add in some voice overs to our Scottish animation that we have been working on we look forward to sharing them soon.

In Kodu club we have been perfecting our game making skills this is because after Easter we are going to be entering into a competition called the KoduKup and we are going to have to design our own game. Last year we were lucky enough to get one team through to the final and we hope we can repeat this again this year.

Fridays are still magic in our club we are continually learning about computing without computers and it has been great fun. We now know 3 tricks that we confidently perform and we understand how they relate to computing.
