\"Kirkton<\/a>On day three of his Game On Scotland tour, Clyde was out and about visiting schools in Fife and Tayside and two of the schools visited were also awarded Game On Scotland plaques. Kirkton of Largo Primary School is the first Fife school to receive a plaque for their outstanding Games-related work, with Glamis Primary taking the honours for Angus. Congratulations to both!<\/p>\n

The Queen\u2019s Baton Relay<\/a> has been a major focus for Kirkton of Largo, with pupils tracking the progress of the baton around the 70 nations and territories of the Commonwealth and posting updates on Twitter. These updates led to Vision Africa, a charitable organisation, offering to take the pupils\u2019 baton to Kenya, where it featured in the real Queen\u2019s Baton Relay alongside famous Kenyan athlete Kipchoge Keino. The school has also been engaged in researching the countries of the Commonwealth, has signed up to the Digital Commonwealth<\/a> project and even featured Clyde in their nativity! You can follow the school’s updates on Twitter at @KirktonPS<\/a>, including lots of photos of Clyde’s visit.<\/p>\n

Glamis Primary pupils have been set 30 Commonwealth Games challenges, linked to sports<\/a> but extending out across the curriculum. From boxing to lawn bowls, they\u2019ve been working on peer-led projects and even involved families and the local community. In the words of one teacher, their work has spread \u201cCommonwealth Fever\u201d throughout the school. The school will be continuing its work right up to the end of session, with more pupils set to be involved as their activities build to a climax.<\/p>\n

If your school would like to receive a Game On Scotland plaque <\/a>(as well as a range of other benefits, including mascot visits), then make sure you register a Game On Challenge<\/a>, telling us about your plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
