All pupils will receive their letters and order form for our brand new umbrella today.  This is part of promoting our Park and Stride campaign and trying to make school a safer place for pupils during drop off and collection times.  A copy of the letter and order form are attached below.

Thank you to the PTA for organising a Family Quiz Night tonight. The children all enjoyed it, tuck shop was really busy and the games were all good fun. Derek had a hard job keeping everyone under control.

Graeme was back for assembly today and he was speaking about charity through Comic Relief and a story from the bible.  It made us really think about caring, kindness and appreciation.  We also had some great audience participation.

 

We have been working so hard on our Fairtrade status this year .  P6 pupils have been producing lots of excellent work and a fantastic assembly for Fairtrade Fortnight and P1 pupils have been using Fairtrade bananas in their cooking lessons.  We have now been awarded our next Fairtrade award which is the Fairactive award for taking action on Fairtrade.  Well done to all pupils and staff on this fantastic achievement.

P3/4 to P7 had a very ingesting talk from Stuart who works with the Project Trust. He told us all about being a Global Citizen and that we should play our part in using our worlds resources ‘sustainably’. He also told us about making sure we play our part in Fairtrade which is something we have all been thinking about over that last week or so as it is Fairtrade Fortnight. I have some questions for you about yesterday’s talk, see how many you can answer and I will post the correct answers next week:)
1 How many litres of water do we use in a week?
2 How many people cannot get access to good quality water?
3 Which city was the example given about how water is not being used well?
4 How does this affect other countries?
5 Across the world what are some of the ways water is not used well?
6 Why are people in Namibia using water well?
7 What can we do to help?

Lets see how you get on…
