P4-7 Leadership Academies 26 August 2015

Our senior pupils had a great time in their academies today. Their first task was to discuss and agree on 3 outcomes they want to achieve this year and start to plan how they will be successful. We will share these outcomes with you very soon!

It was harvest time for the garden academy. Mrs Quinn showed the pupils how to dig up carrots, onions and potatoes and they also started weeding the flat beds. Many of the sunflowers planted by P3 last term have grown tall and strong. They look lovely in our garden. I wonder what they will cook in our learning kitchen with their produce?

Our focus on food academy baked cupcakes this morning and decorated them this afternoon with the support and guidance of Mrs Martin, Mrs Ritchie, Ms Gillespie, Mrs Bowden and Mrs Duncan. Thank you Mrs Home and Mrs Armour for donating cup cake items today! We had a great time!

IMG_2546I was delighted to choose the top three designs to enter the Chryston Horticultural Society Annual Show on Saturday. Good luck!

Eco committeeThe eco committee worked hard to develop their ideas for school improvement. Mrs Grant was very impressed!

Fairtrade CommitteeThe fairtrade committee created designs for their own logo and came up with some great suggestions to raise awareness of fairtrade and fund raise at the same time. Mrs McDaid thinks that her team will do very well this year and she has been amazed by their great ideas. Well done!

IMG_2538The Pupil Council were designing school mascots today. I wonder what the winning design will be? Mrs Fisher will reveal this exciting information very soon!

IMG_2540Ths sports leadership academy worked hard with Ross Sweeney, (Active Schools Co-ordinator), Mrs Green (Parent) and Mrs McCluskey (Classroom Assistant). They spilt into 3 teams to plan a “Road to Rio’ Running Challenge for P4-7 pupils during lunchtimes. They have many events to lead this year including our nursery and primary sports days.

Our enterprise committee have many great ideas for whole school events this year such as a junior master chef challenge and a talent show. I am confident that Ms Brunton will lead her leaders to put on some fantastic events this year!
