STRATHCLYDE PARK – OUTDOOR WEEK<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Last week all our P.7 pupils had the opportunity to spend 5 days at Strathclyde Park, taking part in a wide range of outdoor pursuits.\u00a0 Huge thanks must go to Mrs Payne, Mr Gall & Mr Sharp who accompanied our pupils.\u00a0 The adults reported back each day how proud they were of these young people, who demonstrated our school values daily.\u00a0 The adults were delighted with the effort shown and sportsmanship demonstrated daily.\u00a0 But what do our pupils think…?<\/p>\n

Kian – It was certainly worth doing because it taught me skills I have not had the opportunity to learn before: orienteering, rowing and driving pedal boats.<\/span><\/p>\n

Liam – it was fun; a different experience from everyday life in school.\u00a0 It was really good because we had more freedom to do things we had never tried before.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Ethan – It was the best place I’ve ever been.\u00a0 We got to do a climbing wall, archery and water games.\u00a0 I would recommend it to anyone who gets the chance to go.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Elisha – I would recommend it to all schools and all ages.\u00a0 I think all schools should get the chance to go – even younger children.\u00a0 We had to demonstrate effort doing lots of different activities.\u00a0 If younger children went they could learn how to ride a bike.\u00a0 It was a great week.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cameron – It was fun.\u00a0 We got to go in boats on the water.\u00a0 Bumper Boats was one of my favourite activities; they have engines and you can drive them to bump into each other.\u00a0 It is like Dodgems, but on water, obviously.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jayden – It was good exercise.\u00a0 You had to run for orienteering (and you had to read maps too). The climbing wall meant you had to exercise your arms too.\u00a0 Different exercise game and tug of war helped too.\u00a0 I enjoyed it.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

All in all, I think we can see that they made the most of the experience!<\/p>\n

ROAD SAFETY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Please remember to park a short distance from the school gates and park legally, being mindful of our neighbours.\u00a0 With Autumn fast-approaching I know we will have many wet & windy days ahead.\u00a0 Everyone will not get a parking spot outside the school gates; I know that.\u00a0 Please be prepared to park and walk.<\/p>\n

Can I also ask that you leave plenty of space around our Crossing Patrol person?\u00a0 Please do not park on the yellow lines or pavement at the gate used by P.4-7.\u00a0 We continue to do all we can to keep your child safe.\u00a0 I appreciate you working with us in this.<\/p>\n

HARVEST<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Last year we did not make a Harvest donation to the Food Bank and St James’ Way due to COVID restrictions and financial restraints on so many of our families.\u00a0 I know many people are still affected by this and will NOT put any families under pressure.\u00a0 However, if anyone wants to make a donation of dried or tinned goods, we will pass this on before the October holiday to these 2 worthy causes.\u00a0 More information coming out next week.<\/p>\n

OCTOBER HOLIDAY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Remember we stop for our October Week Holiday on Friday 8th October at our usual finishing times.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NOW ENJOY THE LONG WEEKEND AND I’LL SEE YOU ON TUESDAY!<\/span><\/p>\n
