Out of Hours Learning
We have been very lucky this year to offer a variety of Out of Hours Learning activities right across the school. In consultation with the children, some of our more popular clubs have run for two consecutive terms. We will endeavour to continuosly increase the number of opportunities we provide.
In addition, some of our Primary Six children have taken part in a pilot scheme to become Junior Sports Leaders. They have learned how to run a mini- club at lunchtimes and then put this into practise by offering it to the Primary One and Two Children. Currently we have nine children who have successfully participated in the Junior Sports Leaders programme. These children offer activities to children on a Monday and a Friday each week. We plan to roll this initiative out further due to its success.
Some of our Out of Hours Learning clubs include:
Football (junior)
Football (senior)
Netball
Multi Sports
Homework
Eco
FairTrade
International Schools
Rota

New sport strips- thanks to our parents
A huge thanks to Mr Shanks and Mr Watterson who have kindly sponsored our school in order for us to receive new sports strips. Our guests of honour were present at our assembly this morning to see how good our strips look on. Thank you again for all your support.
Eco and Malawi Supporting our Local Food Banks
The Eco and Malawi committees took on a major initiative before Christmas and organised a food drive in the school to help our local food bank. Food is a main focus for both committees and we thought it would be fantastic if we could support those in our local community who need help with food and house hold essentials.
We invited our local food bank representatives ( Annette and James) in to present to us at a school assembly and talk about some of the great work they do. The Eco and Malawi committee wrote a letter to the parents asking them to donate and telling them what things were suitable for donation. Both committees teamed up to produce posters that were displayed in and around the school and village. We also created a powerpoint to show at the assembly. Our food drive lasted for 10 weeks and we collected a massive amount of donations that had to be collected over two pick ups!
This made a huge difference to those who needed it in our community.
Christmas Jumper Day
