Thursday 7th March is World Book Day
We are celebrating with two events; a ‘Readathon’ and a ‘Book Swap’.
To find out more about the Readathon, follow this link; http://www.readathon.org/
The ‘Book Swap’ provides pupil with the chance to swap books with other pupils. Children are invited to bring to school ONE book that they have finished with and swap it with a book from another child.
For any additional information, contact us at school.
The awards are to be presented to the schools with the highest percentage of pupils actively travelling to school that year. At Primary level each high school cluster area will have their own shield to compete for; while at secondary level the 9 High Schools will compete for the Secondary School Active Travel Champion Award.
The schools have already gathered the information required as part of the National School Travel Hands Up Survey. This takes place annually in September when every nursery, primary and secondary school pupil is surveyed on their travel mode to school and the results are collated for every authority in Scotland by Sustrans on behalf of the Scottish Government.
We would like to invite you (or a teacher/parent representative) and two Junior Road Safety Officers to attend the Inaugural Active School Travel Awards to allow us to present your award in person on Thursday 7 March.
Scottish Borders Council and the NHS Health Improvement Team are working on a project on nutrition for children and young people. As part of the background to this project, the group wishes to survey parents about their views about school dinners, packed lunches, and other ways in which children and young people may get their lunch. They have therefore designed an online survey and we would welcome your help in making parents aware of this opportunity to submit their views.
The link to the survey is: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/pupillunchtimesurvey
The closing date for responses to the survey is Thursday 28 March 2013.
