Following on from the  Adventurers afternoon in the woods ,the Eco Club decided to follow their example. Laden with mats, packed lunch boxes and Leaf Charts  we all marched down to the clearing behind the Gymnastics Club whilst self risk-assessing the environment as we went. From the pictures you`ll see loads of leaf identification and teamwork, all possible because of the wonderful parental support on hand.Thank you everyone and see you at the next Eco Club on Monday the 7th November where we`ll feed the birds not forgetting ourselves.

Take a look at the number of children giving up their lunch-time to talk about books. Mrs McRoberts  was delighted to sign them all up for sessions where they will discuss spooky books and other topical themes. Two  groups will formed and these will alternate each week. The National Literacy Challenge has been set by the Scottish Government  and as you can see ,St Elizabeth`s children are well up for it. Well done and happy reading to you all.

How lucky are these children to get a brand new maths textbook and a Tunnock`s Teacake , both at the same time.The famous Bakery donated £200 to the school for books and we`d like to say thank-you in the best way possible by enjoying one of their products. 

Today ,in front of a gathered audience of dignitaries and invited guests our pupils were pronounced Class Pupil Council Representatives after many weeks of manifestoes, secret ballots and vote counting. Lyndsay Freeland, Chief Executive of South Lanarkshire Council , Provost Logan, Jean McKeown Chair of Education,Cllr McCaig,Cllr Robertson,MSP Christina McKelvie ,Tony McDaid Education Officer, Mrs Lawson HT from Our Lady and St Anne’s, Mrs Toolan Community Partnership , Mrs Fagan Holy Cross and Mrs Bradshaw and Mrs McCabe,formerly HT and DHT respectively, were on hand to present the very proud children with their “Badges of Office”. The Pupil Council will meet with the Headteacher  Miss MacPhee throughout the year to discuss ways  of  keeping  St Elizabeth`s School the very best it can be .Good l uck and well done to you all.

On Friday some very lucky children, teamed up with Amy and Claire from The National Trust of Scotland to learn from and more about Eddlewoods, only  a few hundred meters from the school. They began by identifying leaves to an activity called  Eyes Closed Identification and from there to make the  creative pics you see on screen. Once trained, these Adventures will train up even more pupils as we start  to take full advantage of that super environment on our back door with much many more adventurers.
