WLC Play Area Survey
WLC are looking to expand their play area survey reach this year, please see link here : https://app.surveyhero.com/s/3b41ace
Please complete with your child and discuss what they think about their local spaces.
The surveys really help WLC to understand general satisfaction with the spaces. WLC try their best to take comments onboard where they can so it would be great to have as many families complete the survey as possible.

Be an Engineer: Dragons Den
A huge well done to all the pupils who took part in our Dragon’s Den event today. Our overall winners are children from:
Early Level: Ness Clan
First Level: Leven Clan
Second Level: Ben Lawers
Our Dragons had a difficult decision for every level. They commented on the confident individuals who presented and pupils showed success in their learning.
Our Dragons were from Morrison construction, Education Scotland STEM team and Heriot Watt Engineering department. A big thank you to them for their time.

Become a Disney play leader
Dear Parents/Carers
If you have ever considered undertaking any training to get more children active please see details below of the Disney Playmakers course.

No prior knowledge of football is required and the purpose of the programme is to build fundamental movement skills, to teach life skills and value and to develop football basics – all through storytelling!
Attendees will gain the SFA Early Touches qualification as part of the training.
