Well it’s week 1 of our Leadership Groups and the Blog/international group have got off to a flying start, learning all about how the blog works, looking at other school blogs and getting to know each other. We are looking forward to keeping you informed about what is going on at Letham in the coming months.

Mrs Gray and a group of enterprising Primary 7’s (Emma, Jessica, Jemma, Alex, Cameron, Aaron and Corey) are working together to achieve the Play Maker Award. Along with support from last years successful Play Makers, Shola and Cayden (P6), the group provides a great introduction to leadership; giving learners knowledge of how to organise small games and activities that can be used during curricular and extra-curricular times, lunchtimes, breaks, as well as in sports clubs outside school hours. The Play Maker Award aims to help learners develop leadership skills such as organisation, communication and teamwork, as well as helping to build confidence and self-esteem as they take on the responsibility of assisting in leading their peers and younger children. Mrs Gray is looking forward to working with the team and getting them involved in her very successful football after school clubs.
The second week of our Leadership Groups has been exciting. The International / Blog group have been preparing some information about Letham Primary to take and show our partner school in Nepal. This week part of the group took photos around the school of the various leadership groups in action. We think there are going to be big
differences between our school and our Nepalese school.

This is the first day of our whole school leadership groups. We have a wide range of groups including; outdoor learning, house captains, pupil council, enterprise and the international/blog group. In our group we have 20 pupils from P1-P7. For our first group we have been thinking about the blog and writing some letters to penpals in Nepal. Mrs Whiteside and Miss Rojboonthueng are going to visit our partner school in a few weeks through the British Council so they will take the letters with them.
