Sports Committee<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sports Committee recently delivered a short presentation at last Friday’s Assembly. They split themselves into 3 groups and have came up with 3 fantastic ideas.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fruity Friday. Each child within our school is encouraged to bring a piece of fruit for their snack every Friday. This is to promote healthy eating. The Sports Committee will go round each class and give 2 house points to each child who has a piece of fruit.<\/li>\n
  2. Sport Spotlight. Every month, members of each class will be working towards a Sport Spotlight certificate. This idea is being backed by Mr stewart and the rest of the staff but is an idea developed by the Sports Committee. P1-P2 can receive this award by showing perseverance, resilience, working hard and always trying their best in PE. P3 – P7 will be the same but also by showing sportsmanship and by representing the school to the best of their ability in competive matches, cluster festivals and by attending extra-curricular activities. Mr Stewart and the class teachers will decide for p1 and P2 and then each class will decide for p3-p7 along with the Sports Committee and Mr Stewart.<\/li>\n
  3. Sports Letter to Carers: We are looking for support in delivering more extra-curricular activities. The Sports Committee have written to all parents and carers for support. If you are keen to help please contact Mrs Young at the office. Even if you have no previous experience we can support you in delivering an activity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Exciting Times Ahead<\/span><\/p>\n

    Terms 3 and 4 will be very busy. Here is a flavour of what is coming up.<\/p>\n
