As part of our Commonwealth Supporters Team some pupils in P5/6 have created signs to cheer Mrs Paterson on when she takes to the streets of Whitburn on Sunday 15th June and carries the Commonwealth Baton.

In an effort to raise money for our Lent Charities 2014 we are going to allow classes to wear their trainers to school on Friday 28th March if they bring in a £1 for charity. We will be organising sporting events for our classes that morning including a chance to design your own Commonwealth Games 2014 trainer! Get thinking about what yours could look like!

All classes also have a SCIAF ‘Wee Box” on their altar area to try to collect some spare change to help families in Colombia who have lost their land and are trying to create fish farms in order to feed their children this LENT 2014.

The pupils in P5/6 really enjoyed meeting a Commonwealth Games Athlete to day James Miller who is an expert a Judo. He shared some of his life goals and asked the pupils to set themselves a challenge over the next few weeks to become a Champion in school. The goal does not have to be sport related but must be achievable and be measured over the coming weeks. The pupils have been issued with booklets to help focus their goals and help and support will be provided here in school.

We look forward to meeting James Millar on Monday remember your PE kit P5/6 all ready to get active!
