The Daily Mile in Primary 1

Leave a reply

The boys and girls in Primary 1 have had their first chance to take part in the daily mile. We looked at a film of some other boys and girls taking part and we decided that it looked like lots of fun! We had a discussion in the class about exercise and we know that running and walking and being in the fresh air are good things to help our little brains.

We will try and go out every day, and the exciting thing is that one of us will have Mrs McKay or Mrs Sutherland or another grown up as our walking partner. This will be a good chance to chat to our new teachers and we can find out more about each other!

Look out for some photographs which Mrs McKay has taken.

There is some information about the daily mile here , and you can ask us about it too.

SAVE THE CHILDREN FAST PROGRAMME

In association with Save the Children, Uphall Primary is delighted to be hosting the Families and Schools Together Programme (FAST).

We are looking for 20 Nursery and Primary 1 families to take part in the programme which is designed for families to come together after school when there will be opportunities for the children to play, parents to chat and for everyone to share a meal. There will be 8 weekly sessions of 2 hours duration on a Thursday afternoon with a graduation ceremony at the end of the block. The intended start date for the programme will be Thursday 28th September 2017 from 3.15 – 5.15.

Volunteers
We are also looking for parents or extended family members and community volunteers to help with the delivery of the programme. Volunteers will undertake two days training at Uphall Primary on 14th and 15th September in readiness for the programme beginning on 28th September.
I have added a link below for a short You Tube video which gives more details.
