Youthwork in West Lothian

I am writing to you as the new secretary of West Lothian Battalion of The Boys’ Brigade. I wanted to take this opportunity to make you aware of the large scale of voluntary work carried out across West Lothian.

On Saturday 25th September 2021, we will be hosting a free family fun day in conjunction with West Lothian Division of The Girls’ Brigade. This is a means of restarting youth work in West Lothian for both of our organisations in a manner where young people can come together and enjoy themselves in a safe environment and escape the virtual lifestyle that we have all been accustomed too throughout the pandemic. 

The event will be held at the fields in Howden Park, across from Livingston Police Station from 13:30pm till 4pm, and is open to all young people across West Lothian. 

On the day we will be offering various activities from team building skills and crafts to Foot pool and everything in between, ensuring we have something age appropriate for all.

If you are able to offer us any support in this, please get in touch.

Kind Regards 

Andrew Dalgleish

Our topic this term has been the Scottish Parliament and Democracy. We have been learning that Scotland has MSPs and that there are different political parties within Scotland. We also planned and took part in a class debate.

We have been learning about money during Maths as well as angles and scale drawing.  During Numeracy we have been doing algebra and we are now learning about the relationship between speed, distance and time.

During PE times we have been learning about the skills of basketball and we have been using the skills in mini games. We have also been learning skills for a mini pentathlon which we are taking part in.

During our Spanish time we have been learning to give information about ourselves and about the parts of the body. We have also been learning about pets.

For our enterprise we have been making Christmas signs, which we hope you will like. Watch out for your orders coming home. As part of our Christmas activities we are also hoping to make things to share with our buddies. We are looking forward to doing more on our Christmas focus and will share with you what we have been doing in our next post.
