It is a working document and comments and suggestions are gratefully received. A big thank you to the School Travel Team for all their work on putting this together, handling the questionnaires and analysing the results. A hard copy is available at the front of the school - please ask if you would like to see it.It is great to see so many children walking or cycling to school at the moment. October is Walk to School month and all the children have individual diaries and sticker charts to record how they are getting to school. The Junior Road Safety Officers are currently running competitions for the classes on how to keep safe now that the days are getting shorter.

We have lots to celebrate today. This morning Lisa and Alex from P6 won the Dunbar round of the Little and Large Cooking Competition at Dunbar Grammar School. They are now in the final which will be held next week at Knox Academy. They cooked a pasta main course followed by banana muffins.
This afternoon all of P7 went to Meadowbank to the Inter-Schools athletics competition - some to compete and others to support the team. We were the defending champions and had a lot to live up to, but we managed a very good third place. We had a lot of excellent sporting performances and a nail-biting finish to the relay final. Congratulations to Fionn for his great long jump effort -streets ahead of the competition!
Whole school goes skipping mad May 16, 2008
Posted by elps in : Health , 1 comment so far As our events for Health Week came to an end, the whole school took part in a Skipathon in aid of the British Heart Foundation. We started off in assembly this morning and then groups of children skipped continuously for three hours. We were fortunate with the weather and at the end of the morning the whole school (including the grown ups) came out and joined in the fun. Thanks to Emma, our Active Schools Co-ordinator for helping with our activities this week.These are some of the photos we took:
