  Fancy a run in the Woods? 

  Over the next two days your Outdoor Learning Service is hosting Primary and Secondary Orienteering Competitions at John Muir Country Park.

  

  You, yes you, are invited to come down and join in on Friday anytime between 1100 and 1400. The course is a Score Orienteering course and will take no longer than half an hour. You are required to visit as many controls (particular points in the woods) as possible within half an hour. Come on down and challenge your colleagues or just enjoy a Friday lunchtime strolling through John Muir Country Park with a purpose.

  There is no cost for entering the event, however if you wish you may make a donation towards a local Outdoor charity -Beyond Boundaries East Lothian.

  Come along to John Muir Country Park near Dunbar and look for the Outdoor Learning flags in the car park – brief instruction will be given. Enjoy the end of the week with a quick run (or walk) around one of East Lothian’s gems.

  Any queries concerning this event please e-mail Martyn (mpegg@eastlothian.gov.uk)

  Waverley Care – World AIDS Day – December 1st 2010 – Schools and Youth Resources 

  Waverley Care have produced excellent resource sheets that meet some of the learning outcomes within the Health and Wellbeing area of Curriculum for Excellence: http://www.waverleycare.org
  Schools and Youth Resources

  World AIDS Day provides an important focus for Waverley Care to engage with schools and youth organisations to raise awareness of HIV. The aim of this work is to minimise onward transmission and break down barriers of stigma and discrimination.

  For 2010 we have developed a range of resources, all of which can be downloaded. Using true life experiences of people who are living with or affected by HIV in Scotland, these resources challenge misconceptions about HIV and encourage young people to think through the impact of stigma and discrimination on people’s lives.

  To download stories of Emma and Nomusa, two people who are living with HIV, click here.

  To download a discussion amongst young people, in the form of an internet forum, click here.

  To download some facts and statistics, including suggestions for further research, click here.

  To download a fundraising ideas sheet, click here.

  To download a fundraising resources order form, click here.

  Every year, we need to raise £380,000 to enable us to provide our services to people who are living with HIV and Hepatitis C in Scotland. A fundraising ideas sheet is included in the downloadable material. We hope that, as well as using our free resources, you will want to help us continue to provide that support.
  To help you with your fundraising, we can provide our unique tartan HIV awareness ribbons, which can be sold or given in return for a donation. Please download our order form above or contact Karen Docwra on 0131 556 9710 or email fund@waverleycare.org .

  Design My Break Competition 

  Welcome to the future. This is a chance for young people at your school to create lasting change for the better. Just like the Olympic and Paralympic Games, this initiative is about going for gold.
  GE’s Design My Break initiative is a unique opportunity for young people to come up with their own ground-breaking ideas for the midday break, to make it a real highlight of the school day and unlock its full potential.

  We are looking for big ideas that will supercharge the midday break by boosting emotional well-being as well as encouraging healthy eating and physical activity.

  This is a chance for your students, aged 11-14, to come up with pioneering ideas that transform the midday break at your school. This could radically change young people’s school experience for the better and help your school too.
