International Education Week 2011

In international week this year we are celebrating the diversity of people, places and cultures around the world. We will also highlight Fair Trade as an alternative to world trade.

1st March 2011 The whole school have had a chance to take part in a Street Jammin workshop which was great fun..

We have lots of interesting things planned. We look forward to a Drumming session on Thursday. We will also learn more about Fair Trade and the life of a cocoa farmer in ghana.

The Primary 5, 6 and 7’s will have a Fairtrade workshop on Thursday led by the Achievers International Links Group..

P2 and P3 are holding a toy swap in aid of our link school in Peru.

P7 are running a French Cafe for parents and pupils. Miss McVicar has lots of fair-trade items for sale and children can sample goodies from the fair-trade tuck shop.

There are lots of exciting lessons happening in class too. It’s a pity Angus isn’t here to enjoy it , but he is busy with his real life tour in Asia. Luckily his cousin Hamish is visiting us just now and will accompany Mrs Boyiatjis when she visits the P1 classes on Friday to tell the children all about Angus and his travels.
