Mr Howie led our P4-7 Assembly on Friday 11th March, cleverly linking recent learning in P6 Jacobites, P5 Old Edinburgh, World Book Day and International Women's Day with Rights Education in his tale of the mightily impressive Victorian philanthropist Angela Burdett-Coutts. Mr Howie encouraged everyone to keep thinking about how we can each make a difference and praised Alex and Rory for their initiative in organising a Foodbank Easter Egg campaign. Sport Relief is on Friday 18th March and our P7 Sports Captains demonstrated Out of the Ark's "Step It Up" Sport Relief dance They informed pupils about local Run, Cycle, Swim events next weekend and invited pupils to dress up next week in sports gear or P.E. kit on Friday. They will collect any donations on the day.
