On Friday 16th March we got 'reddy' for Sport Relief 2018, continuing our focus on "Be Kind to Others" from City of Edinburgh's "Be Resilient' Health and Wellbeing programme.
We watched two video clips showing how money raised has been used abroad and in the UK and sang the 'Step It Up" song. P7s led at the front to demonstrate dance moves and encourage everyone to sing along.
P7 Sports Captains have been selling Sport Relief wrist bands for ÂŁ1 and on Friday 23rd March pupils can wear red or sports clothes and bring a donation if they wish. P7 Emily and her friends have arranged a Bake Sale for 12pm Friday 16th March in aid of Sport Relief.
P7 Isaac gave an update on his 'Marathon in a Month' for Asthma UK with brother Reuben. Niamh, Alice, Stella and Margret shared their idea to help a new P6 group carry on their gender equality projects next year and have designed their own application forms. P6 pupils Rory, Isla, Ella and Evie reminded everyone about their Easter Egg Foodbank appeal which closes on Friday 23rd March and they will man stalls at both Parent Consultation Evenings.
What a wonderful P4/5 disco and many thanks to families and staff who came along to support.
P7 Captains congratulated P7 Lucy on her Grade 4 Musical Theatre certificate, P6 William on his First Place at the recent Edinburgh Music Competition Festival and P6 Machlan on becoming SCOTTISH boxing champion!
Hannah in P6 gave a stunning performance of Tam O'Shanter which won her the Steven Lui Cup 2018 for Burns Recitation. There were six extremely strong P6 Finalists this year and congratulations to all who took part.

Sport Relief is back from 17th to 23rd March! And we’re all going to join together – children, teachers, parents, sports stars and celebrities – for a week of epic fundraising activity.
This year’s Sport Relief is all about raising money by doing whatever moves you. So what’s your favourite sporting activity? Do you love running? Dancing? Swimming? Are you a speedy cyclist? A tennis talent? A football fan?
Whatever moves you, how could you use your sporting skills to raise money for Sport Relief? Could you get sponsored to do something for a long time? Could you organise a fun competition and ask people to pay to take part or watch?
Sport improves the lives of millions of children worldwide. It brings them together to play and have fun. It improves health and wellbeing. It helps them to learn and develop new skills.
Money raised for Sport Relief is used to fund projects in the UK and across the world that harness the power of sport for good. Let’s find out more!
Precious is an 11-year-old girl growing up in South Africa who has been helped by Sport Relief money.
Show your pupils the short film about Precious. This will help them understand how money raised for Sport Relief changes lives through sport.
Growing up in Johannesburg, South Africa, is tough. The city’s streets are dangerous and children are at risk of being kidnapped or attacked. For 11-year-old Precious, Skateistan – a skateboarding after-school programme funded by Comic Relief – has been life changing. Girls-only sessions have given her the chance to learn in a safe, supportive environment. As well as teaching her how to skate, mentors at the project have helped her make fantastic progress in her schoolwork and develop new life skills.

How do you think Precious feels when she’s walking the streets of Johannesburg?
How has learning to skateboard changed her?
How has working with the mentors at Skateistan made a difference to her life?
If you have time, show your pupils this second short film to help them understand that Sport Relief money is used to help people in the UK, as well as around the world.
Projekts MCR is another skateboarding project, this time based in Manchester, UK. Having been introduced to skateboarding in school sessions, girls move to the skatepark where they learn new skills and are trained as community reporters. With the help of Comic Relief funding, the project is tackling gender stereotypes, improving inclusion and developing girls’ key skills through skateboarding.

How has learning to skateboard helped the girls in the film?
How is Projekts MCR like Skateistan in South Africa?
Skateboarding has changed the lives of the children in the films. Has sport changed your life in any way?
Sport Relief money changes lives for the better.
You could:
Organise a Sport Relief Mile. Would you rather run, hop, skip or bounce?! How about upping the challenge and taking on three or even five miles? We could do a mile a day during Sport Relief week. Or we could set a group distance target… As a school, could we run the length of the London Underground (250 miles)? How about walking to South Africa?
Take part in Daley Challenges being set by Tom Daley every day during Sport Relief week. We’ll have chance to hula hop, skip, boogie and show off our footie skills!
If you already have plans for other fundraising activities, share them with the pupils now.How else could we raise money for Sport Relief? Would you like to do any of the activities here?
