So Much to Learn...So Little Time

Giving the Boot to Poverty

Just before we broke up for the summer the Citizenship group at school organised and hosted a special event at school.
It was essentially a potted sports event, with a wellie theme, mixed with poverty awareness raising tasks and it involved TGS plus two feeder primaries (Rhynie and Gordon primaries.) The event's aims were many-fold:

• to raise awareness of issues related to poverty both here in Scotland and in developing nations
• to highlight the importance of physical activity and healthy diet
• to act as a way for the new S1 intake to interact with there peers already in secondary.

Give Poverty the Boot involved a huge amout of cross cluster co-operation and a great deal of help from TGS senior pupils.
AND here's the result.

My Question to the Cabinet Secretary

SETT - Media centre - Video and audio

I really don't know what came over me on Wednesday. Starstruck maybe! But if you go to minute 68 you get to my question, which I kind of fluffed, but recovered in the end.
Typical politicians answer though.

SLF 2008

Well my first visit to SLF is well underway. My delegates bag is chock full of giveaways and my brain is fizzing. God knows what it'll be like by the time I get to my first TeachMeet.

I attended the Cabinet Minister's address which was interesting and am now about to listen to Richard Teese.
