The Eco School Committee came up with the idea of having a 'fitness and fun' day last year and were very excited when we put a date in the School diary and could start planning it.
We decided to think of different physical activities for each year group - something we did not do at PE. We also wanted to have stalls selling Christmas cards and decorations using recycled materials and Christmas baking. Every class was involved in making something to sell.
At last Friday 3 December arrived. Everyone who paid £1 come to school looking very festive, wearing green, red and 'sparkles'. Throughout the day a variety of different 'fitness-themed' classes took place - obstacle courses with Mr McLeod, line dancing with Miss McNaught, circuits with Mr West, Zumba with Miss McKay, and Bollywood workshops for Primary 7.
During lunchtime, the Eco Committee and their helpers set up the Christmas stalls. Tasty Rudolf cakes, delicious truffles, cupcakes, mints and savoury popcorn were snapped up, as were the beautifully made Christmas cards and decorations.
Everyone had a great day and the £788.62 raised will be shared between the School charity, Action for Children, and the Eco School fund.
The Eco Committee would like to thank everyone for their support and help. Merry Christmas!
