Walk to School Week!

This week Cedars School is joining with all the other primary schools across Inverclyde to participate in Walk to School Week.

The initiative has been running for the past few years and encourages children to walk to school. It is aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle and demonstrating how dependent we can often be on our cars when in fact, walking would be just as easy, as healthier.
Obviously, in Cedars, we have pupils traveling in to school from as far away as Largs and Kilmacolm, where it would be impossible for them to walk. In these cases we would encourage you to still participate in the weeks activities through something the organisers call 'Park and Stride' where children are dropped a safe walking distance from the school and walk the rest.

We will be keeping statistics of the number of pupils who walk during this week and submitting them along with all other Inverclyde schools. The winning school receives a trophy called the 'Golden Shoe'.

We really appreciate the support of our parents and families in this venture.

Costume items for Narnia

I am aware that it has been difficult to source some of the clothing items required to go under some of the costumes for Narnia, particularly brown items. Here are some links to a few items which might be useful:

Brown long sleeved tops

Brown leggings

Brown leggings 2

Brown leggings 3

Costume fitting!

Isobel, our costume designer was in school on Friday fitting all the costumes and making notes of alterations.

Some of the dryads and naiads for Narnia were enjoying trying on their costumes and working on their dance - it is looking good!

Narnia make up!

Jacqueline and Alana, our make up artists for Narnia, were practising on the beavers and the White witch yesterday. They did a fantastic job!

Creative Cakes!

Thanks to Ellie in S1 for making an absolutely beautiful cake for the S5 pupils who are leaving school. They loved it- well done, it was very professional and tasted great!

For Narnia!!

Today we had our first rehearsal for Narnia in the Tiwn Hall. All our after school rehearsals and choir sessions are paying off and the props and costumes are looking truly amazing.

We are very excited!

Look out for our photos in the Greenock Telegraph...
