The document discusses how sports can play a central role in the relationship between fathers and their sons. It describes how watching and participating in sports together can help bond them, especially during the teenage years when communication can be difficult. The father is able to introduce his son to sports from a young age, support him by attending his games, and pass on his love of sports through shared experiences that last a lifetime.
Being in love can be a wonderful experience, but how can you tell if it's really love?
What follows are just 12 of the ways to help you find out for sure.
On Friday 13th January we learned about the life of Dr Martin Luther King Junior and how his peaceful actions and brave dedication to equal rights for all led to change. We asked pupils what they could do in 2017 to make change happen and make a difference for others. P7 pupil Nicky raised almost £500 with his Save the Children Christmas Jumper campaign and P6 pupil Catherine spoke at Assembly to explain how she is being sponsored to donate a length of hair to the Little Princess Trust to help a child suffering hair loss due to cancer treatment.
We celebrated Sciennes' parent, Mr Colin Sim, who took action to make a huge difference to learning and teaching for our pupils by submitting two grant funding applications for the school. One to Aviva Life Assurance was awarded £500 and one to the OneFamily Foundation was awarded an incredible £5000! Thank you to all the Sciennes Family for voting. The money will be used to purchase a year group set of iPads.
On Friday 4th May we continued with our current HWB topic 'Take A Moment' from City of Edinburgh's 'Be Resilient' programme. We reminded pupils of key messages and practised the Fischy Music song "Bad Times Won't Last" in the lead up to our whole school Mental Health Week 14th-18th May. (Please look out for Flyers from Ms Anstruther and the Parent Council Health and Wellbeing and Communications Groups that were sent home in schoolbags on Friday.)
At next week's Assembly, pupils have been invited to share strategies they use to cope with life's ups and downs.
The Gender Equality Group explained the 'UN Day of the Girl' and shared their own inspirational female role models. We have been fortunate to discover from their surveys and campaigns that Sciennes' pupils are very gender neutral in their outlook. The group responded to concerns that have been raised by some of our P7 boys that they were creating an imbalance by focusing on female equality issues. Rather, their intention is to raise awareness of global inequalities that exist beyond our school gates. Also in response to concerns raised, the group of four P7 girls designed their own application forms, interviewed 10 out of more that 50 P6 applications to continue their work next year and sought to appoint two boys and two girls. The new pupils were introduced at Assembly and were articulate in explaining why they had applied to join.
P6 and P7 pupils have been asked to 'Take A Moment' to reflect on all their achievements this year in order to complete their Bronze and Silver Award applications in eJASS (Junior Award Scheme for Schools. They have also been asked to give a five minute talk to their classmates on how they achieved the award by the end of May. FoTA (Friends of the Duke of Edinburgh Award) have contacted recently to invite selected Sciennes' pupils to contribute to a Case Study in early June and there may be press interest.
Pupils were reminded school is closed on Monday and Tuesday. P5 pupils should bring PE kit to wear underneath costumes at their Scottish Opera performance on Wednesday 9th May at 2.15pm in the Hall.

1. There are things in life that bond fathers and their children together outside of
the love and bloodlines they share. Sports have always played a central role in
countless relationships, bringing so many fathers closer to their children,
particularly when the normal lines of communication start to garble during the
teenage years.
You remember that time, right? Those wonderful, zany years that took you from
junior high through high school when you thought you knew everything about
the world? Those years when dad would ask you how school was going, which

2. you usually answered with a grunt. Those years when a perfectly logical “where
are you going?” was met with a loud sigh, a smart-ass response and an ensuing
argument that mom needed to interfere in.
But those years also included watching sports together, simultaneously
complaining, cheering and marveling at a long home run or a game-winning
touchdown. The tension and uneasiness that was a constant fog over your
relationship would lift, even for just a few minutes, as you both bonded over the
one — and possibly only — thing a 15-year-old and a 46-year-old could agree
on.
It wasn’t always that way, of course. When you were a little boy, he introduced
you to sports by putting a bat and ball in your hands when you could barely
walk. He pitched to you and played catch in the front yard, chasing ball after
ball while you stood there and laughed until he was ready to throw again.
He came to every single sporting event you participated in, work permitting. Oh
sure, you’d get embarrassed when you’d hear his voice rise over the other
parents.
“Come on, easy swing babe!”
“Atta boy, make him work!”
And although you knew he wasn’t trying to embarrass you, it still made you roll
your eyes and utter a sheepish “yep” when a player on the opposing team
would ask, “is that your dad?”
But even you couldn’t help but be thrilled he was there when you swatted that
first home run over the left field fence. You didn’t thank him for being there, but
you were so glad he was.
Then there are the professional sporting events he took you too. The games
that jumpstarted a love affair with professional sports that lasts to this day and
is being handed down to his grandson. Now you try and do what he did for you.
You explain the nuances of a sport to your two-year-old son, who may
understand more than you think. Then again, he may not.
But he will, because your dad helped you to understand.

3. You’ll play catch with your son and chase ball after ball because it’s what your
dad did for you more than three decades ago. You’ll sit in the bleachers and
cheer for him when he does something right and explain to him how he can
improve when he fails.
Which he will.
You’ll watch him grow from a little boy to a teenager. He won’t appreciate your
compliments or criticisms, however fatherly they may be. He’ll start ignoring
you, then act like a know-it-all and become more interested in girls than in
who’s winning the game.
That’s when you’ll realize what your dad went through. You’ll understand that
he only wanted to know what was going on in your life because you wouldn’t let
him in to see it. He wanted to chase those balls down the street again while you
laughed like the innocent child you were.
He didn’t want you to grow up, yet he couldn’t be prouder that you were.
And just when it seems like things are at their darkest, sports will be there to
lend a helping hand. Athletics didn’t have everything to do with smoothing out
the rough patches, but it played a large part and it certainly was a lifeline when
the two of you needed it most.
Or should I say when my father and I needed it most.
Thanks dad, Happy Father’s Day and just so you know, I’m never too old for a
catch…
