On Friday 4th October 2019, we launched our Junior Award Scheme for Schools (JASS) for P6 and P7 pupils. JASS is a Duke of Edinburgh style award for 10-14 year olds and stemmed from an original idea by Sciennes staff! Today it is an international programme, recognising young people's personal achievements. Pupils can gain Bronze in P6 and Silver in P7 (with Gold achievable by the end of S2). All our pupils attending Lagganlia next week will gain accreditation for one quarter of the award, the 'Adventure' element. P7A Lauder pupils shared their memories of Benmore and what they are looking forward to at Lagganlia. P3 pupils gave a presentation on their Harvest Appeal for Foodbank and reminded everyone that donations can be handed in to Class Teachers until Friday 11th October. P3 pupils will come and collect. Local Minister Stuart Irvin from St Catherine's of Argyll and a representative from Foodbank will join us for a Harvest Assembly next Friday. Elika in P5 shared her amazing experience at the launch of the Sir David Attenborough Polar Research Vessel and P7 Rebecca announced this year's ECO Reps. It was a very difficult choice with over 150 out of 375 pupils showing interest in the 12 P4-P7 places. An indication of how important environmental issues are to our young people. Congratulations to Elizabeth who retains her World Stone Skimming Champion title and to all the girls who performed in an amazing ballet production of Cinderella by the Grange School of Ballet at the Churchill Theatre. P7A Lauder pupils led the singing superbly this week!

27. Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah
Hello Muddah, hello Faddah
Here I am at Camp Grenada
Camp is very entertaining
And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining
I went hiking with Joe Spivey
He developed poison ivy
You remember Leonard Skinner
He got Ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner

28. Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah
All the counsellors hate the waiters
And the lake has alligators
And the head coach wants no sissies
So he reads to us from something called Ulysses
Now I don't want this should scare ya'
But my bunkmate has Malaria
You remember Jeffery Hardy
They're about to organize a searching party

29. Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah
Take me home, oh Muddah, Faddah
Take me home, I hate Grenada
Don't leave me out in the forest where
I might get eaten by a bear
Take me home, I promise I will
Not make noise, or mess the house with
Other boys, oh please don't make me stay
I've been here one whole day

30. Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah
Dearest Fadduh, Darling Muddah
How's my precious little bruddah
Let me come home if you miss me
I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me
Wait a minute, it's stopped hailing
Guys are swimming, guys are sailing
Playing baseball, gee that's bettah
Muddah, Faddah kindly disregard this letter
