A note from the Games Parliament…

At our first Games Parliament meeting we felt that it would be a good idea totry and organise activities at break or lunch times for any of the P1s, P2s andP3s who would be interested.

To try and find out which activities would be popular, the Games Parliament willbe sending questionnaires to all your classes to ask what you think.

Once we get all the questionnaires back we will discuss this at the next GPmeeting.

If you ever want to pass on playground ideas to the Games Parliament pleasespeak to any GP reps or Mr Balfour.
