This session a group of parents supported by Active Stirling have volunteered to run two after school sports clubs. TOP Play will be on a Wednesday 3.15-4pm for pupils in P1-P3 and TOP sport will be on a Monday 3.15-4.15pm and will be open to pupils in P4-P7. Both clubs will give children the opportunity to try a range of sporting activities over the course of the year.
Many thanks to all the parents who have organized after school activities over the years and to those who have already volunteered to continue helping. More volunteers are always welcome. Parents who cannot commit to a whole year but who would be willing to help for a block of time or on a relief basis would also be very welcome. Training, support and Disclosure Scotland Checks are all organized by Active Stirling.
TOP play [P1-P3] will start on Wednesday 8th September
TOP Sport [P4-P7] will start on Monday 13th September

Meet the teacher evening- 1st September 2010 at 6.30pm in St Mary’s Church Hall. On the 20th August, Mrs Currie, Niamh, Catriona and Jack are going to the Parliament for the Festival of Politics – Hear Me! at Holyrood, Edinburgh. They are going to be in a session in which Tam Baillie will be there – Tam Baillie is the Scottish Children and Young Person’s Commissioner. We are getting there in Mrs Currie’s COOL BLUE van! We have to bring a packed lunch as we will be there from 12:00pm until 4:00pm. By Niamh & Catriona Last night was the St. Marys EPS Annual Prize Giving 2010! First all the book prizes were given out by Mrs Greer; the Director of Education for Stirling Council. Well done everyone who got one! Then the Primary 7’s read out their memories. Some were sad; some were funny, some were touching, but they were all really interesting and everyone enjoyed listening to them. After that the Primary 7’s got called up again to be given a French Dictionary as a gift from the PSA by Mr Thompson the PSA chairman Thanks to them for that, on behalf of all of us. They will be very useful at High School. Then the P 7’s got called up again to be given the big prizes of cups, medals and book tokens. Unfortunately we only got to keep the cups for one night and had to give them back today, but we get to keep the medals and book tokens, and the cups have our names engraved on them, so no one can ever forget we won them. Even if they want to! Then we stayed up while Kimberly gave a blessing, and then we rounded the whole thing off by singing End of the Road. I think even Mrs Hewitt was crying! By Louise
A few weeks ago The P4-7s had their school show. It was all about four people going for their first job interview remembering when it was their:
Everyone who wanted a part got one even though it meant the teachers had to make up some. Everyone enjoyed it and some P1/2/3s saw it 3 times. By Kirsty P7

The Primary sevens made our way up to the High School where we met up with the other schools in the Dunblane Cluster. Active Stirling were in charge of organizing the event although the High School staff were involved too. The stations were activities like:
We also had a question to answer after every station and the team who won earned points for their group. We then had a quick snack whilst we were given a talk about what kind of activities were on offer at the High School when we get up there. Afterwards we split into teams of boys and girls. We found our name on a piece of paper on the wall and that was the team we were in for the next part of the morning. Whilst the boys were outside on the Astroturf playing football the girls stayed indoors to play basketball. We were playing for our houses and the points will be added to our house when we are in S1. We then swapped round and the boys came inside to play basketball and the girls went outside to play hockey. We arrived back at school just when everyone was going in after break and sat outside to eat our lunch before going back inside to end the school day as normal. Everyone enjoyed themselves and had great fun getting to know more people from their class for after the summer. by Kirsty
In May and June Mr Holmes and Mrs Tullis ran cycling proficiency classes after school on a Thursday night for pupils in Primary Six and Seven. The lessons were lots of fun and the children learned lots about how to cycle safely. On the 3rd of June we had a cycle morning. The people that came where from sustainable Dunblane and they were checking our bikes so they would be safe to ride to school. We had race but not any old race you had to go as slow as you can and you cannot put your feet down. He checked our brakes and tyre pressures and our seat height. We all had a great time. By Hamish
At the last tops club there was a hockey match with the parents and the children. There were 2 children teams and 1 adult team. They started with the two childrens teams playing against each other one team bib the other not. The bib team (winning team) played the adults and then the bib team played the adults. The parents were very impressed the adults lost both their matches and so came last and the bib team came 1st and the no bib team came 2nd. Archie’s favourite bit was playing the adults because they beat them. The children at tops club are very grateful for the leaders who have run tops club and have had a lot of fun during tops club. We wouldn’t have had as much fun with out you By Kirsty H P7 and Archie P2 The track and field event was held on the 2nd June, at Stirling University’s track and field. The primary sevens went along, accompanied by two of the primary sixes to complete the boy’s team. Previously we had held races to see who was the best competitor in the different categories, the results had shown that two primary six boys had to fill in to make up a team, and three primary seven girls made up our cheerleading team. Unfortunately the day before event Sophie H was not able to participate. Therefore we brought in Pearl as our substitute so that we had the right amount of runners. We arrived by mini-bus at the University and set up the parasol that Mrs. Hewitt had kindly lent us. It was very useful in the heat and the other schools kept giving us jealous looks. We had to wait for about half an hour before there was any action on our behalf. Then the races began. We entered javelin, 80 metre sprint, 100 metre sprint, 600 metre sprint and the long jump. We had to have a boy’s team and a girl’s team. We entered the races knowing that, being one of the smallest schools out of the 24 that entered, there was a slim chance that we would come out on top. We tried our best and in the end although we didn’t receive any medals we all did really well in our heats. The boys relay team came third, Sophie R-K came second in the 600m, Alice and Dugal came ninth and second respectively in the javelin, Rachel came first in the 150m, Pearl came fourth 80m, Jamie came fourth in the 800m, The girls relay team were fourth and Josh and Louise did very well in the long jump. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and had a great time By Rachel
