All the schools in Highland are trying to become Health Promoting Schools to improve the schools health. We have a Sports Club on Wednesday to keep us all fit. It includes sports like, football, rugby and hockey.

In the classroom we learn about mental and social health, which is also healthy even though it is not physical. The schools in Badenoch and Strathspey are doing a challenge to win Gold, Silver and Bronze awards for the amount of litter per pupil collect and recycle at home or at school. Also about once or twice a year we go lifter picking to keep the community healthy and clean. We have a wheel of responsibilities which keeps us happy and healthy.

                         

Playground Friends, which is one of the jobs, makes sure that nobody is left out. Friends make us happy and healthy! We play together outside in the playground with all our friends at lunch and breaktime. We have a box of toys and some game cards. We also play Catchy, so you’re never bored at Gergask. Looking after the birds is social health and is another one or the duties on the wheel of responsibilities. We have to feed the birds by putting bird seed into the bird feeders when there is no more bird seed left in them. We have got water bottles in our classroom now. You can drink the right amount of water according to your weight, which is another way to be healthy. We have different teachers in the classroom through the week for different subjects, such as, art, music, R.M.E., P.E. and sometimes drama.
