Fife is one of Scotland’s largest Local Education Authorities and Balmullo Primary School was only the second School in Fife to join the Get Set Network. Located just a few miles from St Andrews, one of the Olympic torch relay sites, everyone at the School is starting to get excited about London 2012. Sophie Land is a Primary 7 pupil at the school and one of the Scottish regional winners of the Inspire>Aspire Values Posters Awards. By taking part in Inspire>Aspire, the school has been able to take an in-depth look at the values behind the Olympic and Paralympic Games.“The Inspire>Aspire posters have been a Launchpad for the school to really get into all the fantastic learning opportunities for the children in the run up to London 2012. The Olympic and Paralympic values help us to develop core aspects of the curriculum and key themes like global citizenship and rights respecting schools. We are thrilled at becoming a Get Set Network School and are now busy making plans for how we can make the most of the learning opportunities as well as enhance physical activity at the school. We are also really looking forward to Sophie being presented her award by an Olympic athlete”.
