We
went back to the park on Tuesday 8th September to take part in the
second welcome walk. Between the two global citizenship classes came together
and organised this year’s welcome walk. Lots of the
school not only just took part in the walk most of us dressed up we had where’s
Wally, hula people, Scooby doo, minions and many more. This year we made a
welcome walk twitter page so people in the classes before taking part in the
walk could see the things that were happening in the park.
At
lunch time just before the walk the two groups headed out to the park and
marked the route for the pupils to walk and we couldn’t do by foot. So this
called for Mr. McGukin, Mr. Clunie and Mr. Currie to get out the golf buggies
and take us around the park putting out chairs, cone which me and Mr. Currie
made a mess of it but oh well also we had to tape signs to the chairs with
arrows and number for everyone to walk the right route around the park and back
into the school.
Once
that all was done everyone took to their posts and waited for the bagpipes and
the drums to start playing from the schools race track to tell us that the walk
has started. I Myself Laura and Rachel had to dance to keep warm throughout the
whole walk as it was freezing cold but still it entertained the people who
walked past us as two of us were dressed as Wally. We heard a lot of “oh I have
found Wally” which got old after a while. The walk raised near to £12,000 for
the Welcome school which is amazing and I know it helps as I went to Cape Town
last year and what we took over made them smile and now with the money we have
just raised they now have computer which is amazing and it just goes to show
that doing something so simple as walking can make such a difference to people
in other countries and different life styles.
