P5-7 Blaze Basketball Fri 19th December



Sarah Murphy from Blaze Basketball has invited Sciennes P5-P7 pupils to the Crags on Friday 19th December 1.30-4.00pm for a Basketball Game Day. Cost £2.00.

Below is a post from Blaze's website on 2nd December about the growing success of Girls' Basketball in the South Central Area:

Blaze Girls Basketball Beginning to Burn Bright

Blaze Girls Basketball Beginning to Burn Brightly

This weekend was great for Blaze Basketball Club. The newly formed under 12 and under 14 Blaze Girls Clubs showed up in numbers to play.

On Friday evening The Crags hosted the first ever girls only fixtures in the South Central Primary School Basketball League. There were four Girls teams overall, which included a mix of St Peters, Sciennes Primary School and Blaze Under 12 Development Girls.

Under 12 and 14 Girls coach Sarah Murphy spoke of her joy at seeing so many girls come get involved in the League.

‘It was great to see the girls come along and give it a try today. For many of them it was their first ever competitive match, but everyone did really well. There was examples of really good sportsmanship, teamwork and a high level of energy from start to finish. All the girls that came along today definitely have what it takes to have a great future in basketball and there is a lot of potential in the South Central Area.’


P7 EPSSA BASKETBALL 
P7 Basketball Club players (6 girls and 6 boys) will receive a letter next week inviting them to participate in an Edinburgh Primary Schools Sports Association (EPSSA) Basketball Tournament at Meadowbank on Monday 12th January 10am-12pm. The success of Sarah and Eoghann's lunchtime Basketball clubs for girls has enabled us to enter the competition for the first time in many years, since rules dictate that at least five girls must form the team and previously we did not have sufficient numbers of girls keen to participate. Thank you to Ms Anstruther for suggesting a Girls' Basketball Club and thank you Sarah and Eoghann!

Dear Parent/Guardian,                                                                                                                                  August 2014

A warm welcome back to Sciennes Primary, I hope you all enjoyed an excellent Holiday period!

Once again all staff and I have worked together to produce this term’s range of activities. The Overviews, containing all club details, can be accessed via my extra curricular blog on our website; www.sciennes.edin.sch.uk

On the reverse of this letter is a list of all clubs at Sciennes Primary and at various venues across the neighbourhood.

All clubs continue to be paid for through our schools on-line WISEPAY system.

Numbers on each club are limited. Once this limit is reached payments will NO LONGER be accepted. Please access the system ASAP to ensure your child attains a place.

If your child is interested to attend, please;

Access our on line WISEPAY System through www.sciennes.edin.sch.uk

Login with your Username and Password and select Tickets and Events.

Select and pay for your chosen clubs, remembering to tick to agree consent.


Every attempt will be made to inform children and parents/carers in advance when a club has been cancelled. However, occasionally cancellations happen at the last minute; you will be notified by Text Message, please therefore, if possible, provide a mobile number when completing your child’s EE2 form this year.

The school and I would like to take this opportunity to thank parents, teachers, tutors and volunteers who put so much time and effort into organising the sports and clubs for the children. Without them these activities would not take place.   

Kind regards,

Jonathan Wallace
