They have been working with Rob from RADS and having some sponsored football. This, however, is football with difference. The children have made their own footballs. This is just as our friends in Uganda would do.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to making their own footballs, the children have also participated in some literacy work where they have explained what they did to make and test and use their footballs. The young lady who came to see me had produced a beautiful piece of writing which she had, also, beautifully illustrated and she carried with her her homemade ball. She was very eager to talk to me about everything the class had been doing and I was delighted to find out about what she and her\u00a0classmates had been up to.<\/p>\n<p class=\"jetpack-slideshow-noscript robots-nocontent\">This slideshow requires JavaScript.<\/p><div id=\"gallery-5176-1-slideshow\" class=\"jetpack-slideshow-window jetpack-slideshow jetpack-slideshow-black\" data-trans=\"fade\" data-autostart=\"1\" data-gallery=\"[{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/riverbank.aberdeen.sch.uk\\\/blogs\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/03\\\/IMG_2289-e1490911905410.jpg?fit=480%2C639\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;5179&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2289&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;My Primary 2C young lady shows off her writing and her homemade football.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/riverbank.aberdeen.sch.uk\\\/blogs\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/03\\\/IMG_2288-e1490913336282.jpg?fit=639%2C480\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;5178&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2288&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;The writing and illustrations were lovely.
