On Saturday the 1st of December, Islay boys went to Lochgilpead to play a tournament. They played a lot of teams and they all got split into different pitches. Islay boys tried their hardest to win but they said “It doesn’t really matter, as long as we try our hardest.” A lot of people shouted at Islay boys and the coatches were very helpful they enjoyed helping the Islay boys team. The coaches wanted to make Islay boys footballers better, that’s why they had the tournament. At the end of a match they had to shake each others hands so they know they all had a good game and it showed respect to the other team. Lochgilphead had won the tournament. by James and Alicia
St Andrews Ceilidh
On Thursday 29th November 2012 a St Andrews ceilidh/presentation was held at Port Ellen Primary School and was run by P3-5. This ceilidh was held because P3-5 were doing a Scotland topic and it was almost St Andrews day.
Parents, Grandparents, aunts and uncles were invited along with some special guests- Eilidh McMillan on the accordion; Maisie Logan on the tin whistle; Emily Logan, Anwen Baker, Natalie Logan and Abbie Morris highland dancing AND Nigel Morris on the pipes. There was also lots of electronic Scottish quizzes testing your Scottish knowledge, an AMAZING 3D map of Scotland, both made by p5. The 3D map had many famous landmarks. Not only was there entertainment ,like Country Dancing. There was also a lot of Scottish baking including:haggis sausage rolls,shortbread, scones and some beautiful dumpling made by Oliver’s gran.
Over all the ceilidh was a huge success. Every on involved should be extremely proud of themselves.
Sport’s Leadership with Mrs Ramsey
In school we have been learning sports leadership with Mrs Ramsey for P.E.
Every mondayfor the past 5 weeks p6/7 have been doing sport’s leadership with Mrs Ramsay. Some of the weeks they were talking and other weeks they were teaching p1/2’s games they made in there groups. One of the group’s games was an obstacle course and another group’s game was dodge-ball with a twist so every time you got hit by the ball you would lose an arm or a leg.
They were doing this so that we would gain new skills that we didn’t have.They learnt a few good things like don’t make it too complicated, don’t be scared to shout and don’t think there amazing at everything.Mrs Ramsay gave us feedback every week they finished our games with the p1/2’s.
They have enjoyed the past 5 weeks with Mrs Ramsay and we hope to do more tasks with her.
