Visit to the Gym

We are learning all about ourselves and keeping healthy. We will be looking at lots of different Health and Wellbeing experiences and outcomes from Curriculum for Excellence. We will be visiting different places in Dundee which can help us keep healthy. In the Active Learning Zone we will be setting up our own gym. We were very lucky because Ms Connor goes to Energie Fitness Clubs in Main Street and she organised for us to visit to see what it looks like in a gym.

We had to walk to to Main street and used all the things we learned during Walkwise lessons to help us. When were in the Gym P1a2 had Joe to help us and P1a1 had Craig to show us round. We saw reception, a small gym, the sauna and steam room, the big gym and the room with all the mirrors where they do classes. We were allowed to try out some of the machines and we took lots of pictures with the digital camera and lots of videos with the flip cam. We took a clip board and pencils and wrote down lots of things we saw to give us ideas on what we will put in our own gym.

When we were back in school we looked at all our photos and videos and made a list of all the things we would like to put in our Gym. Next week we will start to get our gym ready to work in. We have decided we will have a reception area and we will think about the exercises we can do in our gym because it won’t be big enough for lots a machines like Energie!

A big thank you to everyone at Energie Fitness Clubs for all their help.
