Tennis Beginners

We have more exciting events to share from our busy Health Week. On Tuesday the morning children enjoyed a session with Mike, the tennis coach, who provided lots of fun activities to help the children learn control of a tennis ball. As you can see, we had coats on and fastened up, as it was quite a chilly day, but everyone listened well and tried their very best with all the different games.
Mike told us that, once the work on Annan tennis courts is complete, there may be classes for younger children so we hope that these children have enjoyed their experience and may want to take part in these classes in the future. Even Andy Murray started at the beginning so who knows what potential our children may have?

Zumba Moves

Noah’s family has been looking at the photos of our Health Week:

“Noah really enjoyed the Zumba and was still doing the moves when we left school!”  Well done Noah for remembering the moves! That will please Mrs. Menzies.

He also loved the medal he got on our Fun Activity Day for all his hard work:

“Awh! Noah was so proud that he got a ‘model’!”

We were very proud of all the children for showing such enthusiasm and confidence that day. We love that Noah liked his ‘model’!

Zumba

Zumba was our Health Week taster activity on Monday afternoon and the children thoroughly enjoyed their session with Mrs. Menzies. Most listened very well and were able to make a good attempt to follow her moves. Thank you to Mrs. Menzies for all your hard work and patience. We think that you must have been very tired doing zumba all day – some of the children were tired after just one session.

Fun in the Sun

It seemed too good to be true that the sun decided to shine on our Fun Activity Day, after a rather wet start to Health Week, but we were very grateful for the lucky weather. Thank you so much to all family and friends who took the time to cheer on the children today, as well as the buddies of Primary 6 who were great helpers and supporters of the children both morning and afternoon.
We are sure that, like us, you felt very proud of them all as they confidently showed off their skills and great teamwork. We managed to capture photos of some of the children with those well deserved medals and an ice lolly finished off our day nicely. We hope that you enjoyed the day as much as we did. Well done boys and girls – you really showed yourselves to be ‘confident individuals’.

Fun Activity Day

The children have been practising their running and jumping skills to prepare for our Fun Activity Day tomorrow (Wednesday). They have grown in confidence, shown good teamwork and had great fun. We are looking forward to lots of families and friends cheering the children on as they show you what they can do. We hope to bring them on to the field around 9.30 and 2.00 when they will start moving round their activities.
It is quite tricky to get photos of the children practising their activities as they move so quickly but here is a taster of what they will be doing on our Fun Activity Day. We hope that the children remember how to do their activities as they have not had the opportunity to practise since Thursday due to inclement weather. Fingers crossed that the sun decides to shine tomorrow.

Great Fun

Isaac’s family has been looking at the photos of the morning children taking part in the Ankle Biters activity:

“Isaac had a great time “doing sporty things” in the hall today.”

We’re glad that you had fun Isaac. All the children seemed to enjoy themselves yesterday and we had more activities today. We are going to be so fit and healthy by the end of the week.

Ankle Biters

The start of Health Week did not exactly bring great weather for outdoor activities but, not to be outdone by a bit of rain, our session with Ankle Biters went ahead this morning in the dining hall. As you can see, the children still had great fun learning basic rugby skills so thank you to the ladies who organised the activities. More fun learning will be happening as the week progresses.
