We had the pleasure of a visit from Gerald from the Munro Madnezz Bhoys Challenge this morning. He told us all about the 282 Munros in Scotland (there used to be 283 but one shrunk (!) and is no longer counted as a Munro!). They are named after Sir Hugh Munro who discovered and categorised them all – though he didn’t climb them all. Gerald has climbed many of these
On Monday 7th September, P5-7 joined lots of other pupils from local schools to participate in an event run by Triathlon Scotland. The children had lots of fun swimming, cycling and running. It was a great taster session to get a feel of what a triathlon involves – but on a mini scale! Well done to everyone involved – the pupils had a great time!
Today P2-4 had great fun measuring outside. They worked in small groups and recorded their results on their clipboard. Each group worked out how many giant steps, fairy steps and how long a people chain they needed to measure from one part of the playground to the other. But everybody was ending up with different answers! There had to be a solution… Then we came up with the answer –
All pupils enjoyed a taster session of Pilates, organised by Active schools and delivered by Lorna Mc Kay. Pupils (and staff) enjoyed bending and stretching in the gym hall and trying to improve their flexibility.

Primary p5-7 from Leswalt, joined up with pupils from their partnership school of Portpatrick, and pupils from Sheuchan to rehearse and perform “Warriors!” .
