As part of learning in P.E Primary 3 pupils have been developing their skills in gymnastics with Mrs Gray and Mrs Dunlop. The children have been working on developing their rolls, balances, jumps and climbing techniques. Children demonstrated some high quality skills and provided feedback to peers throughout the lessons to help each other improve their work.
Some pupils from P5 and P6 are developing their skills as cheerleaders at an after school club with our Active Schools Co-ordinator Amy Niven. Whilst learning different dance techniques and routines, pupils are also keeping fit and active.
An after school session was held today for P4 and P5 pupils to develop their cycling skills. Katie from ibike organised and supported the school with this event. Pupils developed their basic cycling techniques, braking, balance and control. Well done to everyone who took part.

Viking Visit
P3/4 go back in time with the Vikings!
Exclusive By Riley Porter
Last Thursday P3/4 had an exciting Viking visit. When we opened the door we were met by funny Vikings. Some of us got to dress up as people in the story Simon told us. He also told us about lifestyle in Viking times. A corner of the classroom was turned into a Viking home. Later on we pretended to row a long ship to raid other countries. Mrs Anderson split the class into three groups of seven. The first group got to play Viking chess. Next we got to talk to Simon. He told us about how the Vikings weighed the silver to see if it was the same weight as what the other Viking had to get it. Some of the people got to blow the horn and lie in the bed. After that we went to see Eric. He told us about how the Vikings made things out of wood and showed us some of his tools to carve wood. Last of all we went down to the field and they had a battle with all of their weapons. We were all gripped with fear and excitement. It was a fantastic day.
