This week at gymnastics the children worked on developing their balancing skills. They worked in groups co-operating with each other to create the balances. Mr Drennan also came along to gymnastics and provided the children with the opportunity to try out tDHS trampoline. Thank you Mr Drennan.
Great to start our second block of gymnastics this term with P5 pupils. Today we worked on some basic skills and introduced the vault as this was a first time for some pupils at gymnastics. Those that have bit of experience were fantastic at supporting with demonstrations and also keen to build on their own skills and challenge themselves. Amy and I are looking forward to working with the group over the next 3 weeks.
It has been great to see the progress our P4 gymnasts have made over the last 4 weeks. They have developed jumping,balancing and rolling skills. Their precision and techniques have progressed so much. Those that have knowledge and additional experience of gymnastics have also been super at sharing their knowledge and skills to support others. This week we worked on balancing skills on the bean and jumping/shapes on the trampette.
We held our 2nd after school gymnastics club on Tuesday. Children were excited to develop their gymnastics shapes and use of trampette. they were all also able to get onto their feet on the vault this week. Fantatsic P4.
A great night at the transition Halloween disco organised by the social and charities committee from Dalbeattie High School for P7, S1 and S2. Lots of fun games,great music, dancing and prizes for best costume. Mr Kennedy’s photo booth also went down a treat. Thank you to everyone that organised and supported this evening.
Great first after school gymnastics session yesterday with P4. Gymnastic shapes,floor skills and vault were all part of the session today. Great to have Amy Niven from Active Schools back with us for gymnastics.
Well done to Oliva who took part in the Scottish Dressage Championships at the weekend and won overall achieving a Scottish title. Olivia was the highest scoring youth rider with 70% in her score. Fantastic achievement.
On Wednesday afternoon both our football teams competed in the finals of the Paul Jones Tournament. I am delighted to share that both teams were the overall winners of the tournament. Both teams played extremely well over the course of the tournament and showed dedication and skill in their football. Both teams displayed the school motto of Believe and Achieve. Over the 4 weeks they all displayed exemplary behaviour and sporting attitudes.
Thank you to everyone that helped transport the children each week to the events and for all your support from the side lines.
I couldn’t have been prouder as they went receive their medals and trophies. Congratulations and well done.
