Our sports captains have started working with Amy from Active Schools to complete a course to allow them to be play leaders. Looking forward to seeing how they progress over the next few weeks and then applying their learning in the playground.
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.
Great to have almost all the children that participated in the Junior Hardock together today for picture. Unfortunately our P7s were away at Operation Safety and we didn’t manage to capture them in the picture. Another huge congratulations to everyone that took part.
What a fantastic morning at the Junior Hardrock Challenge. Great to see so many of our pupils participating. They certainly all displayed the school value of being committed throughout the event. Great to see everyone cheering for each other in all the races and showing real sporting attitudes. Very proud of them all.
Well today at lunch time we had three football games going on at once. Never has this happened before! The Sports Captains and Vice Captains were amazing and took responsibility for playing with, encouraging and supporting both P1 and P2 so that both year groups had the opportunity to play football. So proud of how they have taken on these leadership roles and responsibilities.
P6 were with myself for football and I did compliment them on how well they had played today. We do have some skilled players across the school but when we play football at school we are very mindful of the variety of skill levels we have and always try to encourage everyone to do their best, show sporting attitudes at all time. These qualities were definitely shown by P6 today. Well done.
We really enjoy having Ross Cunningham from active schools joining us for our lunchtime club on a Thursday. Ross always plans lots of fun games and activities for the classes he is working with. This term P7 and P6 have each had 4 weeks of lunchtime club with Ross. Next term we will move down to P5 and P4 having this opportunity.
Primary 2 had their first session of lunchtime football today. This was led by the P7 Sports captains and vice captains. The P7s were fantastic role models, coaches and team members for the children to follow and work with. Well done Sports captains, Looking forward to seeing what other opportunities you can lead and develop across the school this year.
Great to have Matty and Benji from Queen of the South join us again today to present us with a set of football tops for the school. The P6s also had some great football questions for the players.
What a fantastic day to be out with some of our P7s undertaking their bikeability level 1 training today. All the children were amazing. They carried out bike and helmet checks. They followed instructions with care and demonstrated a good awareness of cycle control, gliding,stopping,starting and turning. The slow race was a great challenge and they all gave this a great go. Looking forward to progressing to level 2 training next term.
For anyone interested in taking part in the Junior Hardrock Challenge some ride the route sessions. Fantastic opportunity.
