Our Sports Captains and Vice Captains have been working with Amy from active schools over the last few weeks on becoming Play leaders for the school. Today the leaders put their skills to the test by setting ups session for P1/2. Amy shared that the leaders had done a fanatic job and they were a credit to the school and themselves. Well done everyone. I can’t wait for you to deliver some of these session in the playground at breaks and lunchtimes for different classes.
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.
We held out second session of level 2 bikeability yesterday. All the children were able to demonstrate skills from last week and worked on news skills today. Both groups coped very well with traffic in the area we were working and took onboard advice from volunteers and sports leaders. Well done everyone.
Primary 7 had a visit from Amanda, Community First Responder for the Scottish Ambulance Service, on Thursday. She taught us the importance of assessing danger, checking the airway and placing a individual into the recovery position. She highlighted the steps that the children would take if they found an unresponsive patient that wasn’t breathing. The children participated in performing CPR and learned about how to use the defibrillators that are located in our local community. All of Primary 7 displayed great resilience by continuing to perform CPR even when they got tired!
Great work Primary 7!

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.
Well a bit short on photos from this evening but the P7s have had a fantastic night of fun. Slip and slide, water balloons,water guns, super soakers, face paints, just dance, fizzy drinks and treats. A lovely way to end what was a special day for them as they prepare to move to secondary school in August.
