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.

Well, we certainly had a busy assembly today with a full run  through of all our songs for the Church Service at Christmas. Everyone was in great voice and when reminded followed the music well and managed to sing in time and tune.

Mrs Howie and the Eco group shared information about a design competition linked to our Eco code. We had confident individuals standing up and presenting to the whole school.

HT awards today given as always for lots of great reasons. Lots of collaboration mentioned today. Working as classes to produce items to sell at the Christmas Fayre. Pupils showing commitment and confidence as they have taken on parts for the Christmas show were also mentioned today. Mrs Grey has been working on dancing with classes over this last block of work and noted how well some people were taking part in this in PE showing co-ordination and rhythm.

Play Leaders were presented with their certificates today for the training they have undertaken with Amy Niven from active schools. The leaders stood up with confidence and told everyone about the skills they had been developing and what they hope to deliver for the school as play leaders.

Author Visit

Leave a comment

We were lucky enough to have been picked to receive an author visit through Wigtown Book Festival and the Big Dog Schools Tour. Today author Chad Strathie visited P1-P4/5 and shared his books Dear Dinosaur and Gorilla Loves Vanilla with the classes. There was lots of humour, hilarity and noise throughout the visit.  Can you  spot the food dinosaur and the disgusting ice cream the children created with Chae? Creativity and imagination in abundance.

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.

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.
