🥌 Primary 7 took part in an indoor Curling competition today ran by Amy from Active Schools and assisted by the DHS Sports Leaders. Everyone showed great team spirit, encouraging each other and congratulating each other. The nail biting final came down to a 4-4 draw and was decided by a sudden death draw shot. Our winning team, The Fizzy Fantas, were victorious and will now progress to the stewartry schools competition on the 11th December.
A huge well done to all our teams, especially runners up Harris, Sammy, Calum and Korey; and our winners Jack, Darcy, Shiannah and Sophie. 👏🏼
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.
Our sports captains and vice captains have been working with Amy again this week to develop their skills to become play leaders. Lots of discussion, planning and testing activities. We are looking forward to our play leaders supporting classes at lunchtimes through different planned activities.
A great cycling initiative that may be of interest.
Great to hear about all award winners today from Mrs Howie after assembly today. Well done everyone it certainly sounds like it was a busy assembly. Thank you to everyone for supporting us in raising funds for Children In Need today.
