Football and rugby in P6/7
We have been getting taught rugby and football in primary 6/7. We are being trained by Queen Of The South and Dumfries Saints. We have been showing focusing, collaborating, communicating, adapting and leading. We got a little bit muddy while being taught the rules of rugby and how to score a try. When we were playing football we were playing fun games to warm up then at the end we played some matches.
Rights Respecting Schools in Primary 6
Primary 6 pupils have been identifying how our rights are being met at Heathhall Primary School. This was part of our Rights, Respecting Schools Day.
We worked in two’s to produce posters on how our rights are being met. We then linked how these are being met by identifying the Article which applies.

Creating Boards Games in Primary 6
Primary 6 have been creating their own board games, working in groups of four. We planned our games then began to make them. Our next step is to finish making them and then spending an afternoon playing our games.
We also had to write a set of rules for playing our games, ensuring fairness for all.
We have used our HOTS skills and META skills when completing this task.
Mrs Hannay and Primary 6 can’t wait to play these games.

Primary 6 have been busy writing books for Primary 1 pupils. We wrote a story for them, designed a front cover for them and read the storybook to them in the Primary 6 classroom.
We then took the Primary 1’s outside to each them games. We designed these games ourselves.
A Successful Day in Primary 6
Primary 6 have had a super successful day. We ran well in the cross country championships at Park Farm, then 4 P6’s represented Heathhall Primary School at the Euro Quiz at Troqueer Primary School.
