The session began with a demonstration of basic techniques, followed by group practice where pupils worked on their aim, control, and teamwork. The younger children in Primary 1 particularly enjoyed playing small bowling games tailored to their level, helping them build confidence, coordination, and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Older pupils explored more advanced skills, focusing on accuracy and strategy while encouraging and supporting their younger peers. The mixed-age setup promoted leadership, cooperation, and a strong sense of community across the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A special thank you goes to Jean, Linda, and Florence, whose support and enthusiasm helped make the day a great success. Their guidance and encouragement were appreciated by both staff and pupils alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1
