S2 Challenge

Some of Sanquhar Academy S2 pupil’s had a challenge from Seargent Callum Dalgleish-Little who came to compete in the 400m and 100m.  A great effort from all but Sanquhar S2’s pipped him at the post. 

Happy Hooves Visit

Our pupils had a bit of a different day today, the equine dentist was at Happy Hooves to show them how a horse has to look after their teeth same as we have to, then some EFL (equine facilitated learning).  Well done – another busy morning!

 

DofE Practice walk

On Tuesday 3rd may, 7 S3 pupils undertook the walk from Wanlockhead to Sanquhar. This was in preparation for their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award later in the year. On the way, they practiced their campcraft and navigational skills whilst experiencing what is like to carry a rucksack full of everything they will need to take with them on the expedition. A few eyes were opened as to the degree of effort required but all enjoyed the day in the hills.
