Health Week
The whole school took part in a wide variety of fun activities for Health Week this week.
On Monday we were learning about the RNLI and water safety as well as learning about oral health and the importance of brushing our teeth.
On Tuesday we had lots of fun activities in our House groups. We took part in a Kahoot quiz, food tasting with Eddie and Amy from The Cotton Trail, outdoor play, litter picking and Commonwealth Games art activities.
On Wednesday we had some special visitors: Rebecca the optometrist and Gerry the firefighter. We also had our ‘Bump Up’ afternoon where we got to move into our new classes and meet our teachers for next session.
On Thursday we had an amazing turnout for our family fun event with lots of activities happening in each class and den building in the hall. We enjoyed eating lunch in the fantastic dens we built.
The pupils in P1-5 got to play New Age Kurling and the pupils in P6 and 7 were cooking with Colin from Lochside.
We finished off the week with a silent disco and laser tag.
To celebrate the start of the World Cup we also got to wear a football strip of a country taking part in the competition.
Thank you to all of our visitors who came along to support our Health Week.
A huge thanks also goes to Mrs Ferguson and Mrs Hasson who have worked so hard to organise a fantastic week of activities for us all!
