Leave a comment

Last week we enjoyed another trip to Fenwick Bowing Club. Mr Houston joined us and had lots of competitive games planned. We had lots of fun and and supported and cheered each other during all the games displaying  great sportsmanship. At the end of the day, we had 4 clear winners ! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

We were fortunate enough to have the support and advice from the members of the bowling club. The club are keen to start a Saturday morning junior session and all pupils are welcome to attend. If this is something you would be interested in, please contact the school office or speak to Mr Houston or Mrs Ross.

P5 and P6 Fenwick Bowing Club

Leave a comment
This afternoon all the primary 5s and primary 6s walked down to Fenwick Bowling Club to try our hand at lawn bowls. We were lucky enough to have some of the members lead some practise activities with  us.
There were definitely some skilled players amongst us and perhaps some junior members in the making ! We are looking forward to our second session next week. Thank you to Fenwick Bowing Club for hosting us. We are so lucky to have this facility  on our doorstep. 

P5/6 Hampden Trip

Leave a comment

Today we had  a fantastic trip to Hampden Park. 

Read  all about our  day of learning: 

Striking Herstories

https://www.scottishfootballmuseum.org.uk/

We started in the Scottish Football Museum where we were excitied to see the real Scottish Cup . We then visited all the stops on the Striking Herstories Trail, exploring and learning all about the history of Women in Scottish Football. We enjoyed looking at lots of the interesting artefacts and interactive activities.

Stadium Tour 

Next we took a tour of the stadium and visited the underground roadway where the team buses arrrive. We went to the home and away changing rooms (we all changed our shoes in here so that we could say “we got changed in the Scotland Football Team changing room”). We loved entering the stadium to the “Hampden Roar” and then being presented with the Scottish Cup! Thanks to Jim and Andy for telling us so many amazing facts and Megan for making sure our day was captured on film! 

AR26 / Brain Health STARS Training Session

https://www.ar26.org.uk/

Ronan from AR26 came to take a FIFA training session. We learned different strategies to use rather than heading the ball. We really liked spelling out the word BRAIN in teams, passing the ball to the correct letter. Euan, Mrs Ross’s son,was also there to help with this session as a football player and coach. 

Sophie from Brain Health Scotland came to talk to us all about our Intergenerational Topic and she was super impressed with our brain knowledge and how to prevent brain disease and take care of our brains using the STARS approach.

Heart Start / Concussion Training

Katie and Seamus from the Hampden Sports Clinic delivered training as our last session. They taught us what to do to prevent and treat concussion and how to use CPR correctly. 

We had a fabulous day and came back to school full of excitement and lots of stories to share with our families and friends. 

Thank you to Mr Neal Ross at Hampden Park Football Museum for organising this exciting day of learning for us all.
