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.
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.
Primary 5 and all Primary 6s took time to enjoy the sunshine today and went outside to play rounders together.
Great team play and lots of fun together. A competitive game with great sportsmanship when the bib team won with some excellent batting and runs.
What an amazing experience to sing at the Grand Hall with 3 other East Ayrshire Schools.
P5/6 performed with confidence and all staff were extremely proud of how smart everyone looked and how engaged everyone was with their performance.
Mr Houston even made a guest appearance to listen to us perform.
A fun and exciting way to promote our wellbeing during Health Week.
Art students from the University of West of Scotland came to work with us today. They taught us about the importance of wellbeing and using expressive arts to promote positive wellbeing and linking it to nature and the world around us.
First thing in the morning we went outdoors and listened to the sounds around us and used some breathing techniques to help us relax and connect with our surroundings.
We then went on a nature hunt to find some natural objects from our school garden that we found intersting.
We took our objects indoors and used some observational drawing techniques to sketch our objects.
After break we created our own paintbrushes using natural materials. We listened to some calming muisc as we designed and used our technical skills to create our tools.
We then took a break for lunch and in the afternoon used chalk to sketch some large drawings inspired by nature in our playground.
We learned how to make natural paint using water, flour and food colouring. We finally used our paintbrushes to paint our chalk drawings. You can see by the smiles on our faces how much we enjoyed this day.
Feedback from everyone was that this was a fun, positive and calming day. Everyone was engaged with the activities and found their inner artist.
The student art teachers commented again on our excellent behaviour, enthusiasm and creativity.
What a great start we had to Health Week today! We started our morning with a Karate Lesson with Sensai Liam from Senjokai Karate. We learned some warm up moves and karate drills and all about Japanese culture.
In class we took some time out of our busy day to relax and have a Massage in Schools break in class.
During lunch we had a visit from a very important potato! Super Tattie came to visit and we took some photos and had a conga through the playground.
After lunch we helped the HWB School Improvement Committee by creating class worry boxes. We will deliver these to every class later in the week.
On Friday we took our Buddies outside and practised potted sports for Sports Day. The Primary 6s delivered the session and the Primary 5 s supported the ECC pupils and gave them encouragement. We had a great afternoon and we can’t wait for sports day on the 19th May.
