The Primary 6 pupils have been demonstrated an increasing confidence and skill during their ski sessions at Newmilns. Mrs Cunningham has said that they have been so ambitious and respectful throughout their sessions so far and are doing the school proud!
Last week, our house captains and vice captains planned and delivered a Kahoot quiz all about Bonfire Night. They visited each of the classes and gathered the pupils from their house to participate in a Kahoot. Some healthy competition and a chance for each of our houses to boost their points for this month! The P6 pupils were very competitive and full of excitement throughout the duration of the quiz – an excellent way to motivate and encourage ambition in our school!

We had a very confident and ambitious individual in class last week who had completed an excellent poster on Firework Safety as part of her homework tasks. She shared the poster with the rest of teh class and discussed what she had learned about staying safe around fireworks.
Well done!
P6 have been enjoying their ski lessons at Newmilns. We have already seen independence, confidence and resilience grow in leaps and bounds! The pupils can now get their ski boots and skis on independently (a challenge in itself) and they were skiing down part of the slope whilst completing fun challenges such as head, shoulder, knees and toes.
Can’t wait to see how they continue to grow and develop throughout this amazing opportunity!
To finish off, Primary 6 had lots more fun tubing!
Primary 6 were delighted to have Blair come and deliver a tennis session. We focused on developing the ‘volley’ shot through a range of warm up games and progressive activities. Blair commented how excellent the Primary 6 pupils were and that their abilities were great. Super work P6!
Well done to our P6 pupils who participated in and passed their Bikeability Level 1. A huge thank you to Lynsey Murphy from Active Schools who came along to support Mrs Wilson with the delivery of this. The pupils had lots of fun and it was excellent to see a growth in confidence as well as abilities throughout the day. All of the pupils seem excited about progressing onto their Bikebility level 2 training.
