P7 Leadership Training

 

Today we took part in a day of training to support us to become leaders across the school.
Blair came and share his knowledge of tennis coaching with us and we learned what makes a good leader, how to be a good leader and to reflect on the difficulties of being an effective leader.
We had lots of fun practising these skills in the classroom and in the gym hall.
Our next step is to put these skills to use and deliver some tennis lessons across the school.

Bikeability Level 1

Today we brought our bikes to school and spent the day in the playground developing our riding skills. Thanks to Lynsey Murphy our Active Schools Coordinator for helping us complete this with Mrs Ross. 
We practised the skills needed to develop basic cycle control skills and to gain the confidence to use our bikes more often.
Level 1 outcomes:
1. Demonstrate understanding of safety equipment and clothing
2. Carry out a simple bike check
3. Get on and off the bike without help
4. Start off and pedal without help
5. Stop without help
6. Ride along without help for roughly one minute or more
7. Make the bike go where they want
8. Use gears (where present)
9. Stop quickly with control
10.Manoeuvre safely to avoid objects
11.Look all around, including behind, without loss of control
12.Control the bike with one hand
We all showed excellent confidence and completed all the outcomes and were delighted to receive our Bikeability Level 1 Certificates.

PC Rae Visit
Today we enjoyed a visit from our new Campus Cop, PC Rae. 
She spoke to us about the importance of staying safe when using social media and accessing the internet.  
We learned about the importance of staying safe when  uploading photos, asking permission, age restrictions for social media sites and different online games and what to do if we need to report any inappropriate content.
