Well done to our Cross Country Team who represented Fenwick Primary School at the East Ayrshire Cross Country Schools Event last week.
The team warmed up together, motivated and encouraged each other. They even made up their own cheer leading chant!
We looked the part in our Fenwick Kit!
Each runner gave their best and ran with determination! We were all incredibly proud of their amazing efforts. Well done everyone, what a fabulous team !
We have been invited to participate in the East Ayrshire Primary Schools Cross Country 2024 event in November (subject to securing transport). As part of this process we will be holding heats with all P6 and P7 pupils on Friday the 11th October and Tuesday 22nd October.
Can we ask that all children come to school with a full change of clothes in their bag to use for the cross country heats in the field. The heats will take place regardless of weather and/or condition of the field so children may get wet or dirty (please keep this in mind when packing their change of clothes and shoes for these dates). Further updates will be posted in due course.
Primary 7 successfully completed level 2 bikeability after 5 days of cycling over the last month. Thanks again to Lynsey Murphy our Active Schools Coordinator for helping Mrs Ross to deliver these sessions on the roads in Fenwick
Bikeability Level 2 takes place on single lane roads with simple junctions and moderate traffic, after a rider has successfully demonstrated level 1 skills. Riders learn to make good and frequent observations, communicate their intentions clearly to other road users, decide on and use the most suitable riding position, understand priorities on a road and make decisions about when people wait and when people go.
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.
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.
