P6/7 Cross Country

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 ! 

 

 

P7 Bikeability Level 2

Cycling Scotland Bikeability 2

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.

 

P7 Leadership Training

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.

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

We all showed excellent confidence and completed all the outcomes and were delighted to receive our Bikeability Level 1 Certificates.
