P5/6/7 Leadership in P.E.
Children from P5/6/7 were recently showing their leadership skills by planning and carrying out different sporting activities such as football skills, parachute, dodgeball, jumping, tennis and hockey. We had a competition to see who were the most supportive and engaging instructors as voted for by the 2 classes. Our winners were Hannah and Libby who did an excellent job leading a high jump station. Well done to all instructors who volunteered!
