The Bodycoach Live School HIIT
We will be doing the Live Primary school HIIT each day this week with the Bodycoach so remember your PE kits each day!
Monday’s HIIT was a great success and a huge well done to our Primary 1s who worked particularly hard during their first HIIT! The Primary 4/5 are using their maths skills to work out their ‘resting heart-rate’ and Primary 6/7 calculated their ‘fat burning rate’ to work out how many times their heart beats to be in the range for gaining fitness and strength.
Sports Day at Uplawmoor
The children worked in their houses to gain lots of points towards winning the prestigious House cup (to be revealed on Tuesday). The rain stayed off and the staff, pupils, friends and families had a great time spectating and taking part in a variety of sporting activities. Well done to the winning house on the day – Libo!
Football Tournament
Our P2/3 pupils took part in a football tournament and made friends with pupils in other schools. The sun even decided to make an appearance!

We all did very well and finished the whole course. Our running club is now finished and it’s been great fun. Thanks to the parents who joined in with us on our final session. Great effort!

Friday Dodgeball Event
The children can come to school dressed in their sporty gear tomorrow for our all day dodgeball event organised by the pupil council. Children must wear suitable clothes for sport so no jeans and no heeled shoes please. The children must be warm enough during playtime outdoors, so please remember to wear jogging bottoms if you plan to wear shorts during the day.
We look forward to playing against you all tomorrow!

Health Week at Uplawmoor Primary School
The boys and girls are enjoying a week of sporting activities and healthy eating presentations to tie in with our Health week. Mrs Crawford has been extremely busy organising a variety of unusal sports for the children to try. Today we had a go at Muay Thai and listened to the P6/7s assembly about the hidden sugars which are in our favourite foods.
Tomorrow we will be trying out some fencing with golf, curling, tai chi and circuit training planned for the rest of the week. Please remind your children to wear long sleeves for fencing tomorrow and to bring outdoor clothing (waterproof jackets etc) as some of our activities will take place outdoors or at a different location.
We will keep you posted on the website!
