The boys and girls are continuing their Health Week activities and have been learning about food and fitness.

“We went to Tesco and we learned about the journey food makes to the food to the shelves.  We also talked to the workers and they let us in to the big freezer!  We held some fish at the fish counter which was cool!”   Ashley P6

“We did a sponsored run outside with Mrs Orr.  They measured out 200m and we could run as many laps as we wanted.  I did 26 laps so that was over 2k.  The money we raised is going to ‘Save the Children’ to help children who are not as lucky as us.”  Mary P6

“Kilmarnock Football Club” came to see us and we learned some football skills and played a game in 4 teams.  We then went into the hall and learned all about water and how it is good for your bones and your health.  It helps the flow of oxygen to through your body too.”  Dylan P6

Primary 3/4 are learning about the human body.  We have been singing a song called ’10 Bones’ and we have been doing lots of exercises to make our bones strong and healthy.  Here is a picture of  ‘bones’ posters.

We are in the middle of  writing a story about Superhumans.  My story is about a man named Lloyd who drank a potion by mistake and all of his bones detached and he became an angel!

Primary 1-5 welcomed two firefighters from Barrhead fire station who spoke about fire safety.    We learned about the equipment which is stored in different compartments of a fire engine.  We also learned about the protective clothing firemen wear and how they use special oxygen cylinders to help them breathe in smokey conditions.
