This morning, Primary 7 went to Barrhead High School to try out some P.E. They could choose gymnastics where they did some floor work, partner moves and jumps on trampets. The pupils also got a chance to practise their basketball skills such as shooting and playing a game as part of a team.

Yesterday, Primary 7 braved the elements to take part in a sponsored run at Cowan Park. No one let the rain dampen their spirts as everyone raced full force around the park, not even stopping to avoid puddles! Great job Primary 7!

Today, to celebrate World Book Day, the hall was transformed into a tranquil reading area. Primary 2 then chose their favourite book which they brought along from Primary 7 to read to them. Primary 7 read beautifully to the younger children, engaging them all with excellent expression and pace!

Primary 7 visited the debating chambers at East Renfrewshire Headquarters. There they posed the motion ‘This house believes that animal testing should be banned’ to the Lord Provost. Both the affirmative and opposing sides prepared convincing arguments with thought-provoking facts and statistics. In addition, the pupils delivered their arguments with passion and conviction, well done Primary 7!
