Yoga! Yoga! Yoga!

Namaste!

Our school as been very lucky enough to have Tracy our new yoga teacher come in and use her experience to help us with our mediation, relaxation and yoga poses. All our Classes are getting involved with P6 showing us how it’s done below!!

We have all been learning new breathing techniques and exercises to help focus our minds and to help us relax with Tracy, trying to control our breathing and channel our energy. We have also learned some great yoga poses so far we know Warrior 1, 2 and 3! As well as Dog, Sphinx, Child Pose and Tree.

This has been a great addition to our school time table and the extra practice during school and at home will help us all achieve a healthier lifestyle and also help with relaxation in our own time. Thank you Tracy!!!

Class 2 Athletics Event

Some of our Class 2 members enjoyed a visit to The Emirates Arena for an athletics event ran by Sport Scotland today. There was a whole load of new events that our class 2 were able to participate in.

We Started with a 200 meter track run showing how fast our class was by having the Fast times of any school. Which we were all very impressed by!!!

After the 200 meter, We then moved onto more individual events that meant having to use all different muscles groups for lots of throwing, jumping and sprinting. We got to try out and get measured for the Long jump, High Jump, Shot Putt, Discus, Javelin, Hurdles and High Jump. Their favourite events were the Discus and the High Jump, where even Duncan had a go!!!!

It was such great work from Aiyub, Mariam and Huzaifa all afternoon long impressing the Sport Scotland people so much they all ended up with medals after such a great afternoon!!! Well Done!!!!
