Euro Finals

After a great week of football and even better set of Group games it was time to find out who will be the overall winners and take on our teachers.

The teams that made it though to the Semi finals were P6 Ukraine vs P6/7 and Class 2 Germany and in the other semi final it was P7 Poland vs P6 Czech Republic.

Both Semi Finals were hotly contested but our teams that made it through were both from P6 to set up a Final game of P6 Ukraine vs P6 Czech Republic.

It was a cagey affair but in the end the P6 Ukraine team came out winners 2-1 with a last second free kick save to win our tournament and set themselves up for a prize game against the Teachers! Well done everyone who took part! and Well done team Ukraine!!! We will be seeing you on the pitch soon!!!

Cricket Scotland

Like to give a big thank you to Cricket Scotland for coming in and working with our Primary 7s. We are lucky enough to have Cricket Scotland in for 8 weeks this term to work on our batting, catching and fielding skills.

Our end goal with Cricket this term is to be able to have a full proper game of cricket set up by our P7s by the end of this term. Our Primary 7s have really enjoyed the first few sessions and we have found some future star batters and fielders in the making too.

Class 2 Karate

This term Class 2 are brushing up their Karate skills with Duncan. Previously before Covid-19 the Class used to work with David from Satori Karate so you can imagine the excitement in class 2 when it was announced that Duncan would be coming for karate this term.

I have to say none of the class have missed a step since their last session all the way back in March showing excellent power and technique in both their controlled kicking and punching. Perfect striking the hand pads quickly and effectively as well. I was very impressed with the enthusiasm and energy for everyone.

The hand pad boxing part of karate is great exercise that we can do in small spaces to help not only improve karate technique but also improve cardiovascular endurance too. Duncan will be back with Class 2 again on Friday for more fun exercises to help the class keep improving their fitness and technique.

Active Schools Orienteering

Our primary 5 & 7s have been luck enough to be taking part in a orienteering session with our great Active Schools Co-ordinator Ivonne today. We at St Albert’s work with Active Schools over various different activities and events over the year so its great to have them back with us today.

Our Class had to find hidden letters that were spaced all around our playgrounds to make the longest word they could thing of. The P5s & 7s came up with some awesome words in some record times after being able to find all 10 letters that Ivonne had hidden around the area.

We all very much enjoyed it and had a lot of fun with Ivonne today. We are very excited to see what she has in store over the next few weeks. Thanks Ivonne.
