House Football Tournament

Last week St Alberts held our first House tournament of the year. A 5 and 7 aside football round robin tournament. Games were played on the muga and watched by the participating classes.

First set of games were P2( Fire) , P2/3 (Wind), P3(Earth). After each team had played our winners of the infant round robin was P2/3 (Wind)

Next up was the middle school P4(Wind), P4/5 (Earth), P5 (Fire). After some close games the winners of this section was P5(Fire)

And last but not least was the upper school round robin of P6(Earth), P6/7(Fire), P7(Wind). After another smashing set of games the winners were P6/7(Fire) coming away with the points.

Big thank you to everyone who played, supported and helped organise our first tournament of the school year. There was some awesome footballing skills on show over the last week congrats to you all.

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!!!

After School Clubs

After a long couple of terms we finally have after school clubs back!!!!

What a great feeling it is to get back to normal and get our kids out and about. For just now all clubs are outside and will make the best of the weather till summer.

We have a range of clubs going on from football and basketball to gardening and outdoor cooking clubs.

Week 1 went well even though the weather wasn’t always great but hopefully will be get better in the coming weeks.

Those who have come to the clubs hope you have had fun and cant wait for more till summer comes!

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 Term 2

Our Active schools co-ordinator Ivonne is back again this term and she’s working with our Infant department teaching them Orienteering skills. Our classes are so lucky to have Ivonne coming in every week to work with a few classes. This week it was Primary 2/3 and 3 who were showing off their skills.

Both classes were so good they actually got two different games each with Ivonne which impressed me, both teachers and Ivonne. So a big well done to both classes and we will see even again soon.

Virtual Great Scottish Run Part 3

Part 3 of our Virtual Great Scottish run today and Both of our P6 and P6/7 have smashed the 96 mile trek on the West Highland way! Both classes recorded over 100 miles over the 2 week period. So massive well done to all who took part.

Active school were so impressed they have sent us a celebration video for completing the event and both our classes have made it into the video. See if you can spot them in the video below. Once again a MASSIVE WELL DONE!!!!

P5 Track and Field Athletics

Since the start of this term our Primary 5’s have been working very hard with Mrs Pattie and Duncan learning and challenging themselves at different track and field events during their PE time.

So far we have tried, Long jump, shot putt, baton relay races, 800 meters and today was Hurdles and Javelin. One set of our P5s were so good at the hurdles Duncan brought out bigger ones to challenge them.

Brilliant effort from the Primary 5’s on increasing there fitness during the sessions and am sure they are excited to see what’s in store for the next track and field sessions coming this week.
