Over the past 2 weeks we have been enjoying Fun, Fit Fortnight. We have had the opportunity to take part in lots of different sports and activities which were great fun!

Our first activity was  rugby. We learned how to pass properly and we got to try playing a game where we had to make 5 passes without dropping the ball or the ball being intercepted by the other team.

Jordan: “I liked the rugby and working in a team.”

We also got to try out our skills in badminton. We played games with a partner and tried to get as many rallies as we could.

Ellah-Louise: “It was fun to work with a partner but tricky to keep a rally going.”

As part of Fun, Fit Fortnight, we had a visit from 2 people who worked at Fresh Ayrshire. They work with people who are trying to quit smoking. They talked to us about the different ingredients that make up cigarettes and this was really effective because we got to see the ingredients and smell them mixed together – it was disgusting!!! We also learned about the effects that smoking has on the body.

Lacy: “I think it was a good lesson to help us not smoke when we are older.”

Jordan: “When I’m older, I’m not going to smoke and I’m going to keep my lungs nice and red.”

We even got to try out Taekwondo as part of Fun, Fit Fortnight! This was great fun and we learned how to punch and kick using the pads. We then combined our punches and kicks together. We absolutely loved this workshop because it was completely different to anything we have had before and lots of us were keen to try some more!

Adam: “I loved the taekwondo because it was fun and you got to learn new skills. It was fun getting to try out punches and kicks in our teams.”

As part of Fun, Fit Fortnight we also took part in Sports Day and a Fun Day. Sports Day was great fun and we all enjoyed getting to race in front of our parents. The Fun Day was also very successful and we got to try out different games and activities throughout the day.
