Primary 7 had a fantastic time at the ‘Superheroes’ event hosted by the Science Department at Uddingston Grammar School. Teachers were dressed up as various superheroes and the children visited different classes to carry out some exciting experiments! Here they are hard at work!
Primary 6 & 7 enjoyed their sponsored circuit and visit from Chris Bennett, Olympian Hammer Thrower. Thank you Millie for demonstrating the exercises at the beginning of the session.
Today we had our first shinty lesson, led by Mr Thomson from Uddingston Grammar. Here you can see us working with our partners. We rolled the ball along the floor and our partner had to position their feet into a pizza wedge in order to stop it. This was the easy part. Next we had to move towards the rolling ball to meet it, unfortunately this sometimes made the ball
Primary 6 have been very busy this term. In the first week after the winter break we visited Glasgow Science Centre for the launch of our Brown Trout project by The Clyde River Foundation. There was time to: explore the interactive activity floors, learn about the River Clyde and some of the creatures that live in the water, have lunch and go to the shop! Look out later this week
P2 loved having a Scottish athlete who has competed at Olympic level come visit the school yesterday . He told us about competing in Hammer Throwing, how often he has to train and the foods he needs to eat to perform at his best. The whole school got to take part in fitness stations and P2 loved the challenge!
P2 have been working on their subtraction skills. They have been using a numberline, cubes and iPads to help them find the smaller number. Our three stations consisted of Maths workbooks, Smartboard “Building Expressions Game” on Topmarks and a dice challenge to consolidate their learning.
Congratulations to Elsie from P6 onbeing highly commended in the road safety calendar competition.
Well done to the children who received a certificate today. They were all Achieving Ava! Our assembly was held in the afternoon today as our netball and football teams were out at the local sports festival this morning. They played well and the points gained today go towards their overall position in the Bellshill league.
Here are some more photographs from our ‘Sports for Schools’ afternoon yesterday. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all and we’re still collecting the sponsorship forms until the beginning of February.
Primary 3 really enjoyed our visit from Chris Bennett who is a hammer thrower for Scotland and Great Britain. This morning, we went outside and used a trundle wheel to measure the distance Chris can throw the hammer. We can’t believe how far 74.66 metres is! It was a great day!
