S1 Interdisciplinary Event

PICNIC IN THE PARK 2017

This Friday 29th of September sees all of our S1 pupils head to Drumpelier Country Park to participate in our annual interdisciplinary event Picnic in the Park. 

  • ALL EV5 PERMISSION SLIPS NEED TO BE RETURNED TO THE PE DEPT TO ATTEND

  • PLEASE ENSURE SUITABLE FOOTWEAR IS WORN FOR COUNTRY PARK TERRAIN
  • PLEASE COME PREPARED FOR CLASSES IN SCHOOL IN THE AFTERNOON
  • WE WILL BE RETURNING DURING LUNCHTIME SO A PACKED LUNCH AND ADDITIONAL WATER IS ADVISED

Pupils have been working in PE lessons to develop their cardio respiratory endurance, navigate between controls on a map and judge their running pace between controls. In Home Economics the S1’s have been learning how to fuel their bodies  before sport and replenish energy stores after the competition. Each pupil has prepared food for themselves to eat before and after the event. In Geography, the pupils have been learning how to read a map and use the features of the map to get to the controls in the safest and fastest route.

All of our S1’s are excited to compete in one of our 3 challenging courses. Photos will be published after the event. However, you can follow some of the action on the day via the PE Dept twitter feed at @chrystonpe

 

S1 Girls’ Football Update

The Girl’s Football Team did very well in their first tournament last Wednesday at St Ambrose and managed to go undefeated, drawing in both games they played ( 0-0 and 1-1) and automatically winning the third due to a forfeit. Many of the team were playing up in the senior contest, so this was a fantastic result. All the girls are an absolute credit to Chryston High School. 

The Team:  Eve Bryson, Aimee Green, Codi Thompson, Jessica Cook, Monique Spalding, Kayleigh Brady, Hayley Westwood and Billie Jackson

Coaches:  Scott Williamson and Connor Johnston in S6.

As this was my first tournament with the squad, I am  delighted and impressed by how well the girls did and how well they represented the school.  I’m looking forward to many more.

The Fitness Suite

In Chryston High School, we have a wonderful fitness suit.  The Girls’ Fitness Club is on Friday after school from 02.55 to 03.55.  The other fitness clubs are on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at lunchtime.  The times are  great if you are normally at home and not active.  If you are in school it’s great to do something active at lunchtime since it can get a little boring waiting for your next class.  I think if you have the time you should definitely go since it could be a wonderful experience for you and your friends. You can  improve your fitness and meet some new friends.  The people who run the fitness club are the seniors who are very helpful and nice. Go and have fun.

My First 3 Weeks

My first 3 weeks at Chryston have been great! My faaaaavourite subject so far is probably Music.  I am learning drums along with Aaron, Jack, Anya, Andie, Gemma and Rebecca.  My second favourite subject is probably Art.  Outside of school I spend a lot of time drawing and doing sketches – I just love it.  So when I’m in Art it is just really fun for me!  I have made new friends from other schools.  In fact, some of my best friends are from other schools!   So overall my first three weeks have been amazing!  I have two favourite subjects, I have made new friends and I have new best friends, not a lot but it is enough to make me happy.

School Dinners

Pupils at Chryston High School really enjoy the school meals. The kitchen is very clean and organized and the staff there are so helpful and happy. All of the 7 staff love working in Chryston High.  All the food is made freshly every morning and you have lots of choices to pick from. The lunch time is 12:30 till 13:15. The food they make comes from Blakes grocery. The kitchen is well cleaned every morning before they start cooking or baking. All the meats they use are fresh not frozen. They are always looking for new recipes or ideas for the kitchen.
