This week all of the primary 1 children took part in the highland games. First we worked in the gym hall to compete in the shot put, the caber toss, the wellie toss and the farmer’s dash. We worked in teams which we called clans. There was clan Anderson, Bruce, Campbell and Douglas. We made shields to show which clan we were part of.
After taking part in all of our events we went back to class for an athlete’s feast. We got to try Scottish cheddar and oatcakes, carrot cabers, shortbread and even had a little taste of Irn Bru. Before we started eating and drinking we had a toast with our drinks and we all said cheers.
We think that we worked well in our teams by encouraging each other. Our highland games was great, awesome and cool.
Maxwel’s had a brilliant week – everyday I’ve asked how was school his response was GREAT! and BRILLIANT!
