Yesterday our P6s and a few of our P7s took part in their first Bikeability 1 session with David the instructor. It took us all a little while to get our bikes sorted and checked and learn the “Bike M check” so that all of our bikes are safe to ride from now on. We also had to learn how to fit our bike helmets properly. David has asked us all to bring our bikes back tomorrow (Thurs 22nd Oct) so that a bike maintainence team can check over and fix any problems.

House Assembly (Room 5) Friday 2nd October
On Friday we had our second House Assembly of the year. At the assembly we were lucky enough to have 2 visiting Judo champions who spoke to us about the skills and attributes they had and worked on to become champions in their sport. The skills included perseverance, dedication and discipline.
After the visitors left Room 5 took us all on a journey back in time to the time of the Vikings. They told us all about what the Vikings did and their beliefs and even sang a song called Loki the Joker about the naughty god Loki who loved playing tricks on everyone.
Next it was time to find out who had won the House Points this time round. To start off we found out who had the most class points:
Dundyvan: 92 Rosehall: 56 Summerlee: 129 Waverly: 86
Mr Clark then handed out all of the Fantastic Awards to the pupils who have worked really hard in the past 2 weeks. Each certificate earned 20 House Points! Dundyvan (5), Rosehall (5), Summerlee (6) and Waverly (6).
Then he told everyone which house had won the bonus 100 points for good behaviour (Rosehall).
Finally, as the boys and girls sat waiting on the final result – Mr Clark announced the totals for all 4 Houses. The total points were as follows:
1st place: Rosehall (256 points)
2nd place: Summerlee (249 points)
3rd place: Waverly (206 points)
4th place: Dundyvan (192 points)
Well done Rosehall House and the running score now sits as follows:
Dundyvan – 2 points
Rosehall – 6 points
Summerlee – 6 points
Waverly – 6 points

Kirkshaws gets planting!
We have all been working hard to make changes to our school grounds and work towards our next Eco Flag. With the help of Mrs McBain and Toni (Parent Action for Safe Play) our school Eco Committee worked hard to plant some vegetables at the front of the school which we will be able to watch grow before harvesting and using in some healthy recipes later on in the year.
