Last week the p6/7s went to the Airdrie Schools Cup. We were competing to win the Fair Play Award. We worked hard to play as a team. Half way through it got called off because of the rain. They showed us a presentation about the old and new Airdrie Schools Cup. It was interesting.
On Thursday we had a visit from Mr Marshall and Kirsty from Active Schools. She had good news for us. Plains Primary won the quiz so congratulations to them. We won the Fair Play Award! That meant we all got to go to Airdrie Stadium to be presented with our trophy infront of all the football fans.
The fire brigade came and taught us about secondary fires today. They where telling us about the danger of secondary fires. They said a lit cigarette can set fire to a sofa in one minute we all found it fascinating. The firemen asked us to spread awareness of secondary fires, They asked us not to do prank calls because there could be a more important emergency.
Today we visited Kirk O’Shotts church for our Easter Service. We had been practising our songs and today we got to do it for real. Lots of parents turned up to see us and we performed well. We had to brave the snow storm, lovely spring weather indeed! This is the second time we have visited the church and it will be the last this year.
This term we have been reading Divided City by Theresa Breslin. The book is about how Glasgow is divided between Catholic and Protestant. Two boys from different sides come together to help each other through difficult times. We are almost finished the book and it has been a really good read. The book gives you an inside view to what the dark side of Glasgow can be like when one moment of violence changes everything.
On the 18th march 2015 primary 5/6 and 7 went to a hand ball tournament at Ravenscraig. We did very well and we always kept our heads up. We were joint 2nd in group 3 and we were all really proud of ourselves. The coaches always commented on our behaviour and how well we played. We all won a medal and a certificate.
The Kirk o’ Shotts Primary Netball Team competed in the Airdrie finals on Friday, after qualifying for a place from our group heats at the end of 2013. Not only did everyone involved play extremely well, but we WON the competition. We were awarded gold medals each as well as the competition shield for the winners. Savannah was also nominated ‘Player of the Team’. This means we go on to be one of the two teams representing Airdrie in the North Lanarkshire finals later in the year, competing against each of the top two teams from Coatbridge, Motherwell, Kilsyth, Cumbernauld and Wishaw. We’ll let you know how we get on!
The Kirk o’ Shotts netball team played their last set of games today and were very successful yet again. They won their group! We wish them lots and lots of luck when they play in the finals. Well done!!
