Boxing Taster Sessions

It certainly was a busy day at Rochsolloch Primary School yesterday!

We were visited by Mark McGuinness, from Ecosse Boxing Club. Martin is a former Commonwealth boxing coach, and he joined us to share some of his expertise with our children.

After speaking to the whole school at assembly, Mark took some classes for individual sessions, where he taught the children about the sport and gave them a chance to try it out.

Boxersize!

At Rochsolloch Primary School, we always aim to provide our children with two hours of high-quality physical education every week. During their time at school, our pupils learn that taking part in exercise has both physical and mental health benefits. Yesterday afternoon, our pupils from P4-P7 took part in a boxercise taster session, with the team from Bannan Fitness Club.

The children had a great time working up a sweat as they completed their routines using the gloves and pads, medicine balls and steppers. Boxersise is a really high-energy activity, so the pupils were testing their stamina as well as their strength!

Not content to let the pupils have all the fun, our staff team took part in a session of our own at the end of the school day, with most of use making use of muscles we’d forgotten we had!

Magnificent Netballers!

We would like to congratulate our school netball team on a very successful outing this morning! Our pupils visited Airdrie Academy to take part in a netball qualifying festival, where they competed in four matches – winning an amazing three of them!

The team will find out next week whether they have qualified for the next round of the competition, so our fingers are crossed!

Our after school netball club has been running for around a year now, and the pupils have worked very hard to improve their skills and knowledge of the game, alongside Miss Clerkson and Miss Allan.

I know the rest of the netball squad will be as proud of today’s team as their coaches are! Great job team!

Spooky Cookery!

On the 31st of October, we welcomed Marie-Clare from Chefs at Schools who took some of our classes for a cookery session, making ‘Spooky Healthy Treats.’

The pupils learned all about how to prepare food safely and hygienically as they made spooky-themed fruity treats.  Yum yum!

Our children are often given the opportunity to prepare food as it is so important that we help them to develop this essential life skill!

We would like to thank Marie-Clare sincerely for providing our pupils with this terrific experience and we look forward to welcoming her back into school in the near future.

P5 Morrisons Visit

On Tuesday 25th of October, Primary 5 and Mrs Munoz visited Morrisons as part of our ‘Healthy’ focus month.  The children had an absolute blast as they were given a magnificent tour by members of staff.

The pupils visited numerous departments of the store, including the fishmonger, cheese counter and bakery.  The children were even given the chance to scan some items through the tills!

Following the visit, P5 wrote letters of thanks to the Morissons staff with Mr Innes. From reading the letters, it was very clear that the pupils very much enjoyed their visit, learning a great deal in the process!

Handball Taster

Today at our School Assembly, the pupils were introduced to our new SHANARRI focus of ‘Healthy,’ which we will be looking at in detail over the coming month.

Our pupils were treated to a ‘Handball Taster Session’ NL Leisure representatives Kevin and Russell. The children were taught about the sport of handball before some lucky pupils were given the chance to have a go!

There was an excited buzz in the gymhall as the teams competed to see who could complete the most passes. Even watching was exhausting!
