School Sports 2018

Post date June 5, 2018

This morning we had our annual School Sports Day, bathed in glorious sunshine! Mr Griffin and Primary 7 have been working hard over the last few weeks to get everything ready for our young athletes. Our children were split into house teams and they rotated around eight different events:

* relay

* hocket dribble

* rugby run and throw

* netball shoot

* boccia bowls

* basketball

* tennis

* obstacle course

We finished off the event with a fun parents’ race…and our parents weren’t competitive at all!

Our children had a great morning, and were suitably exhausted when they returned to their classes!

Thank you so much to Mr Griffin and P7 for doing such a wonderful job, and to our guests who turned out in such great numbers to support the children. Thank you also for the wonderful feedback given to our staff and pupils after the event!

We’d like to say a huge thank you to Mr Griffin and our P6 pupils for helping our wonderful nursery staff organise such a great day for the children. We’d also like to give a special mention to our superhero family members for being such good sports in the adult race!

Coaching the Managers!

Post author By Mr Innes
Post date May 11, 2017

One of our parents, Gail Wilson, The Manager of Scotland’s Womens Volleyball team, came in to speak to our Sports Education Managers and Assistant Managers. She talked about her job, all the things and people that she was responsible for, what she liked about her job, as well as the bits that she didn’t like about her job! She showed the children how her team would go through the steps of shaking hands and exchanging gifts with the other countries they played against. Some of the children got small badges that would be part of this exchange. All of the children also got Scottish Volleyball wristbands. She will also be sending in 2 volleyballs signed by all of the Scottish Volleyball team that we can either raffle or use as prizes in our Sports Education!

Thank you Mrs Wilson – you were a fantastic help!

Yesterday, some of our P7 boys took part in the Airdrie Schools Cup football event, organised by Active Schools.

Our children enjoyed the experience, with every member of the squad getting plenty of game time! Following the event, medals were presented by some of the Airdrieonians football players – with one member of our team being particularly star-struck!

Look out for more about the event in the Airdrie and Coatbridge Advertiser.

Boxersize!

Post author By Mr Innes
Post date February 21, 2017

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!

As you may know, our School and House Captains and Vice-Captains have been working really hard over the past few weeks to organise and run a school talent show.

Our show was held in the assembly hall this morning, and it was definitely a big success! Our Captains and Vice-Captains did a great job of presenting the show and the talent on display was fantastic!

Our audience were wowed with some wonderful singing, dancing, music, poetry, gymnastics, art and even some impressions!

Check out the gallery below and have a look at our 13 marvellous acts, who all performed on stage this morning:

We would like to say a huge congratulations to everybody involved, with an extra special mention to our winners:

Robbie, in 3rd place, singing ‘We Will Rock You’, who has won 50 points for his house!

Alex, in 2nd place, who performed some live art with audience participation, earning 75 points for his house in the process.

Lucy and Amber, who sang beautifully and finished as joint winners…earning a whopping 100 points each for their houses!

Sports Day Fun in the Sun

Post author By Mr Innes
Post date June 8, 2016

The sight of the summer sun has been a welcome one over the past few weeks, and we were delighted that the sun shone on us again for the Nursery Class Sports Day this week. Have a look through our photos and you can see just how much our children enjoyed the day, as well as how active they were! It was wonderful to see so many adults come along to cheer on the children, and to join in the fun during the Mums’ Race and Dads’ Race!

The Sports Day allows our P6 pupils and Nursery Class children the chance to work together, strengthening bonds between our school pupils and our pre-school group before they come together as Buddies at the beginning of the new school session.

Mrs McCulloch would like to say an enormous thank you to Mr Griffin and P6 for organising and running the event, to the Nursery staff, to the visitors who came along to watch and of course, most importantly, to the children for giving it their all!

Mrs McCulloch would also like to thank John Wilson photography for taking the official photographs on the day, which will be added to the website in the near future.

What a great day!
