Nursery Sports 2017

On Thursday last week, we held our annual nursery class sports day!

Take a look at the gallery to see our little athletes running, jumping and throwing – and generally having a great time!

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!

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.

Check out the gallery below!

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!
