Taekwondo Taster Session in the Nursery

On Friday (9.9.16) Little Tiger Cubs Taekwondo instructor, Yvonne came in to visit the nursery children in the morning and afternoon. Yvonne had a chat with the children about why she was here and then we got straight to it! Firstly, all the children started with a warm-up obstacle course, then we stopped and stretched all our muscles, then lastly we learned how to do some punches and kicks! All the children had great fun at our one off taster session and we also learned from Yvonne that we don’t use the punches or kicks on anyone in nursery or at home.

Golden Time

Every week, the children in Primary 1 to 7 earn Golden Time as a reward for excellent behaviour and showing respect.

The teachers and staff work together to plan and organise fun activities for the children to enjoy. The children from the afternoon nursery also join into the activities.

Have a look at the selection of fun Golden Time groups that took place last Friday. The smiles on the children’s faces say it all!

Nursery trip to Edinburgh Zoo.

All the nursery children and their parents had a great time at Edinburgh Zoo. There was lots of things to see and do. Some of the children and parents were even brave enough to hold some small animals!

Nursery Sports Day!

The nursery children had a great sports day on Friday 17th June. The children participated in a egg & spoon race, running race, space hopper race, beanbag race and an obstacle race. Even some of the adults who attended took part and raced! I think I speak for everyone when I say we had a great time! Well done to all the children and adults involved.

Sports Day Results and Medals!

Today the boys and girls from P1 to P7 attended a special assembly to find out the Sports Day Results! The children waited with anticipation to find out whether their house came in first, second, third or fourth!

The results were as follows: 1st Place was Torbothie house with 15,150 points, 2nd place was Herbison house with 10,600 points, 3rd place was Southfield house with 10,350 points and 4th place was Tulloch with 6255 points.

The top three houses were presented with a lovely medal this afternoon and were delighted to receive these from the school house captains!

The children will receive a Sports Day Competitor Certificate tomorrow with some extra certificates to follow next week.

A big thank you to our fabulous Parent Council for very kindly donating £100 towards the cost of the medals and certificates.

Sports Day at Brandy Park

Today the boys and girls from P1 to P7 took part in the annual Sports Day at Brandy Park. The weather wasn’t in our favour but that didn’t stop the boys and girls from having a great afternoon.

The P1 – P3 children enjoyed participating in the flat race, egg and spoon race, bean bag race and sack race. The children competed against each other in their school houses: Herbison, Torbothie, Tulloch and Southfield.

The children cheered each other on and waved their house flags and banners as the races took place!

P4 – P7 enjoyed participating in the flat race, sack race and the team relay! We were all extremely impressed with each class and we may have some future athletes in the making!!

A massive thank you to Sergeant Scott and PC McRobert from Police Scotland for assisting with today’s events by ensuring all children and staff made their way safely across Torbothie Road.

Thank you to all parents and carers that attended today’s events, your continued support is greatly appreciated.

The winning houses will be announced at Wednesday’s whole school assembly. Well done everyone!

Fever!

Primary 5, 6 and 7 put on a wonderful performance this afternoon of the Scottish Opera Musical, Fever! The children have worked hard over the past few weeks to learn the songs and in just one day, worked with Scottish Opera to stage this active and energetic musical. Well done to everyone involved on a wonderful performance.
