On Tuesday we had the Co-op visit for a fruit taster session as well as some of the classes participating in making their own healthy recipes.

 

On Wednesday there was an opportunity for everyone to experience circus skills and smoothie tasting thanks to Ian.

 

On Thursday everyone enjoyed participating in an Olympic Session run by Graeme.

The Paramedics came in the afternoon and worked with P3 upwards.

In addition each class aimed to complete a daily mile – some of the classes did this together.

It has been a really busy but fun week for everyone involved.
