Our choir has just received £200 to donate to their chosen Christmas charity for their tuneful singing at the Shotts Co-operative before Christmas. Well done to everyone involved!

We had a lot of fun last week being healthy. The boys and girls had the opportunity to experience a wide range of sports including: boxing, dancing, rugby, golf and tae kwon do.

As well as trying new sports there was the opportunity to try lots of different kinds of fruit juices too in the Healthy Cafe set-up by the Health Committee. The Primary 7s worked together to make some mouth-watering smoothies. They were delicious!

Being healthy was a big focus in class too. Classes looked closely at how they can look after themselves and others. They learned about what it is to have a balanced diet. The Heartstart programme was also undertaken at each stage and each child learned how to look after someone in various emergency situations. The P7s will also be trained in CPR this week.

All in all a very busy week indeed!

Our whole school is preparing for a week full of healthy, fun-filled activities. Throughout the week we will be encouraging each other to become more active and try new sports and healthy snacks. Watch this space to see what we get up to.

Royal Rockstars are visiting St. Patrick’s this week. We look forward to working with them and recording our own CD.
