Sports Day

June 22, 2015 Mrs Murdoch Leave a comment

On Friday, we had a fantastic day taking part in lots of different activities. To begin with we started off at the Micro Fitness, where we got to try lots of new equipment like spin bikes, treadmills, cross trainers and rowing machines. It was great fun but hard work too!

After the Micro Fitness we went to the disco. The music was great and we had a fabulous time dancing with everyone!

Our next activity was the bouncy castle. We all had a fantastic time jumping about!

After break, we visited the potted sports area where we took part in football shootout, hockey dribble, basketball shootout and beanbag throw. We all tried really hard to earn some points for our house!

After the potted sports, we took part in some football training activities led by a coach from Colts F.C. We all enjoyed learning some new skills!

In the afternoon we took part in orienteering. We worked in a group to find clues and come up with a secret message. We all had great fun trying to find the clues and solve the code!

Finally, we took part in a scavenger hunt to find a variety of things in the Nature Garden. We enjoyed exploring outside and had fun trying to find a four leaf clover!!

2015 Summer Challenge

June 8, 2015 Mrs Murdoch Leave a comment

Today we were invited to Abronhill Library to find out about the 2015 Record Breakers Reading Challenge! The theme of the day was Record Breakers and we heard three stories narrated by Fergus and Ron of Mac-A-Story.

The first story was about Finn McCool who was a Knight in golden armour and needed helpers to assist him on his adventure to defeat the giant and reclaim stolen goods. In total he had seven helpers. Jody was the light fingered thief who helped to capture the goods and Dominic was the best archer in the land who shot the giant to defeat him!

The next story was about Atlantis who was a Princess who the fastest runner in the land. Nobody was able to defeat her.

The final story was about Thor, the God of Thunder who was the strongest person in the world. Christian was very lucky to be chosen as Thor and did a great job acting out each part of the story!

We are very excited to be taking part in the Record Breakers Challenge – if we want to take part we have to complete the registration card and return it to school tomorrow. The challenge is to read six books during the summer holidays.

Special Lunch

May 19, 2015 Mrs Murdoch 1 Comment

This week Primary 4 won Prize 3 of the ME Time Awards, which was ‘Special Lunches’. Each day we got to go into the lunch hall a bit earlier than all other classes so we could get first choice for our lunch. We also had beautifully decorated tables with special stars and table mats, it was great!

‘I liked it because it was a little quieter when we got in the hall first.’ – Christian

‘I loved getting in earlier than all the other classes!’ – Megan C

‘It was excellent because we didn’t have to wait for our dinners!’ – Robbie

At Assembly on Monday we found out that we had collected most ME Time Tickets AGAIN this week and we have now won Prize 4, which is ‘The Big Day In’!! We are now thinking of some ideas for our celebrations! We can’t wait! 😀
