We started our Health Week with a lovely walk in the spring sunshine. We were all very impressed with how well the children walked and it was even warm in the sun.

We have learnt about the Commonwealth games as this is our focus this week and Mrs Inglis taught us all some great songs from some of the countries in the Commonwealth.

Primary 1-4 learnt to do some First Aid with our visitors who are First Responders from Penicuik. They put a friend into the recovery position and tried CPR on their teddies. On Thursday Primary 5-7 will have a morning of First Aid with Mrs Pye.

Primary 4 and 5 have enjoyed running the tuck shop this week and would like to thank Gemma, Jonathon and Finlay for letting them do this.Smoothies have been a big hit and they have enjoyed watching their pennies grow. They are hoping that they will have sold enough to pay Mrs Taylor the loan of £20 that they had to borrow to get their business started.

We are only half way through our Health week so there is lots more fun to come.
