Around fifty pupils enjoyed two fun filled days of badminton during this year’s activities. Learners were treated to a variety of games and technique drills with Mr. Smith and his wonderful assistant Mr. Williamson. Activities included fast feet drills, Jail break, Netty and Swiss draw tournaments to end both days.

Enthusiastic participant Cameron Boxwell said that he had a “great time” and “that is was a great way to get into badminton”.

A big thank you to all those who took part for making both days very enjoyable for everyone.

P7 students from the AHS feeder primary schools recently enjoyed a range of activities in the AHS P.E. department as part of their transition programme.  Approximately 150 learners took part in a number of team based activities led by S3 volunteers. The day was a great success with many new friendships being forged.  We look forward to seeing everyone again on their return to the Anderson.

We would like to thank all the S3’s involved for their organisation and enthusiasm throughout the day.

A group of Secondary 3 pupils were treated to a Let’s Circus workshop last Friday by a talented group of performers with skills ranging from plate spinning to mind blowing acrobatics. The Let’s Circus group have been touring in Shetland for the last couple of weeks performing to sold out crowds in many venues.

The pupils involved were heavily involved in a number of different activities and had a great time with many learning a new skill like juggling or hoola hooping. The group’s Ringmaster Steve Cousins passed on a powerful message to the group saying that his performers were only able to achieve such a high level of performance by not being afraid to fail and using their past experiences as motivation to achieve their goals.

Well done to those that took part and a special thank you to the Let’s Circus performers.
