Our New P.E Hall

Our New Hall

At Strathyre School we now have a big P.E hall. We used to have to go to Lochearnhead hall to do our P.E every Monday and now we don’t. Our new hall is very big. We do P.E two times a week in it and if it is wet playtimes we go in there and we can either play a game or sport organised by Mrs Keenan, play board games or sit and chat. The school kitchen is in there as well so we get our lunches in there on special tables that fold up and get put in the cupboard after we have eaten. We have lots of new equipment for P.E and class one have been learning hockey with Mr Martin. We now know how to pass, tackle and dribble.  It is great having so much space.

What I Like

I like that’s it’s a calmer school, it is quieter than being a McLaren. The wee class could hear us and we could hear them, now we can’t hear anything. There are corridors and doors in between the classroom in Strathyre but at McLaren the big class was above the wee class and there were no doors. Our new school is bigger, its eco-friendly. It is amazing, fun, happy, friendly and there are more rooms. There is also a lift and an amazing P.E hall. In the spare classroom which is known as the MIC hub we have a robotic station which I enjoy doing. Our new school is great.

Differences between Old and New

I was never at the ‘old’ Strathyre School. I just joined everyone when they were at McLaren High. McLaren High was good but our new school is better. At McLaren it was very noisy as it was open plan, Class 2 were upstairs and Class 1 were downstairs. We could always hear what each class was doing. In our new school we have three big classrooms. At McLaren if it was a wet playtime we had to stay in class 1 room but now we can go to the new P.E hall and Mrs Keenan organises different games every time for us to play.  The playground at McLaren was good but sometimes we had to share it with the high school children but now at Strathyre we have the playground to ourselves and it is great. We have a mixture of trees, hill and a flat area. It’s great for playing tig and hiding. I prefer being at Strathyre
