Benchball and Authors!

This week has been back to normal. Almost!

On Tuesday we went to Bathgate Xcite to compete against other schools in a P4 benchball festival. The other schools were Boghall, St Columba’s and St Mary’s. We were split into teams and played on different courts against other teams. Balbardie did well and we think we won!

On Wednesday we had a very special visitor. Joan Lennon, author of the Leif Frond books, came to talk to us about writing and her books. She told us that the 2 books were published at the same time so it doesn’t matter which order they are read in. She is Canadian but has lived in Scotland for 41 years. She read an extract of one of the Leif Frond books which was lovely. We were able to ask her questions about being an author and what she enjoyed most about reading and writing.

On Thursday we completed a hiit workout and tried doing the triangle dance. It’s surprisingly difficult, although looks very easy here…….
