P.4 and P.5 pupils learned the skills of knights of the past in the first of a series of fencing after school club sessions. They learned about fast, furious footwork , moving forward and backwards in a straight line and the need to listen carefully to instructions. All enjoyed wearing their fencing head guards and handled their swords with great discipline.

They responded immediately to the command, ‘En garde!’ And the pink cheeks at the end of the lesson showed what a strong, hard workout everyone had had! Roll on next Tuesday.
