The highlight of our week was the multi-sports festival at James Young High School. We tried badminton, rugby, basketball, football and a mini assault course and we loved all of the activities. It was great to try so many new skills!

On Wednesday 5th October, Primary 7 went to JYHS for their German Adventure.
We had to go around JYHS and find different cities in Germany.
We were put into teams with 3 or 4 people one or two from Dedridge and a pupil from JYHS.
It was really fun and we had to use our problem solving skills and got to learn some German vocabulary and a little bit about German cities and German culture.
