A Busy Start to Health Week for P2/3

We have done so much at the beginning of health week that we wanted to let everyone know about the special activities we have been doing so far…

We started health week yesterday by inviting Mrs Stewart to join us for our daily mile.  We had a talk from the ladies from Childsmile who reminded us how to brush our teeth correctly and gave us a chance to brush Dexter and Yoshi’s teeth.

After break we did some multi-sports in the hall as well as having P.E. with Mr Muldoon in the afternoon!!

Oskar liked doing the daily mile and Izaak enjoyed having a chance to brush Dexter and Yoshi’s teeth.  Abi has liked all the activities especially trying to throw the small hoops into the big hoop.

Today our morning started with ‘shake and wake’ in the hall as it was too wet to be outside.

We then did more P.E. with Miss Campbell.  Chloe and Niamh both said they enjoyed the races (I think the egg and spoon was a favourite!) and Charlie liked doing hockey.

Next we took our teddies to learn how to save a life.  We were shown how to do CPR by pushing down on our teddies chests and talked about how to call an ambulance.

We did our daily mile by walking round the school so we can keep up with our Bankton marathon challenge and finished this with a visit to the fire engine that came to the school.  We all had a turn sitting inside even though it was very wet outside!!

Health week has been very popular so far.  Here are some of the children’s thoughts about it…

“It’s been super fun and by the end of the week I will be exhausted because of all the fun!”   Cameron Ch.

“Health week is the best week ever!”  Casey

“I like to play sports so I don’t want health week to end!”  Jamie
