We had lots of fun today raising money for Sports Relief and it was a massive success! We raised a whopping £342!  There were lots of different sporty activities in the hall including; beat the goalie, score a basket, hoopla and a hula hoop competition. The winner was Jenna-Leigh who lasted over 9 minutes!

Every class also took part in a ‘sporty’ themed Challenge Friday. Some classes played the ‘over and under’ game to see who could make the most passes in 2 minutes. Others tried to throw bean bags into different sized hoops.

Thank you to the Pupil Council for helping organise today’s events and spending their time helping others at the stalls. Also thanks to everyone for their kind donations. The money raised has gone to an excellent cause.

Primary 1 have been super busy today! We enjoyed a visit from Lilian and PJ Bear from Sick Kids Hospital who told us all about how people who work in hospitals can help us. We learned lots of interesting information! Then all of primary 1 went outside to have a sports challenge for sports relief. We had to work in teams to see how many times we could get our beanbag into the hoop within a minute – the winning amount was 17! Miss Napier and Mrs Tucker were very impressed at how well all of primary 1 listened and worked together as a team. Great job primary 1!

1st star – We have enjoyed watching the chicks hatch this week and lots of primary 1A have been watching at home.

2nd star – We enjoyed learning about what happens at the Sick Kids Hospital and about how people who work there help us. We really liked our visit from Lilian and PJ Bear!

Wish – We would like to write about the chicks in our writing jotters next week.

Primary 1 have been learning about People Who Help Us in class and enjoyed a visit from some firefighters last week! They learned lots of interesting information about how firefighters can help us and about the different items they use and wear. P1A were even lucky enough to have a shot in the fire engine – everyone had so much fun!
