Terrific Tuesday!

Article 15

You have the right to be with friends and join or set up clubs, unless this breaks the rights of others

Well we certainly have had a very busy day!  P3 and P3/2 thoroughly enjoyed taking part in a Judo taster session in the school hall.  We did different Judo moves and took part in fun games with a partner.  We even got to wear special Judo jackets.

Later in the morning, all of the P3 children began their series of ‘Healthy Hearts’ activities with James Pegg and George Scott.  George told us all about how to keep healthy and how important our physical and emotional wellbeing is.  We then went over to the hall in The Strathbrock Partnership Centre where we did lots of active games.  The main message that we learned from today is that we should all ENCOURAGE each other.

Thrown Right In

After our lovely relaxing Easter break, Primary 5 were thrown right back in – literally!  Destination Judo came along last Tuesday to give us a taster of this modern martial art and it wasn’t long before we were throwing each other to the floor and pinning each other down.  As you can see from the photos, we had a great time and some of us are eager to join the club and try it out some more.   The club is in Broxburn and if we take the flyer along to the first lesson and join, we will be given a free judo suit, so we can look the part straight away.

Judo Taster!

On Tuesday 22 of April p6 had a taste of the commonwealth sport Judo. The Judo teacher was very funny and the activities were really fun. We learned that speed and strength are very important in Judo and we even got to throw our partners.

Ellie thought it was very fun and different.

Gregor thought the judo was epic and awesome.

Rachael Brown thought it was fabulous.

Some of us are even thinking of joining.

Achievements outside of school

Primary four have been very busy in the last few weeks outside of school.  Have a look at the medals and certificates we have received.

Isla was given these certificates after taking part in a swimming gala. She also received a certificate and medals for coming second in a Modern Dance competition. She passed her exams with distinction.

Finlay was awarded this bronze medal after taking part in a Judo competition at the weekend.
