What a great week we have all had this week for Health Week! It has been so busy with great things happening all week and the sunshine has really helped us get outside and enjoy our activities! As it has been so packed, we have broken it down into days!

Monday:

Clean-up – we started the week helping Mr Bryce keep on top of the litter picking and weeding.

We had Star Harmonies in school on Monday afternoon giving us a taster session of Matilda The Musical. We got to sing about Revolting Children and did actions as well as we sang. It was really good fun. We also had sing-offs between the boys and girls and then the P6s and P5s. Everyone enjoyed this!

Keris – It was very fun!

Brogan – Musical theatre was my favourite activity of the week.

Tuesday:

Sports Day arrived on Tuesday and it was lovely to see parents join us for our sessions of Potted Sports and then the races in the afternoon. The classes worked in house groups. Here we are ready to go – some looked more enthusiastic than others!

Charley – I came first in the flat race!

Eve – I enjoyed the races, coming second to Charley.

Danielle – I enjoyed the races as I came third in the hopping race.

Wednesday:

Come Dine With Me was on in the morning. We were making sandwiches and we had a lot of choices for fillings with some unusual combinations added. Alfie wins with his filling of Nutella, crispy bacon and banana! He did admit he had to take the banana off as it didn’t taste quite right… Everyone really got enjoyed making these and some sandwiches didn’t last very long. A few made it home … hopefully in one piece!

Playground Training – we were outside going round the new playground zones and looking at the resources at each station to see what there is and to see if anything else would be good to have. We went round in groups with P1/2/3.

Cory – Let’s Talk About It show was on in the afternoon. The jokes in this were quite funny.

Keris – I really enjoyed going around the playground zones seeing what was in the boxes at each zone.

Thursday:

Thursday morning brought gymnast Amy Regan to Stoneyburn who gave us a taster session of gymnastics. Amy Regan is a two time Scottish Commonwealth Games Gymnast who did gymnastics for 15 years. She put the class through their paces and tired them out with her warm-up! Some pupils were ready to sit down after that but had to get on with 3 different stations to demonstrate their skills!

Just Dance requests in the classroom

Wheels Half Hour – for those of us who brought in wheels and a helmet, we all got the chance to have fun in the playground for a bit. For those who didn’t bring wheels, they played some games on the grass.

We were out watching the Stoneyburn Vs Greenrigg football match on Thursday afternoon and we were cheering on both teams! Well done to Stoneyburn with for the 9 – 4 wind and our class mates who were playing – Callum, Alfie, Fraser, Brodie and Charley all played their part in the team’s win! Well done everyone, it was a great game to watch!

Fraser – it was a good game and played magnificently!

Friday:

We were outside with P4 and P7 for Rackets and Bats! We had 2 games of rounders on the go with mixed class teams.

We also had our Sports Assembly this morning announcing the winners of our races. The final announcement was the house winner which this year was Wallace – well done Team Wallace!

Back to normal next week with only 3 weeks of P5 and P6 to go….Wow!

Have a great weekend!
