Farewell Message

Leave a comment

I just wanted to say a BIG thank-you to everyone who made my last day at Stoneyburn Primary School so lovely.

Thank-you to all the staff and pupils who put together a fantastic assembly.  It was lovely to see some of the things I’ve been involved in and to see all of the school’s dance moves!

Thank-you to all the parents who came to the assembly or spoke to me over the past week.  I really appreciated all your kind words and best wishes.

Thank you to all the pupils in Primary 6/7 who made Friday such a fun day at out party.  The music, dancing and dance-offs were brilliant.

Finally thank-you to the parents and pupils for your lovey messages in cards and very generous gifts.  It was all very overwhelming on Friday but I want to say thank-you properly now.

It has been a pleasure working with all of your amazing children over the past 7 years.  I wish you and them all the best and hopefully will be back for a visit sometime soon.

Thank-you,

Miss Welsh

Rainforest Dance

Leave a comment

Primary 6/7 have been doing some creative dance linked to their topic about the Rainforest.  Today they listened to a piece of music then worked in groups to come up with some moves to fit to the beat of the music and tell a story.  The groups worked hard to create flow in the dance and worked on performing in time with each other.

Timing proved to be a challenge for some groups and was identified as a next step.

Here are a few photos from today’s session.

Leave a comment

Today Primary 6/7 had the opportunity to work with Steven from Fauldhouse Boxing Club.  He worked with them for 45 to improve their fitness levels and teach them some non-contact boxing basics.

Comments from the pupils:

David – Enjoyed the workout part, doing the press-ups.
Stuarts – Enjoyed the burpees challenges.
Connor – Steven was serious.  He just got on with it.  It meant we could do more.
Peter – At the start, he was teaching us right and left handed way so it was fair for everyone.
Dominic – Keeping our arms up in the boxing position was challenging.
Zoe – Not being able to moan (one of Steven’s rules).
Dawn – The challenge part of the session was really hard.
Rebecca – The two-touch jump was hard.
Connor – I learned how to move with my right foot in front as I usually do it with my left.
Rebecca – I learned that you should always moan, just do what your told and try your best.

Presentation and Fitness Skills with Jammin’ Andy

Leave a comment

Yesterday Primary 6/7 (and Greenrigg Primary 7s) worked with Andy McKechnie all day on speaking in public.  He taught the pupils some drills on how to help project their voice, speak at a steady pace and add expression to their voices.

Pupils used these skills to teach the other classes a dance/fitness routine (with the help of Andy).  There was then a showcase where the classes showed each other what they had learned.

Pupils from all classes enjoyed working with Andy.  Primary 6/7 pupils gained confidence through the event and the skills will help them when they come to present their individual c

lass talks and with the Summer Show.

Here are a few pictures from yesterday:
