Article 31 – Every child has the right to relax, play and take part in a range of cultural and artistic activities.
Some children from Primary 3-5 were enjoying early morning races with Miss Brown in the playground from 8.30 this morning.
What a great start to the day!
Today Primary 5J had a fantastic day in the sun. Last week, we took our learning about instruction writing and created our own new games as part of our Health learning. Today, every child taught a short lesson about their game. We then evaluated their instructions and provided them with Stars and Wishes. We will be putting all of our fantastic ideas into a book to provide pupils and staff with different games that they can play!
The sun was shining on Tuesday for our Morning Sports Day. The children had great fun and were all stars! Thank you to all the families that came along to cheer their children on, we appreciate your continued support.
We are looking forward to our Afternoon Sports Day on Thursday at 2pm. Photo’s of this will follow.
On Monday all the Primary 4’s went to the Partnership Centre in East Calder to celebrate the completion of the Artwork being displayed. Back in November we were asked to take part in the design process with artists from Bespoke Atelier. We helped them by discussing and designing our own bags which were used as inspiration. The artwork has now been installed in the Centre and we were given the opportunity to view it and share in some refreshments.
P2C had an amazing health week with lots of exciting activities. We were involved in sports day, cycling with our smoothie bike, playing rugby and learning football skills! A very busy week.
We had a great start to Health Week last Friday with the Super Half Marathon. Thank you to everyone who has returned sponsor money.
We had super weather for our Sports Day on Monday.
On Tuesday we were learning about why some people have to take medicines and the importance of using medicines safely.
On Wednesday we got to taste the smoothies we made by cycling on the Smoothie bike!
And finally on Thursday got to work on our football and rugby skills.
We can talk about why exercise and fitness are important for our bodies and we had a lot of fun in Health Week!
P1 – P7 pupils participated in a sponsored half marathon event and with the help from EiC events (the Edinburgh Marathon organisers) we achieved a whole school time of under 2 hours.
Well done to all our staff and pupils who took part and a big thank you to Mr Millar for organising the event.
We were learning to dribble with the ball and play games to improve our skills. Then we worked with partners to try to dribble the ball to each other. After that we played a game of cat & mouse. The cat had to run around the circle and get back to its space while the mouse had to try to steal the balls. At the end we had to play a match against each other. We had a great time and it showed us different ways to improve our fitness.
We had a great time making our Smoothies. We talked about how healthy they were to eat. We also used the bike to discuss what we had learned about forces and how they were moving the wheels and then the blade of the blender. Very yummy smoothies!!!
