This week we were very lucky to have a visitor teach us some Judo techniques. We played some games and learned some Judo moves. We had to work with partners, listen to instruction and take care not to hurt anyone else. Protecting our heads was the most important part. It was great fun. Some of us are even going to start going to weekly sessions.
Primary 5 and Mrs Campbell were delighted to welcome Alan Hamilton into school on Thursday afternoon. Alan has previously been a regular visitor to our school, working with P6s and P7s on their World War IDL contexts. He is a mine of information about WW1, WW2 and everything in between!
Alan came to speak to Primary 5 about Remembrance and gave us a real insight into the life of a soldier, from rations and trench foot to horse dung and ‘sweet pea mixture’ (ask your kids!). He brought along his own medals and some interesting artefacts to show us and also very kindly left us copies of his own sketches which he made whilst serving in Iraq.
The pupils were highly engaged in this session and understandably had many questions which Alan did his best to answer!
Well done to you, Man of the Match!
4 goaling clearances for your team at the weekend 🙂
The children have enjoyed going for regular walks and exploring our local park and library. They have been learning how to
EE2
The children gain so much from going out into our local community. We would like to be able to offer this experience to all the children in the nursery but we need EE2 (Excursion permission form) filled in by parents/carers before we can do this. These are required for all new children and returning children. We have been handing these out to families of returning children and they would have been in a welcome pack for new children. If you have not filled an EE2 form in please ask a member of staff for the form, so we can include your child in this experience. Many thanks for your support.
