Primary 6’s phenomenal health week!

What a fantastic time P6 had during health week last week. On Friday we shared some of our opinions on our favourite parts…

Zumba

  • “I loved how Sandra had so much energy! She had so many classes before us and was still so energetic!” – Aiste
  • “I enjoyed performing the dance, my favourite part was the song choice – Juju on that Beat” – Jayden

Orienteering

  • “I liked orienteering because we had the choice to go outside and pick our own teams to work with” – Kalvyn
  • “My favourite part was the challenge when we tried to figure out what the sentence meant” – Rachel

HiiT training

  • “I liked it because my legs really hurt the day after so I could tell it was a really good work out” – Robbie
  • “It was fun and something different. My arms and legs were aching the day after” – Evan Sm

Healthy Food Tasting

  • “I liked it because it was like getting a double lunch, but it was healthy and something different” – Evie
  • “I liked tasting the salad, it tasted fresh” – Reece
  • “I never thought I would like salad but when I put it in the wrap with the cold chicken it was really good, I would like this for my lunch again” – Lauchlin

P6 would like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone (visitors and teachers) who helped make our health week so much fun!

We are so excited to be going to The Badminton World Championships 2017

What a ‘Fantastic’ opportunity.  We will join the Big Hit Festival in Glasgow for a two hour session, then watch the best players in the world in the afternoon.  This I’m sure will inspire us to keep improving our own game, in preparation for the West Lothian Badminton Tournament.

           

Trying Thursday Health Week P2/3………

Our word for the week in P2/3 is “try”. This is to encourage us to try our best at all the activities we are doing this week and also relates to growth mindset which we have been learning about this week.

Yesterday we had the police come and talk to us about being safe on bonfire night.

We also had fun in music with Mrs Lang learning songs about being healthy and also practicing songs for our St Andrews Assembly later this month.

We also had a lot of fun trying kurling for the first time and everyone was really good and worked well in their teams!

We also took on a squat challenge at the start of the week. Using flower by Moby (song) we have to squat when the song says ‘down’ and stay squatting until the song says ‘up’. We managed the whole song yesterday! Watch a short clip of us doing it below:
