Responsible Roles – First Aid Training
Today Primary 6 received some First Aid training to support them with their new Responsible Roles in August. The training developed their awareness of First Aid issues in the playground and in real life. They now are more informed about the role of the PSW First Aiders in the playground.
Thank you to Stefan from Albacare who worked with our P6 pupils.
P5 Visit Lendrick Muir
We have started to gather our photos from P5 school camp. We will continue to add photos and upload the Sway.
Celebration Assembly – Tuesday 19th June
On Tuesday 19th June we are holding our second Celebration Assembly to mark our achievements this term.
Teachers have nominated children for a STEM Superstar and Remarkable Reader Awards in each class, if your child is receiving one of these awards you should have received a special invite last week.
Two pupils from Broxburn Academy are joining us to share their achievements and inspire us.
We will also be giving out Head Teachers Awards, Sumdog Awards, Top Scorers and the House Winners, so please feel free to come along and and join us at 2:15pm if you wish.
Peer Mediation Training
This week our Primary 6s went through Peer Mediation training with Amanda and Sarah from Scottish Mediation. They went through a range of activities exploring what mediation means and the processes that are involved in peer mediation.
Sarah and Amanda said:
”We had such a great time with the group of pupils, who were really focused on the task and a pleasure to work with … you will have a great team of magic mediators. Both Amanda and I would like to thank yourself and your staff for helping us and making us fell very welcome over the two days. Your school is a delight to work with.”
Some of P6 children will be Magical Mediators in the playground next session as part of our Responsible Roles programme.
Congratulations to Primary 6!
Sports Day
P6 Peer Mediation Training
This morning we welcomed Amanda and Sarah from Scottish Mediation to train all our Primary 6 pupils on how to use Peer Mediation. Although specific Primary 6 children have been selected to be a Magical Mediator next session, we recognised that these are imported life skills and invited all our P6 children to attend the training.
Nursery Health Week
During health week we looked at different ways we could keep our bodies healthy.
We started each day with our exercises. We stretched and then exercised until we were a little bit hot. We talked about why we felt hot, saying it was because we were making our hearts beat faster and exercising out hearts was a healthy thing to do.
Before snack we always wash our hands to wash away the germs that might be there that could give us an upset tummy. We all watched our “Handy DVD” that shows us the best way to wash our hands and tells us when we should wash our hands.
We looked at our snack and could talk about all the things that we had for snack that were healthy foods. We enjoy lots of fruit and vegetables with snack and always have milk and water.
After snack we brush our teeth and we all have our own toothbrushes with our special picture. We use a small amount of toothpaste to clean our teeth and we all know that if we do not brush our teeth they can “go bad” and “can be sore”.
We enjoy lots of outdoor play and love to use our muscles to run around, to move equipment and to play. We enjoy playing on our climbing frame, bikes, scooters and balance bikes.
Primary 4 Health Week – Day 5!
So we have reached the end of Health Week 2018. Our class have done so well this whole week and I am so pleased at how much they participated in and tried new things.
Today we had our Health Week assembly where each class had to go up and tell the school about someting they had done during Health Week this year. We decided to talk about our fruit smoothies and how we prepared them.
We also got to join in with a Jump Start Johnny dance fitness video at assemly which is something that P5 had been doing this week.
Our healthy snack people for today:
Well done to you guys!
To finish off our healthy week, we went out for our Daily Mile and Daily Skip.
I hope everyone had a good week and thaat we are all feeling a little bit more healthy!
