Wow, what a busy and active week we have had. We have been learning about the importance of keeping our minds and bodies healthy. This week our school focus was Health fitness week, we took part in a variety of fun, healthy and active activities. A massive thank you to Mr. Logan who had organized such a fun and active week for us!
It was important this week that we took part in an active start every morning, this helped us to wake ourselves up, but aso to help our body and mind to get ready for our busy days ahead. Each morning we started with a different active start to our day, to name just a few activities, we took part in some yoga and mindfulness, just dance, Kids fitness program and some 5 a day Spanish ( doing exercise and learning Spanish at the same time!). As the biggest craze at the moment is Fortnite we even managed to use all the Fortnite dancers for part of our active start, this was great fun, but wow did we find it challenging and exhausting – even Mrs. Matos was struggling to keep up! Throughout the week we took part in different sport games such as rugby, handball and Gaelic football – this was a good opportunity to play together as a team, have fun and learn new skills too. One of our highlights of our healthy fitness week was having the opportunity to make and taste some fruit smoothies, mmmmm!! Let’s not forget our fantastic sports day on Wednesday, it has truly been a fun filled week.
Amongst all the fun, on Tuesday we took a walk to St Michael’s church, where we were given a tour of the church, our focus of the tour was to learn the history about the church and we had a closer look at the windows and the meaning behind some of the lovely art on the windows. After our tour we walked to the rugby club for the Linlithgow Book Festival, we had the opportunity to meet and listen to the author of our class novel, Fox Girl and the White Gazelle. We really enjoying our novel and some of us were lucky enough to purchase the novel for ourselves and had it signed by the author.
Over the last 30 weeks, some Primary 6 and Primary 7 children have been practicing with the company Limelight, they have been playing instruments and transforming into rock stars. On Tuesday the ‘rock band’ performed at Howden Park Centre, Mrs. Matos went a long to watch the performance and was blown away by the level of confidence and enthusiasm by all children involved, a massive well done to all involved.
Only two weeks to go before our summer holidays begin, what more is still in store for us?
P6A and Mrs. Matos
