Primary 5/6 News

This week in Primary 5/6, we did Jammin’ Fitness with Andy and learned Capoeira (Brazilian martial art) and how to think positively under pressure.  On Tuesday,  Primary 6 attended a Cross country running competition at James Young High School.  Jack won the boys’ race, which means that St Ninian’s have been invited to attend the Primary 7 cross county school competition later in the year.  Well done, Jack!

On Wednesday, our visiting teacher Miss McDonald led a lesson on Health and Wellbeing.  We learned about the nutritional values of our food as well as how to determine which snacks are better for us.  On Thursday, Miss McDonald taught us science and we found out how much salt, fat and sugar are in different foods.  Did you know that 7-10 year olds should only have 24g of sugar per day and that a small packet of Haribo sweets contains around 63g of sugar – scary!

To end our week, we attended an assembly about keeping ourselves safe in lots of different situations, like riding our bikes and playing on-line. It was very useful!

We had a great week spending a lot of time learning outside in the lovely sunshine too!
