Leave a reply

This morning our P7 Football team took part in their first competitive matches at the Inveralmond Cluster Football Festival.

Team Toronto have been training hard and their coach Miss Telford was delighted with their performance at their first event. The teamwork, determination, skill and stamina were exemplary! The team were proud of their efforts today too, especially when the managed some great results in some difficult games.

The outlook for Team Toronto is positive and they can’t wait until their next game!

Playground Fun

We have been working to make our playground areas fun places to be during break times. Our PSW staff have been leading games and activities with our children and we have seen such a positive impact. The pupils are engaged, helping each other, using their imaginations and becoming more independent in leading these activities themselves.

Our playgrounds are such positive places to be!

P6/7 have been busy!
We have been rehearsing for our performance of Joseph and The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.
In maths, we have been interpreting data from bar, line and pie charts.
We have been focussing on discussion writing and thinking of arguments for and against as well as our own opinion.
We planted our potatoes this week and will be watching them grow and adding more compost as soon as we see the green leaves appear. We are hoping to grow lots.

Some of our Primary 5 pupils took part in a Multisport Festival at Craigswood Sports Centre, as part of Livingston’s 60th Birthday Celebrations.

We tried out some new sports and some that we already love – Football, Badminton and Judo. Our competitive side came out during badminton and we had lots of fun with the Judo and Football coaches. We can’t wait to try out some of these clubs in the community.

We love PE and really enjoy when we have coaches in to take lessons, so much so we decided to take on the role of the coach ourselves for our PE session on Wednesday.

We worked our classmates hard!

P6/7 Pentathlon Practice in PE

Leave a reply

P6/7 have begun training for our Cluster pentathlon this week. On Monday we practiced our shuttle runs and coached and encouraged each other to better our times. Today we worked on speed bounces. We had to make sure our bounces were “good” by ensuring we took off on 2 feet, landed on 2 feet, so what better way to practice than using the pogo balls!

We then transferred this skill to the wedge and counted how many we could do in 20 seconds. It was tough and we were very tired afterwards, but had lots of fun and managed to better our score each time.

How many bounces could you do in 20 seconds???
