Sports Day

Posted on June 20, 2017 by Mrs Alexander

Sports Day was a great success. It was a beautiful, sunny day and all of the children had great fun. In teams, they each took part in 8 different potted sports activities including egg and spoon race, sack race, discus and even the ice cream race! Each team earned points which were added together and the winning team overall was Couthally. Next we had a relay race for our senior pupils and Medwyn won this trophy. Each class participated in races and we even had family and friends joining us for an adults beanbag race, which was great fun. We finished with a tug of war competition which Somerville won. All of the trophies will be awarded to the house captains on the final assembly of the year on Tuesday 27th June.

Well done to everyone who took part and thank you very much to everyone who was involved in making Sports Day a great success!

P1 Transition Healthy Living Event

Posted on June 16, 2017 by Mrs Alexander

Today our preschool children had the opportunity to take part in health awareness activities as part of their transition from nursery into Primary 1. This was delivered by the NHS Health Improvement Service and South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture. A healthy buffet lunch was also provided which was enjoyed very much by everyone involved. We would like to thank parents/carers for attending to support this event and their child’s learning. Also, a big thanks to all Health Professionals involved.

Feedback from parents/carers about this activity was all very positive. Some of their comments included:

“Enjoyable and beneficial afternoon.The fitness games for the children went down well.The food was delicious and appreciated – the school and staff go above and beyond and it’s a shame more parents didn’t take the opportunity”

“I think this afternoon is such a good idea for both parents and children. Thank you for putting on a lovely spread of food”

“Fantastic opportunity for my child and I to learn all about healthy living. Great interactive opportunities and guests. Brilliant learning experience and amazing lunch provided”

“Really interesting to see the amount of sugar in different foods. Good for children to hear this and be made aware of this. Good mix of activities and lovely food for them to try”

“Quite a learning experience, we learned a lot about sugar intake”
