Healthy Walk 2

Today, as part of our 'Health and Wellbeing Walks' we were walkig te picturesque route from Lunderston Bay to the Kip Marina and back. All together it covers a distance of around 3 miles along the banks of the Clyde and is often a haven for seals and other wildlife. The only wildlife we saw were from P4-7 who really enjoyed being out in the fresh air!

Cayman and Isabella's Greek Adventure

Last term, P4/5 were looking at the legacy of Ancient Greece. We performed plays, dressed up and ate Greek food. After the term was over for two of the class, Cayman and Isabella, the Greek adventure was only beginning. They went on holiday to Greece! An extra long holiday thanks to an Icelandic volcano that shut the UK's airports. While they were there they visited many places we had talked about at school, including the ancient Parthenon! Luckily, they managed to get home and back to school with stories of a great Greek holiday!

Tennis!

Today we started our block of summer tennis lessons. They kicked off in the most beautiful spring sunshine and were much enjoyed by all. Mr Atkinson, who is a trained tennis coach, will be taking the children in P4/5 for these on Wednesdays so we hope for lots more sunny Wednesdays!

Trips

This term there are varied trip dates. I've sent a list of these home but I thought I'd put it here too :)



Mr J

Healthy Walk 1!

Today we completed Healthy Walk number 1. With P6/7 we began our tour of the most scenic and beautiful walks in Inverclyde. Today it was along the esplanade. This is a walk we have obviously done recently with our efforts for Sport Relief but it was a lovely day and very nice to get out along the mile-long walk along the banks of the Clyde. The esplanade is a very poopular place for walkers, joggers and cyclists who enjoy keeping fit along it. Today it was 26 pupils from P4-P7!

Health and Wellbeing Trips April to June

This term, April to June 2010, we are going to be using the (hopefully) good weather and planning some 'healthy walks' on our trip days. This will tie in with many of the Health and Wellbeing outcomes. They will also provide a great way of looking at the beauty of the environment in and around Inverclyde. The dates are outlined below. For each walk the children should come to school in trip uniform, always with a waterproof jacket and sturdy shoes suitable for walking the route for that day. They should also bring snacks and plenty of juice or water. On some of the days they may also require a packed lunch. For some of these days we will be joined by P6/7. These should be great fun and we look forward to putting some great photos on the blog!
