On the 19th March we had a sports relief day. The Health Committee decided we should do a ‘Memorable Mile.’
Everyone came dressed in fancy dress costumes and we also had to run, skip, jump, hop or anything like that for a mile. I think we can all agree it was pretty tiring! We didn’t do it in the playground as it was going to be too small so we did it up at the Double Tree (The Hydro) so we would like to thank them for the use of the space.
Sports Relief Socks
The Sports Relief socks were very popular! Dunblane High School were doing Sports Relief too so they helped us with the socks to get more people involved.
Competitions
We had three competitions which were judged by the teachers and the High School Pupils. The Contests were:
- The Biggest Smile Whilst Running
- The Most Inventive “sock wearing”
- The Best Fancy Dress
Our Winners were, Charles, P2, for the biggest smile, Kirsty, P7, for the wearing the most socks all over her top!!! Our final prize went to Holly, P3, for her beautiful fancy dress costume.
High Visibility Day was a huge success! Everybody came dressed in their brightest clothes possible! It was so bright you would need to wear your sunglasses.
First of all we had a talk from the lollypop man Eric he works on Perth road. We were taught to wear bright clothes for the dark nights coming up.
Eric then helped us to judge ‘Who was wearing the brightest outfit’ competition. We had a look round the hall and tried to decide on two winners. Originally we were only going to have one part to the competition but had to have finalists as it was such a hard decision. There were two categories; primary 1-3 and primary 4-7, the winner of each won an ecological cow torch (basically it was a torch that looked like a cow.)
We had another competition, this time there wasn’t as many entries but still it was a hard decision. The winners of this competition got the same prize as the others, the cow torch.
Altogether it was a great day and it was a fun way to get the message across.
Are you feeling tired? Puffed out? Well, most of the school was, after our Annual Ceilidh! Many of the parents where there, and a few of them joined in. I think I even saw some teachers out there!
First up on the menu was the Canadian Barn Dance, preformed by the buddies. Then came the Gay Gordon’s, the Carcasium Circle and the Dashing White Sergeant, with many encores.
Miss Hughes, the amazing Ceilidh teacher, took us down to the hall during various intervals through the week and taught us all of the dances.
