Football festival

We had a fantastic time when we went to Papdale School and took part in the Football Festival for Primary 4 pupils.  There were children from Glaitness, Papdale, Shapinsay, Burray and St Margaret's Hope (we think!).

We all enjoyed playing football and doing the drills to help with our skills and fitness.  We were also very lucky with the weather and the sun shone the whole morning!  Please have a look at our photos to see how much fun we had!

Kindness week

St Andrews Primary has had a 'Kindness Week' this week, and each class were given a task to do during the week to make us think more about what being kind means.  Primary 4 were asked to think about the meaning of the word kindness and we worked in groups to think about this.  We thought of different words that came into our minds when we thought of kindness and then we made posters to explain what we think kindness means.

 

When we had finished our posters we then went around to look at each others posters and wrote kind comments about they had done well.

 

Here are some photos which were taken while we were working on this task.

 

We also each secretly got the name of someone else in the class and our challenge is to be kind to them throughout next week. We are not supposed to tell anyone who our secret friend is! This is something we will try to do all the time, but we will make an extra special effort to do this next week. Hopefully Primary 4 will leave comments here to let everyone know how this went.

Ms Rendall was very happy when Primary 7 came to deliver a

flower that they had for her -

this was a very kind thing to do!

 

Fun in the snow ....

We were very excited last week because there was some snow!  We went out on Friday afternoon just before home time and had some time playing - it was just a shame it all disappeared over the weekend!

Children in Need

Primary 3 did a fantastic job of organising lots of activities to raise money for Children in Need on Friday.  We had lots of fun and would like to thank Mrs Kirkness and Primary 3 for all their hard work.

 

Please click on the link below to take a look at some of the photos that were taken on Friday - St Andrews School raised £613.90 altogether which is just fantastic.

Rugby

We had our first rugby session last Wednesday, and another just today - it is lots of fun and although Ms Rendall does not agree, we never think it is cold when we are playing!

 

There are lots of skills we have to learn when playing tag rugby - for example passing and catching the ball, swerving, running, working as a team and lots more.
 

 

It is also very important that we listen to Bruce, or any of the other coaches, who give up their time to come and teach us how to play.

 

Please add any comments or more information about playing tag rugby if you would like to do so, especially Primary 4!
