Final Weeks in P7

On Tuesday 16th June the Primary 6 and Primary 7 pupils took part in Senior Sports. The children competed against each other to find our Sports Champion boy and girl of 2009. They took part in flat races, long jump, shot putt and basketball shooting. The winners will receive their prizes at the Leavers' Assembly.



In the afternoon the whole school went outside to enjoy an afternoon of sports. The P4-7 classes took part in potted sports and each time the pupils completed a task they won points for their house. At the end of the day the points were totalled and although it was close, the winners were Waverley. Well done to all the pupils who participated. Everyone had a great day!



On Wednesday 17th June the Primary 7s were invited by their Primary 1 buddies to a preview of Fairyland. The buddies collected the P7s and took them to their wonderful classroom to show off all their fabulous work and show them round their room. The room was buzzing with excitement. The primary 7s were very impressed at the high standard of work and really enjoyed their tour from their buddy.

TERM 4

The Primary 7s have almost come to the end of their time in Kirklandneuk but what an exciting and enjoyable term they have had. The children have focussed on many health issues, learning about drugs, Heartstart and first aid. This included how to bandage someone if they are bleeding and we were able to practise our skills on each other. The pupils were learning about the dangers of alcohol and the problem of peer pressure. The pupils carried out role plays to look at this issue.





As part of their drugs education they attended a trip to the SECC called “Choices for Life”. The pupils were taught about the dangers of illegal drugs and alcohol through real life experiences of teenagers and through a play performed by PACE. The children thoroughly enjoyed the trip as they were entertained by various singers and bands including the McDonald Brothers! However, as well as enjoying themselves, the pupils left with an important message about making the right choices in their lives.







Many of the pupils attended the residential trip to Ardgour. The children experienced some fantastic activities such as archery, abseiling, orienteering, canoeing and many more. The pupils were very well behaved and took part in the activities with enthusiasm. The other pupils who remained at school had an activities week organised, where they went on trips to the Science Centre, Robertson Park and Xscape. The children thoroughly enjoyed their week.






The pupils are now preparing for their Leavers' Dance which will be held in the last week. They have been practising their dancing skills, learning Scottish dances ready for their ceilidh.
