Achiever of the Week.

Touch Rugby

Our school has entered a team to play in the Thursday Touch Rugby Primary League. They have only a few practices before they played. Jess their coach taught them some skills and they started to use them. During the game they often dropped the ball so this week they are going to practice catching and throwing the ball.
Their first game was played against Musselburgh and they won 7 to 3. The player of the day was Jorja. Well done Jorja. The last two weeks it has been rained off so we are hoping that it is fine for our next game.

Being safe while swimming

In our swimming we were learning how to sve someone if they got into trouble and bring them back to the side of the pool. At first it was very strange and hard to do. After a bit of practice and help from our friends we understood what to do.

Oral Health

Oral Health Week

This week saw a visit from the dental therapists to talk about keeping our mouths healthy. They shared how important it is to brush all parts of our mouth. It is also important to think about the food that we eat because this can have an effect on our teeth. After our talk and discussion the children were lucky to receive a special bag that had information, a toothbrush and toothpaste. Many were excited with the new toothbrush and were keen to get home and try the brush out.

Achiever of the week.

*Choir*
On Thursday 21 st October the Choir from North East Valley Normal School participated in the Christmas Kids for Kids performance at the town hall. Wearing tidy bright coloured clothes, the children arrived at 7:15 pm to 9:15. As it is was Christmas theme you saw children with Santa hats / tinsel or Christmas themed earrings…
The students sang their hearts out and really enjoyed the evening. A great time for all. It was a late evening but a successfully one.

Swimming

SWIMMING
Over the past days, the whole school has been learning to swim with Jill Clark Swim School. There are 3 different groups in our class. So far everyone has been having a lot of fun. Room 5 goes first at 8:45 am and we swim for 45 minutes. If you want to watch our brilliant swimmers you are all welcomed. 
