Why not try the bikeability course organised by the Active Schools Team this summer.

Meeting a Professional Athlete

On Friday, we were treated to a visit from Sean Corrigall.  Sean is a professional rower who is about to represent Scotland again next month.  It was really inspiring to meet someone who comes from Orkney and is competing alongside Olympic Gold Medallists.  He told us about how he got involved in rowing and the kind of training he has to do.  We were surprised to hear about the hours he trains for and how much he has to eat to give him enough energy.

 

We were not able to access his website on the school computers but it is really worth having a look at.

Watch out for him competing for Scotland in the home countries regatta this summer and hopefully in the Commonwealth Games next year.

 



Muddisdale Storytelling Dens

 

Today we went to Muddisdale to build storytelling dens and tell our traditional tales to P2T.

After the storytelling we had a treasure hunt, then some of the P2 children retold our stories back to us or told their own stories!

Orkney summer flowers on the maritime heath

 

Here are some of Orkney's flowers growing on the maritime heath at Mull Head.

How many can you identify?

This habitat is very similar to another we have studied recently - can you guess which?

Picking Up Three Pieces at School!

 

Today we got new tabards and used the litter pickers which P2 got for our Pick Up Three Pieces initiative to make 3 teams of litter pickers in the playground!
