Craigour Park PE

Wonderfully busy Community Open afternoon today. Thanks to everyone for coming along and making it such a great event! @CraigourFamily

Yesterday we started a movement (dance) block with P3. At the start it doesn't have to be complicated choreography, give them a toy, simple instructions and a basic understanding of song structure and see what they can create!

Venn diagram PE: somewhere in the space between basketball and dance lies P6s PE this week … don’t really know what it is but P6 were all amazing!

Ahhhhhh

WHOLESOME CONTENT ALERT! The nursery have been coming out with their P6 buddies every week to play and start getting a feel for PE in big school. Not sure who has more fun really...

Safe Risk Assessed Routes

Great warm up with P7M

Thanks so much to Ali from @soulcycles_ed and Big Rab @ActiveSchoolsED for our new bikes! We love them! So many Craigour kids will get to ride them over the years to come.

🎃 Halloween Multisports Camp 🎃 A week of spooky fun, with lots of sports, games and Halloween tricks. Join us at Liberton High School in partnership with Active Schools.

Amazing morning out on the Astro with P6PD

Wee games of tower blast, mat ball & slide bag in P4 this morning. P4s playing & self refereeing their own games. Amazing!

P7M basketball cone ball. 5 teams 5 areas to score 4 balls Great play!

It can be easy to misunderstand exactly how play works. To do it well it's actually a skill that must be taught. So today our P5 play experts came into the gym hall to help teach the P1s to expand their play horizons. Wonderful things ensued...

Ahhhhhhhhhh …….

With the younger kids we play a lot of 'ish' games to get ready for the real thing. Benchball is 'Basketballish'. Here the P3s are learning to shoot, find space, block passes, communicate when passing, learning about the importance of rebounds, catch the ball, and have fun!

Really difficult things made to look easy by some P6s this morning. Great control!

P6PD started their lesson with 4 x 20 second speed and strength efforts this morning. Ready, steady Go!

27 hats out running relays round Ellen’s Glen this morning.

P6L & P6R basketball. Great play!

We start every lesson by working on our fitness: our Speed, Stamina & Strength. P5P chose to run for 3 or 5 mins to develop our running stamina, then played some tug of war for our strength and then did some 20 second bursts of sprinting, skipping & 1/2 press ups. Fit kids!

All our classes are playing throw & catch games this term. Here’s P4A with some great throwing & catching this afternoon!
