On Tuesday P4/5 enjoyed a Judo Taster session.
'It was funny because we had to take our shoes off!' Amie
'My favourite part was when me and Finlay were doing moves on each other. It was really really fun.' Calum
'I liked when I got Hamish on the floor.' Lewis
'My most liked bit was when I had to crouch into a ball and Arlo had to roll over me.' Harry
'I had fun flipping Gurmaneik and getting him on the ground.' Danny
'My favourite bit was when we went back to back and had to try and get our partner turned over on their back.' Thomas
'I thought Judo was fun because I like doing rolls and wrestling.' Iskra
'It was fun. Finlay was very good and so was Calum.' Kathleen

We were all excited, and then Mrs Moloney met us outside at 12.45pm. We had a hilarious time. We saw Kjartan Poskitt. He showed us some maths tricks. He was really mad. The whole crowd invented the number M. Chloe was demonstrating at the front. She had to cut up some paper, She was laughing.
Friends of Leith Primary are now organising for Primary 5 children to have a course of ski lessons at Hillend this term. Last session all P7, P6 and P5 children also had a 6 week course so it is fantastic news that even more children will now get this opportunity at a hugely reduced cost. Lessons will start on Monday 27th September.
This week and next all classes will be visiting the book festival to meet authors and illustrators. Because of the cake sale money from last year many of the classes have been able to go for free or very cheaply.
P3 thought Simon Puttock was really funny when he read from his books and some of us bought a book which he signed. The next day we were very lucky to go on a trip to the City Arts Centre where we listened to some amazing stories, looked at the Art Exhibitions, listened to music on a flute and a Chinese harp, saw some tricks, went up the musical lift and then down the musical stairs. The morning was jam packed yet we even had time to walk through the Waverley station and see some trains.
