Summer P6 & P7 Boys 7 Girls Rugby Club
The P6 and P7 children have been enjoying their Rugby Club sessions with Jonny Cullen, rugby development officer attached to Ballynahinch Rugby Club over recent weeks.
Jonny has been introducing the basic elements of rugby, movement, spatial awareness, flexibility and ball handling to the children. The club has been great fun and has been open to both girls and boys.
We have had the use of the grass Down High School pitches which has been great to allow the children to really have a go!

Table Tennis Club
First meeting of our new table tennis club today. Lots of fun developing skills focusing on our grip, basic rallying and our serve. Emphasis today was on hitting softly and hitting up. Great to see so much progress made in under 60 minutes.
Week 2 - We had a visit from Jing Yi Graham who is the Commonwealth Games Coach (and former player) for Table Tennis Ulster will be in today to see our Table Tennis Club in action from 3pm – 3pm. She had lots of great training ideas and tips to keep our feet moving.
Around the World Club
The P5 and P6 pupils had a great first week at Around the World club! Our first country to learn about was France, so we built the Eiffel Tower using the lego bricks, took a virtual tour of the Louvre museum and tried some yummy French cuisine- croissants!
India - We learned all about India and different aspects of their culture, foods and cooking. Mrs Uddin very kindly brought us in some Indian dishes to try out. The food was amazing!
