This helps us get lots of physical activity, learn skills and team work.  
In school we take part in at least 2 hours of Physical Education every week.

Thank you to Orkney Rugby Club for the coaching.  This year Mark Sinclair will join Bruce Ruthven to coach.  Mark is 16 years and went to Stromness Academy. He has been interested in Rugby since P1 and now play in the Orkney Under 18s team.

The support we receive from parent helpers makes these events possible.  If you can be a parent helper please contact the school office (873648). 

P7s must wear tracksuit trousers, training shoes and waterproof, warm top layers of clothing.
