I received two visitors over the last few days, both came to tell me about their achievements out of school.<\/p>\n

A young karate activist with his certificate saying he has attained yellow belt level. He proudly holds his yellow belt in his other hand!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Firstly, a young man from Primary 3 presented himself at my office with a rather large certificate and a yellow belt.<\/p>\n

This pupil attends karate class at St Machar Academy, along with some other pupils from Riverbank School. Despite only learning karate for 6 months he has, already, achieved his white and his yellow belt.<\/p>\n

I asked what he liked about his karate class and what made him want to go back every Wednesday and his answer was that he loved doing kicks. His favourite was a swing kick but he can also carry out side kicks. I was interested to find out that as the learners move through the different colours of belt, the difficulty level of the kicks changes.<\/p>\n

He also told me that they practised by pretending to hit someone but that in competitions they have bouts with each other and for safety reasons they have to wear a gum shield to protect their gums and teeth.<\/p>\n

I look forward to hearing about my karate player’s progress in the future. Well<\/p>\n

Our Primary 2 gymnast who has achieved her bronze level in gymnastics.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

done!<\/p>\n

Secondly, a young lady from Primary 2 came to show me her certificate and badge. She had received these for gymnastics.<\/p>\n

She told Mr Flanagan, her class teacher, that she received a bronze level award from her gymnastics club during a recent competition. The award was handed out by the President of the British Gymnastic Club.<\/p>\n

One skill which is a bit tricky,\u00a0 is making bridges but our young gymnast has told me that she is good at making bridges.<\/p>\n

She works very hard at her gymnastics and enjoys learning new skills as well as meeting with new friends.<\/p>\n

Very impressive! Keep working hard at your gymnastics!<\/p>\n
