Eastern Primary School is one of the only schools in Dundee to have over two hours of gym a week. So we have interviewed some of the primary threes and here are their thoughts.

Lauren and Gemma - "The primary 3's like playing with the apparatus and playing sports like hockey, football and basketball. We like circuit tracks and gym is one of our favourite school subjects. We like playing on the astroturf outside when it's nice and sunny".
