THERE is no messing with youngsters at Watersheddings Primary School because they know how to defend themselves.
Pupils enjoyed a Tae Kwon Do taster session from Scotland coach Roger Lawrence, a four-time world champion.
Funding from the National Lottery’s Awards For All grant means that a Tae Kwon Do group can be set up at Counthill School on Tuesday and Thursday evenings with pupils from partner schools only having to pay a small fee as well as receiving help towards the cost of kit and equipment.
