Today was Sport Relief and at Port Ellen we were very sporty, celebrating in style. It was great to see all the children wearing red to raise money for Sport Relief. In the morning the whole school went to the swimming pool to take part in our swimming gala. It was very exciting, with some close run inter-house races! In the end the winners of the relay were Orsay, who also won the house swimming cup. The winning team were Maisie, Emily, Angus and Daniel. The winner of the boys swimming was Daniel Smith, and the girls Emily Logan. Thanks to Karen Siddell for all her help.

In the afternoon after a lovely fish and chips lunch, we went for a mile walk to the playing fields and back. It was lovely and sunny and we collected money on the way, which we added to the money nursery collected in the morning. In the end we had a grand total of £310, so thanks to everyone who contributed to a fun and successful day.
