Despite the dreich and dreary weather on Monday the 12th of June the spirits of the pupils of North Bute Primary School were not dampened as they made their way along to the Port Park for their annual school sports day. The theme this year was the Highland Games and Mrs Gillies had a plentiful supply of activities to keep everyone busy!

Sports included javelin, hurdles, archery, sprinting, and even caber tossing thrown in for good measure.

The sporting events culminated in races for each year group from primary one to primary seven, a race for siblings and then pupils grabbed parents, grandparents and even the new headmaster Mr Ridgway, to run an adult and pupil race.

After all the strenuous activities the slightly soggy sportsmen and women returned to the school for a well-earned ice cream (or two!)
