Sports day

Tuesday 18Th June 2013  the upper stages all attended down at the field. Parents to come down and watch us too.  Everyone was really good. It was really fun and everyone took part. We are really excited to hear the results. First classes took part in fun races , like  the monkey run,the three legged race, the crab race, football dribbling and the five shirt race. Then every class took part in a flat race. Everyone was pleased that the weather was good enough to hold sports day, epecially the p4s, who had not had a sports day for 2 years!

We are now hoping that the weather is good enough for the Lower Stages to be able to have their sports tomorrow!

Glenshee

The p7s are looking forward to going to Glenshee next week.  They will be staying at the Compass Christian Centre for four nights. They are prepared for their trip, taking walking boots and waterproofs. They will probably be doing some activities like rock climbing, canoeing, orienteering, climbing and other exciting outdoor activities. We are sure they will have a great time!
