Today was the day, we’d all been waiting for. Mrs Baillie had checked the weather, once, twice, one hundred times hoping for a dry afternoon, and that’s exactly what we got!🤞 With our eggs, spoons, sacks and ropes at the ready, we trooped over the park for our annual sports day!😄
Over the past couple of weeks, we had been heading over to the park for some practice and today the boys and girls were very excited to show off their racing skills to their friends and families. 🏅Our fabulous House Captains, Colin (Lochnaw) and Rachael (Soleburn) had organised for us to take part in a full programme of events; the sprint, skipping, sack, egg and spoon, obstacle and long-distance races and finally the relay.
Our Fabulous P7 House Captains
A big thank you to all the families and supporters who came along this afternoon and created such a lovely atmosphere and to Rachael and Colin our fabulous P7 House Captains for their great organisation and for keeping everything running like clockwork. 🫡And to Gordon from the shop who kindly donated a well needed bottle of water for every pupil and a caramel egg – a perfect sweet surprise to finish a fabulous Friday!🍫
It was so lovely to watch everybody demonstrate such fantastic sportsmanship, encouraging one another and giving everything their best go! The atmosphere was filled with laughter, encouragement, applause and the occasional dramatic finish-line finish! we had some tired legs and smiling faces by the end and plenty of funny tales to tell. Sports day is always a great way to show that winning od always exciting, but it’s the taking part and having fun that makes the afternoon so special and our fabulous Leswalt crew exemplify this amazingly! We are so incredibly proud of everybody and hope they are too!😍
Results to follow next week, and our Sports Champion boy and girl this year to be revealed at the Closing Ceremony.. but for now, enjoy some funny action shots!😅🙂
