Mark Deans – Scottish Open Water Swimmer

uplawmoor-38-2 uplawmoor-13-2 uplawmoor-24-2 uplawmoor-26-2The boys and girls were lucky enough to meet Mark Deans, who is a Scottish Open Water swimmer.    He talked to the boys and girls about his time in Australia where he was training for 3 months.  He said he preferred it to being in a pool as it was more challenging and exciting.  He told the children he even saw a shark during this training!

Mark has a true love for water if he’s not swimming you’ll find him by the sea kite surfing which is his favourite sporting activity (apart from swimming obviously)!

Mrs Gray’s retirement

Mrs Gray has retired after working in Uplawmoor Primary for 18 short years.  The whole school put on a show which celebrated Mrs Gray’s retirement.  We sang some songs and the P7s shared their favourite memories of Mrs Gray.  The instrumentalists played some of Mrs Gray’s favourite music, including Katie’s version of Titanic.  To top it off, the Glee club performed ‘Time of your Life’ as a tribute to her imaginary boyfriend (Patrick Swayze

Mrs Gray gave P6/7 and P4/5 a tub of chocolates and P1-3 received a box of Haribos.  We had a wonderful afternoon and we hope Mrs Gray and her family enjoyed themselves.

We will miss you Mrs Gray!   By Luca P7
