Primary 7 had a fantastic time at the ‘Superheroes’ event hosted by the Science Department at Uddingston Grammar School. Teachers were dressed up as various superheroes and the children visited different classes to carry out some exciting experiments! Here they are hard at work!
Primary 6 & 7 enjoyed their sponsored circuit and visit from Chris Bennett, Olympian Hammer Thrower. Thank you Millie for demonstrating the exercises at the beginning of the session.
P2 loved having a Scottish athlete who has competed at Olympic level come visit the school yesterday .

The whole school got to take part in fitness stations and P2 loved the challenge!
Here are some more photographs from our ‘Sports for Schools’ afternoon yesterday. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all and we’re still collecting the sponsorship forms until the beginning of February.
