Today we were joined by British Gymnast- Liam Davie! Liam won a Silver Medal at the Commonwealth Games in 2014 and is hoping to do the same in 2018.
First of all the whole school took part in a fitness circuit….even the teachers!
After this Liam told us all about his life and what it takes to be a gymnast.
Liam let the children ask him questions and he was impressed by the questions.
His final piece was to show us two backwards somersaults!!
The children who raised money got a poster or postcard or a picture with Liam!
It was a fantastic morning and over £700 was raised by the children.
Liam commented on how Braco was the best school he had visited around Scotland!
Thank you to everyone who came along to our summer show and our Celebration of Achievements Evening!
