Ethan Horn (P7) proudly showing off his medals won at last night’s South Lanarkshire Schools Swimming Gala.
Ethan improved on his qualifiying times in each of his events (shaving 5 full seconds off one of his times) and won a medal in every one.
Silver: 50m Backcrawl
Silver: 50m Breaststroke
Bronze: 50m Fly
He says that he is actually better at long distances but his age group have to do 50m so watch this space as he moves onto longer distances. Lots more medals to follow.
Well done, Ethan.
Katie Hughes (P7) who won 3rd place in the Jeffrey McFadden Academy Under 11s Irish Dancing Competition.
Well done Katie.

Silver Medal – For Partnership (with Abbie being the Base – the person doing the throwing!)
Trophy – Individual Award – for most improved gymnast 2013
Well done Abbie
Back from the Great Scottish Run family events today, where Jamie, Jude and I did the family mile after Jamie completed the Junior Run.
I met, and got my picture taken with, Team Cahill!
Post your comments if you were there but I just didn’t see you (and good luck to any mums or dads doing the 10k or half marathon tomorrow!)
Arran Kelly (P5) with his haul of football trophies, including one for most improved player after his move from being a defender to playing up front. In his new role as a striker he has now scored 101 goals for his team, Cambuslang FC.
Greg McPartlin (P5) and Trinity McPartlin (P1) found some lost frogs in their garden and after some tender loving care here they are on the way to the burn after school to release them back into their more natural habitat.
Well done to all of our newly elected pupil council members, who now have their badges and have had their first meeting.
