MATP Challenge Event πŸ…

On Monday afternoon we hosted our second Special Olympics Motor Activity Training Programme (MATP) Challenge Event.

Once again, our athletes from Hopetoun, Lomond, Pentland and Glendevon were absolutely phenomenal! πŸ…

They shone with confidence and energy, proudly showcasing the incredible skills they’ve been working so hard to develop in training. Their effort and determination were fantastic to see β€” we couldn’t be prouder! πŸ’ͺπŸ‘

We also loved reading the positive feedback about the skills your young athletes worked on – it’s fantastic to see their hard work and progress being recognised!🌟

Thought he done amazing.

It was good to see him trying to do something that requires coordination.

Great to see Matthew making such an effort to roll over and knock down the bottles!!

Really good to see Theas legs being worked and from bench.

It was such a busy afternoon, so a huge thank you to the parents and carers who shared photos β€” we loved seeing all the special moments captured! πŸ“Έ

Finally, a special thank you and well done to one of our senior pupils who took on the important role of equipment assistant – your help made a real difference! πŸ™Œ

🌟 Well done to everyone involved – you were amazing! 🌟
