On Wednesday, 20 members from our P7 class took part in the Sportshall Athletics East Regional Championships at the Jack Kane Centre in Edinburgh. This is where the top two schools from City of Edinburgh, East Lothian, Midlothian, West Lothian and the Borders take part in activities which include: 4 x 100m, over/under relay, obstacle relay, 6 lap parlauff, 2 lap relay, 1 lap relay, javelin, speed bounce, long jump, vertical jump, triple jump and chest push.

Our team placed 8th overall. Kirknewton Primary finished 10th which means although we were not crowned Champions on the day, we are the top performing school out of 67 in West Lothian. Another fantastic achievement. On the day our children demonstrated resilience, perseverance, motivation and superb sportsmanship. We cheered on the winners and all the other competitors and enjoyed a really great event.
