Leave a comment

Here are some lovely photos of our Rookie Rockstars taken from backstage at Thursday night’s concert. Apologies if we did not manage to get a photo of your child. They were so excited that it was hard to pin them down for more than a few seconds at a time!

What a terrific night and thank you to all of our Rookie Rockstars. You were amazing!

If you click on the photos, you should be able to scroll through them and see the full picture.

Not put off by less than fantastic weather, Murrayfield Primary School Sports Day 2016 went ahead. Pupils from each class took part in a wide range of athletic challenges to earn points for their house, Bruce, Douglas, Stewart or Wallace.

After a titanic struggle the results are as follows:

1st Bruce – 1740 points

2nd Douglas – 1710 points

3rd Wallace – 1660 points

4th Stewart – 1640 points

Well done to everyone who took part and a big congratulations to everyone in Bruce for their winning score.

And finally a massive thanks to all the parents and carers who turned up on the day to support the event.
