Sporting Events this week (Added 26Sept24)
Our Primary 6/7s had a fabulous opportunity this week to demonstrate their fabulous rugby skills at the Rugby Festival along with other schools from our community. The children had been enjoying weekly rugby sessions with a representative from Biggar Rugby Club over the past few weeks and it showed! We even had some winners - Ella and Pyper from Team England who came first and Jennifer and Leon from team Scotland who came 2nd!
In addition, the Primary 4/5s had a wonderful time at the Football Festival at the grounds of Symington Tinto Football Club. At the start of the day, pupils enjoyed participating in some football drills to develop their skills and to get to know their team mates from across different schools. They then moved onto mini football games, where they were incredibly active! All pupils worked well in their teams and demonstrated that they were ambitious to do well.
Well done to everyone who participated and were fabulous team mates! See our Gallery page for some more photographs from these events.
