Katie, Mia, Boris and Mhairi Medal Success |
Thank you to Mrs Beth Walker, one of our PE Specialists and Swimming Teacher, for organising and compering the Edinburgh Primary School Sports Association (EPSSA) Swim and Dive Gala event for all city primary schools on Wednesday 1st April at the Royal Commonwealth Pool. Great to see Mr Jonathan Wallace (our Active Sports Co-ordinator) at the event, too. Thanks to Mrs Cynthia Berry, our other PE Specialist, for her pep talk and tips! It was a thoroughly enjoyable event for all 500 children competing. Thank you to all the families who lent their support and cheered everyone on. All our P7 swimmers swam well in the Breaststroke (6th), Backstroke (4th) and Front Crawl (3rd) heat races and managed to reach the Finals of the Front Crawl. We had many entrants to the Diving competition and remarkable success in this event with Mia W and Boris achieving Gold medals, Katie a Silver and Mhari a Bronze! Great sporting attitudes from all our pupils, cheering on all competitors – especially our JGHS cluster friends! Well done all!
A team photo was taken which will be published in due course.
