🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Active Schools Summer Series Fun Run Champions Success 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Active Schools hold a weekly Fun Run series at various locations in Aberdeen for P4 - P7 in April/May. The top runners who participated in at least three of the four events are invited to attend the “Champion of Champions” race over ~1,600m which was held yesterday.

We had five participants invited to the race with boys from P5 & P6 and three P7 girls.

We’re delighted that the girls took 1st, 2nd and 4th place. Also, this meant a clean sweep of 🥇 in the past four years for our Kingswells winner and the other two have either podiumed or placed highly every year as well.

We know there were many more of our pupils that attended these weekly runs, so well done to all that participated in the Fun Run series and enjoy your medals when you get them.

Congratulations to our maths superstars who attended Aberdeen University today to receive their Scottish Mathematical Council awards. 🎉

Across our Primary 7’s they achieved 10 awards which consisted of
🥇 3 gold
🥈 6 silver
🥉 1 bronze

Well done 👏

👏 Volunteer Appreciation Week 👏

One of our fabulous after-school netball coaches and one of her brilliant academy aged helpers were presented with awards at the Active Schools volunteer event last week. 🎉

We would like to all thank the parents, carers and teachers who volunteer so our children can experience and enjoy activities.

There are too many to name so I don’t want to miss anyone out but you are all so appreciated.

If children have been representing the school at an activity and you think they deserve a shout-out, please let us know and we can do that. We don’t know everything going on so you need to tell us so we can share with the wider community.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏊‍♀️ Scottish Schools Swimming Success 🎉

The Scottish Schools competition finals were held at ASV on 4th & 5th June.

Kingswells pupils were entered in both the team relays and as individuals and we’re delighted to share the results of a successful meet.

🥈&🥉 Session one saw the relay team of Lucy, Tegan, Mia and Willow come second in the Medley relay 200m and then went on to claim third in the Front crawl medley relay 👏

🥉 Lucy and Willow were also selected to represent the region and came third in the medley relay 200m 😃

The second session included Willow and Lucy competing in individual events and both got through to the national finals!

🥇 Willow swam a championship winning performance and has been crowned the 12 years & under 50m Breaststroke individual champion (and is also fastest in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💪)

Lucy was 6th in the 50m butterfly individual national final. 😁

What amazing performances and well done to everyone who competed 👏🎉

Looking ahead, our final PTA meeting of the session will take place on
🗓️ Tuesday 9th June
🕰️ 6.30pm
📍 Kingswells School.

With some members stepping down, we are keen to welcome new volunteers. No experience is needed—why not come along with a friend or two? You will be very warmly welcomed. We would particularly encourage families from our younger year groups (Nursery, P1 and P2) to consider getting involved, as representation from these stages has been lower and these year groups are the future of our school—your involvement and voice would be especially valued.

On the same evening, the Parent Council will also hold its final meeting of the session at 6.30pm in the school. The main focus of this meeting will be to gather parental feedback on how well Kingswells School is doing and to explore ideas for future improvement. If you would like to share your views, suggestions or ideas, we would be delighted to see you there.

There are so many ways parents, carers and teachers volunteer for the pupils benefit. It could be by being on the PTA or Parent Council, coaching an after-school sports team, going on school trips, science club, running club, Glee, coding club, and many more. We’re grateful to everyone who shares their skills and expertise to give our pupils excellent opportunities.
