Good morning everyone! The sun is shining again on Day 2 of St. Mary’s Health Week. How did you get on yesterday? Did you manage to start any of the suggested activities or Sports Day activities?
An important reminder about Sports Day:
- You can earn 10 House Points points for taking part in one of the Sports Day activities.
- There are 6 Sports Day activities. So, in total, you could potentially earn a maximum of 60 points for your House.
- You will not earn any House points for taking part in the suggested Health Week activities.
- In order to earn the points, you must send in photos or videos of you taking part, or a list of your scores.
- If you send 6 photos/videos/scores of the 6 Sports Day activities you will earn 60 House points.
- Send evidence to: wlstmaryspol-ps@westlothian.org.uk
