Flavahans Primary Cross Country Round 1

On Tuesday a record number of 24 boys and girls across P5-P7 competed in the Flavahans Primary School Cross Country Competition at Henry Jones Playing Fields. It was great to see so many pupils willing to participate and enjoy keeping active!

A massive well done to both the boys team who finished in a fantastic 3rd place and also the girls team who finished in an excellent 5th place overall in their team races.

There were some fantastic individual performances as well, most notably with Reuben finishing an impressive 4th overall in the mixed fun run and Matthew L finishing 6th, Lucas 9th and Isla 10th with some super fast times in a very competitive field in both the girls and boys team races!

A massive well done to all the boys and girls who took part and enjoyed the opportunity to challenge themselves while having fun and keeping fit! You all did HPS proud!

Thanks to Mr Lockington as the parent representative and for all the parents who helped out on the day. photo cred: Mrs Crowe :)

Sports Day 2019

The day was dry for most of our SPORTS DAY events this year!

A well organised P5 - P7 Sports Day at Sullivan Playing Fields saw the children taking part in individual finals and team events. They used a range of athletic skills to earn points for their Houses and win medals. The  fabulous Tug of War competition brought much excitement too! The enthusiastic and very loud support for all participants could be heard far and wide! The banners and pom poms were amazing this year! 

The overall winners of House Sports Day 2019 were Red House!

Our P1- P4 boys and girls had a lovely morning  at their annual Sports Day. Running, throwing, relay races, sack, egg and spoon and obstacle races were thoroughly enjoyed by the children and the many spectators. It was lovely to see the children leave very proud of their vast collection of competitor stickers on their t-shirts!

WELL DONE TO EVERYONE INVOLVED! Enjoy looking at some more photos in the gallery section of the website.
