Club Golf

The P5’s won the Broughton Cluster golf competition. They were a credit to the school. Well done! The team will now be attending the next round of the city wide tournament. Good luck!

Chess
A super report from our Chess Players:
We had 8 players from Flora's at Wester Hailes on Sunday 23 March, playing in two different competitions.

Beth, Benedict, Philip and Wojciech played in the UK Chess Championship Last Chance Saloon. Many congratulations to Philip and Wojciech who are through to the Mega Final in April, and well done to Beth who was playing in her first competition. 

Also playing in a competition for the first time was Avinash, who was thrown in at the deep end and played board one for our P5 and under team in the Lothian Schools League, alongside Khaliq, Florence and Kassey. After our fantastic success in the last competition we were promoted to the A league and played against well established and experienced A teams from other Lothian schools. So Avinash, in his first competition, was facing the best player from each of the other schools. The whole team played very well and kept on trying their best against very tough opponents. They really did the school and themselves proud.

 

We hope you all have an enjoyable Easter Break. Thank you for all your support this term. It is very much appreciated.
