✨⭐️ Granite City Championship ⭐️✨

We had a few girls travel to Aberdeen on Sunday to compete in the granite city championship, pre premier competition ✨

The girls all tried super hard and we watched some lovely dancing throughout the afternoon.

The primary 5s each had a first place and between the three girls had 4 firsts in their primary section. You all push each other and it was really lovely watching you all. Amazing results and beautiful dancing, lots of corrections made! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lottie, Lily-Jane and Eloise did brilliantly in beginners. Lottie managed a first place in the highland fling. And all three girls gained another stamp on their cards. You all pushed hard on Sunday, and it was great watching improvements being made. What super results ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Iona and Flora did super in the Novice section. Flora had a very large group and gained another stamp on her card. Iona was runner up in her novice section and won a beautiful trophy to take home. Excelent girls ⭐️⭐️

Maisie and Ella did really well in Intermediate. Ella recently moved up into intermediate and for the first time did her Barracks Johnnie. Very well danced Ella. Maisie was the winner of her Intermediate section, her first overall win in Intermediate. Lovely dancing ⭐️⭐️

Keep working hard girls 🩷❤️🩵💛💙💚💙🩷🩷🩵

💙Dryrobes Appreciation Post💙

Now that the Highland Games season is over, we want to thank Createfour Jennifer Ironside (Montrose), who did the beautiful printing on our Dryrobes we purchased from Snuggz UK!

She made our design so detailed and clear! We couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! And as for the quality…..the dryrobes have kept the girls warm and cosy (on the very few days it was needed) ☔️ we have been so lucky to have a brilliant summer ☀️ but they’ll be needed even more after class now the winter months are coming in fast! ❄️

We will be doing some fundraising to purchase the rest of the school dryrobes so please feel free to support these events x

The brollies we designed ourselves on Canvas Champ UK! Which also came out better than expected! 🌂

Thank you 🩵
