The Calcutta Cup, awarded to the winner of the annual Scotland vs. England rugby match during the 6 Nations Rugby Championships is coming to Edinburgh!! The cup was won by Scotland during last year’s 15-9 victory against England at Murrayfield and in partnership with the Scottish Rugby Union, Active Schools is giving you a chance to see and get your photograph taken with one of rugby’s most famous trophies.
The cup will be at Meggetland Sports Complex between 2-4pm on Friday 17th October. Opportunities will be available for photographs with the cup between 2-2.30pm and 3.30-4pm. There will also be a free “come and try” session of rugby between 2.30-3.30pm on the back pitches, with all P5-7’s welcome to attend. All you need are your trainers, jogging bottoms, a drink and your camera. Mums and Dads are more than welcome too!!

P6 Cycle Training
Cycle training has now come to an end and despite some very wet days the children all made great progress. A big thank you to volunteers Cathy Scott, Alison Platts, Martin Richards, Isobel Walker, Shona Bellward, Pam Billina, Morag Hayes, Katy Aukland and Vivienne Pritchett without whom cycle training would not have been so successful.
ACTIVE SCHOOLS
The P5’s have been getting to grips with their cricket skills this term, through a block of Kwik Cricket taster sessions in the school playground on Mondays and Wednesdays this term. The sessions have been coached by Bill Polson, from the Edinburgh South Cricket Club based at the Inch, and current Scotland cricketer and City of Edinburgh cricket development officer Gordon Drummond.
The pupils have participated in 6 weeks of coaching, starting with fun relay races and hand eye coordination games before progressing onto basic bowling and batting skills and then more advanced batting and fielding. Each session culminates in a mini game, with the pupils testing their skills against each other, which always ends up very competitive and closely fought!
The taster sessions have been hugely popular with the pupils and many thanks must go to Bill and Gordon for all their help and hard work over the block and also for their gift of a Kwik Cricket set to the school to ensure cricket continues during PE.
If your child is interested in participating in cricket on a regular basis, or you would like to find out more information on Kwik Cricket or the Edinburgh South Cricket Club, please contact Bill at billpolson@tiscali.co.uk or on 0131 620 8716. Alternatively, for cricket opportunities across the city, please contact Gordon Drummond at gordon@sporting-chance.org or on 07771666614.
We are currently looking at starting a Sciennes Cricket team started after Christmas to compete in the new national primary school cricket competition, kicking off in term 3, so watch this space or contact Active Schools Coordinator Gael Logan at Gael.Logan@sciennes.edin.sch.uk or on 07799861473 for more information.
