Forrester High School Basketball Competition – Christmas sweaters – The Hobbit – Concert at St Giles – Pipe Band

Today’s Five things have been chosen and edited by pupils from Forrester High School.

The new inter-house tournament at Forrester High School continues with the next leg of the competition today in the form of basketball. All years will compete in split and mixed year group teams in order to gain points for their house:  Burns, Redpath or Telford.

This year’s tournament has involved  a mixture of different events from a maths competition to dodgeball taking place in the school. All the houses are currently tying in terms of points, so the basketball today will decide the winning team before the Christmas holidays.
