The Second Scottish Mind Olympics will be held on Saturday 26 April at Davidson’s Mains  Primary School in Edinburgh. This year, for the very first time, Scotland will be sending a team to compete at the International Mind Olympics in Istanbul, and all of the competitors are extremely excited, and aim to be the ones that get to represent their country!
Arriving at the competition, will be thirteen teams from thirteen different schools, each team consisting of the four most valuble players in each of the Olympic games.
Mr D Edwards, Head Teacher at Davidson’s Mains, will present the awards to the Scottish Winners on the day. “We are delighted to host this event”, he said, adding “two of our teachers are undergoing training in the methodology and they are making a big impact on the pupils and in the school”.
As mentioned, the children are thrilled at the opportunity. We bring here several testimonials:
