Primary school pupils from across Aberdeen took part in last week's youth games.

Now in its fourth year, the games were launched by Robert Gordon University's sport and exercise science team, and has won multiple physical activity awards.

The games are also supported by North East Scotland College (NEScol) and this year's activities were attended by 1400 pupils from 46 city primary schools at Aberdeen Sports Village on Friday.

At the festival, pupils participated in a number of skills-based sporting activities, such as rugby, basketball, football and hockey.

Each activity used the skills they have learned from in-school coaching by RGU and NEScol students over the course of the term.

Each pupil who participated in the festival received a special commemorative medal which was designed by P5/6 Kaimhill School pupil Marta Stachowska as part of a competition with Gray's School of Art.

Dame Katherine Grainger said: "It's fantastic to see so many young people taking part in such a great variety of sports and activities.

"For me it's not only important that they learn skills, both sporting and life skills, but they also have great fun and that's certainly what we've seen today.

"The enthusiasm, joy and spirit is absolutely infectious and I hope that's something that will continue here in Aberdeen."
