On Friday 24th October we went to the Queens Hall to see Smoke Free Me! The actors were fantastic. In the show the characters were called Ziggy with the Ciggy, Willie Tryit and Claire Air. The show was about a time machine and Willie Tryit and Claire Air tried to stop Ziggy from smoking. Ziggy went back in time to meet a tobacco lord and a scientist who talked about the link between lung cancer and cigarettes. We sang songs and a rap! They were called Smoke Free Me, Make Smoking History and Keep it to yourself.

Raspberry Pi computing @ Dunoon Primary School
Pupils from Dunoon Primary have enjoyed using their I.C.T. skills to learn the basic principles of computer programming using Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card-sized computer developed in the UK costing around £30. It runs open source software and can be connected to a computer screen or TV. It’s a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games.
The Raspberry Pi is designed to be a motivating platform with the goal of making programming straightforward.

They look forward to showcasing their skills and talents to Education Scotland next week.
