Rothesay Primary recently presented Primary 2 with their special teddies. The teds are special because there is nothing they like better that a good book! The children and their parents and carers have all promised to look after their bears by reading them at least one book per week and remembering to change the books every week at the library.
Lochdonhead playgound development
The pupils of Lochdonhead Primary School have planned, resourced, gained funding, and overseen the development of their school playground, creating a story glen, based on an old Gaelic tale, Iolaire Loch Treig. The pupils have worked with various artists and they are even working with pupils in a secondary school in Harrogate, who are designing wooden story boards based on our children’s designs.
We now have a fantastic imaginative play area, including a willow dome with tunnels, a willow cave and a log ringed area.
