A great time was had today by P1 at Edinburgh Zoo and by P2-4 at the Safari Park. The children’s behaviour was excellent and they really enjoyed the learning opportunities which these trips give – well done, everyone and a big thank you to all the staff for their efforts.

P7 Continental Breakfast at St Paul’s
Our P7s who are going to St Paul’s after the summer enjoyed a Continental Breakfast today at St Paul’s courtesy of the Modern Languages department. A good feast was had by all, and the children showed off the considerable learning progress they have made in French with Miss Smith and Mrs Dammer this year. A big thank you to Mrs Doig for transporting everyone up in the St Paul’s minibus, and to all the St Paul’s staff who were very welcoming. The children also received a pack explaining what will be going on during their 3 day visit on 7/8/9 June.
