Fact Families

Watch this Space! Lights, Camera, Action!!!

To help next year’s new Primary 1’s get to know our school and meet some of the children and grown-ups before they come in the summer, we are going to be working with the other classes to record a ‘Welcome to our St Ninian’s Family’ mini movie using our i pads.  Before we start recording we are going to share some of the things we were worried or unsure about before we came to school. We are also going to tell everyone what we love about our school.  Miss Thompson will then put it all together with the help of some older children. We can’t wait to see how it turns out!
