Dale’s Fence
It is the time of year when we harvest our willow. We are taking this chance to improve our fences. Dale in Primary 2
has been helping to create a new willow fence. We thank him for helping.
Programming
We have been quietly introducing programming to our curriculum this year. Our children are really taking to it. Here we see Matthew working on an on going project of his. The enthusiasm and ability to latch onto the possibilities that the software offers is hugely encouraging. You can find out more about Scratch and even try it yourself for free via the link on our Homework Activities toolbar at the right hand side of this blog.
The True Spirit Of Christmas
One of our pupils, Daisy, has been thanked by a local charity and a local MSP for her work to make Christmas a nicer experience for other people. For the second year, Daisy has been saving her pocket money to buy advent calendars for other people. This year she saved enough for 28 calendars, that she donated to The First Base Agency in Dumfries. We would like Daisy to know how proud of her we are.
