Primary 5 French Breakfast

Primary 5 pupils enjoyed practising their French conversation during our French Breakfast. They ordered breakfast items for each other and enjoyed tasting a selection of traditional breakfast items. Mrs Dyson and Primary 5 pupils  would like to say a special thank you to Mrs Kinghorn for organising the event. Merci Madame Kinghorn! As this was Mrs Kinghorn’s final session in our class, we surprised her with a special thank you card.
