Today we had Mrs Ross come and cook for us! She made some fantastic Japanese stir fry food with Udon noodles. We then had traditional Japanese pancakes with fresh fruit and cream. We loved it! We also tasted Wasabi peanuts and seaweed crackers which were very spicy!
We all had a great time and we would like to thank Mrs Ross for taking the time to cook for us, we thoroughly enjoyed it!
ibike Obstacle Course
The wet and miserable weather today didn’t stop some of our P6 and P7 pupils from getting on their bikes and taking part in an ibike obstacle course with Katie our ibike leader. Children braved the rain and had a fantastic time developing their cycling skills going over various ramps, jumps and beams.
P5 Group 1 water sports
The first group of Primary Fives visited Carlingwark Loch yesterday with Mrs Graham and Mrs Robison to carry out some fun activities with the Outdoor Education team.

Some even braved the cold and snow to have a little swim at the end!
Well done!
