This week Primary 7 pupils visited Primary 1 and Primary 1/2 to share their learning. As part of their language and literacy work, P7 have been working on writing in Scots. They rewrote the Gruffalo in Scots and illustrated their own books. The classes then shared their work with P1 and P1/2 . Everyone had a wonderful afternoon sharing and learning together.
On Wednesday P7 had a visit from Homefront Histories. The pupils had a fantastic time carrying out a range of engaging and active learning activities relating to their WW2 topic.

On Friday afternoon last week a group of P7’s came down to P1 to help us plant various seeds as part of our ‘In the Garden’ topic work. We worked in groups and when we were finished we also had fun making plasticene flowers together. Last but by no means least the P7’s volunteered to read us some stories. Thank you P7 and come back soon!
