Primary 6 were taking part in CPR training.   NHS staff came in to share with us how to administer CPR correctly and also showed us how to  help someone who is choking.

The weather was kind to us on Sports Day. Here are some photographs from the day.

Primary 6 pupils attended Dumfries High School on Friday 10th May to take part in a crime scene investigation day. They took part in experiments to solve the clues to identify the thief and who stole the chocolate.

Primary 6 have been studying properties of 3D shapes with Miss Hunter. Working in twos’, pupils had to use their nets to construct a 3D shape. They then had to write how many faces, edges and vertices each shape had.

Attached is Primary 6’s newsletter for Term 4. Please note important dates on your calendar.
