Presenting our new Ipads!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Portpatrick Primary have had a great learning boost as a result of our links with local Industry employer, Lactalis McLelland.<\/p>\n

Mr Nick Dietz, HR Manager, very kindly donated 5 Ipad minis to our school to help support our digital literacy development.<\/p>\n

The children are thrilled to be able to now access a wider range of technology to enhance our learning across the curriculum.<\/p>\n

Mr Dietz gave his time to talk to the children about the skills for work that a company such as our local creamery look for in an employee. He also chatted about how science, technology, engineering and maths are used to run an efficient organisation;\u00a0 making the cheeses we all know and love.<\/p>\n

We are keen to expand the quantities of Ipads we hold to allow greater engagement.\u00a0 To this aim, the school is pursuing funding options to allow us to do so.\u00a0 Watch this space…<\/p>\n

A very big thank you is given to Mr Dietz and Lactalis McLelland for their generosity.<\/p>\n
