During this uncertain time we find it difficult to gain insight into some topics without having visitors to the school. However, we are very fortunate to have a valued member of staff, already in the building,\u00a0 that was able to step in and give the children a special lesson.<\/p>\n

Our very own Loraine was in class to discuss what school was like Long Ago at Portpatrick Primary. Loraine used digital images to discuss with the children what the old Portpatrick School looked like and where it was built. She spoke about the types of food they ate, what lessons they had, some of the rules that were in place and the difference in technology and transport. The children had prepared some interesting questions and unsurprisingly had many many more after the talk. We really must thank Loraine for her time. She gave an excellent talk and the children were thrilled to have a Covid friendly Visitor in school.\u00a0 Below are some photos from the visit.<\/p>\n
