The children recently took part in a wonderful African experience and they didn’t even leave the school building!  Using the latest in Virtual Reality technology, every pupil was given the opportunity to visit Africa and see Elephants up close and person.

As you can see in the pictures below, the children wore Virtual Reality goggles and were instantly transported to an African plain filled with elephants having a cool down in the water.  The images viewed by the Virtual Reality goggle wearers were so believable that when Mrs Milne put the goggles on she actually took a step back when she found herself nose to tusk with an elephant!

Many thanks to Craig Hume, Director at Utopia Computers for bringing such an unusual field trip into the classroom.

This Thursday is a dress down day,  suggested donation of 50p.

Please note that our end of year summer service will take place at the New Laigh Kirk at 10am.  All are welcome to attend.
