SLC 3 – Dumfries House

On Thursday 3rd May, SLC 3 went to Dumfries House as part of our topic on vertebrates and invertebrates.  We got to explore the estate and searched for different leaves and trees.

We walked through the estate to the ponds and we were taught how to carry out pond dipping safely.  We were able to find lots of different creatures including pond skaters and water snails.  It was very interesting.

Barshare Bolterz Update

The start of the summer has seen our Barshare Bolterz club get up and running (!) and so far it has been a great success.

The pupils have been focusing on developing their fitness and their running form and this week were able to practice sprinting in the sunshine.   All the boys and girls have put in a fantastic effort over the last couple of weeks.
