Well done everyone.
Classes Skye and Lewis led our secondary assembly this afternoon and their theme was “Out and About in the Community”
Both classes have been working hard on their topics, visiting various places in the local community.
They have participated in visits to local shops and cafes, making choices, working as a group and exchanging money.
Independent travel has also been incorporated in our visits to Whitlee Wind Farm and the local recycling centre.
As part of their assembly a short movie was made to show the rest of the school the learning experiences that they have taken part in.
