@ConnectedFalk we used the 3d mapping tool today to have some fun! We located a key Scottish place and added our haggis. Then, we tried to guess where the haggis was visiting! Great fun and laughs. #idl #Scotland pic.twitter.com/WuOKUYpwM0

Last week we enjoyed the Burns assembly, hearing the competition winners recite their Scot’s poems. Completed @ConnectedFalk ‘Haggis Holiday Challenge’ using Google maps and markup tools to locate famous landmarks and practiced division using mental maths games ⭐️ @airthprimary pic.twitter.com/5A7zo0dEvj
