Mural Competition

Last session, one of our parents, Gillian, a local artist, ran a competition for the children to create a school mural for one of our walls, to turn it from drab to fab.

The entries were of such a high standard, Gillian decided to combine lots of different ideas from children across school. The children had to create a piece of art based on the local area and every class is represented.

Last week Gillian was able to put all of the ideas and turn them into a masterpiece. It brightens up the once very boring wall now everyday we get to walk past something to make us all smile.

Watch the process on Gillian’s instagram: @gillian_law_art and have a look at her other work on https://www.lawillustrates.com/pages/about

Here is the finished artwork. What a masterpiece! We are so grateful to Gillian for giving up her time to help us make our school look so much better! We love it. 🥰

Scottish Schools and AI Week 2026

Primary 6 joined a live online session as part of AI in Scottish Schools Week.

The lesson introduced pupils to the exciting world of robotics and artificial intelligence.

We learned about the technology that allows robots to move, sense their surroundings and make decisions.

The class explored examples of robots used in different areas of life, including robots that help in schools, support doctors in hospitals and assist firefighters in dangerous situations.

It was a fascinating session that encouraged the children to think about how technology and AI may shape jobs and problem-solving in the future. 🤖
