REMINDER : Group A need their swimming kit for tomorrow

It’s been a day of culture today – kicking off with the Travelling Art Gallery. The bus pulled up at 8.50am and took pupils from P4 – P7 into a world of contemporary art. It was great to see how artists used the theme of childhood in their pieces.

We also received another comment from Melville Internation School in New Zealand. We decided this morning that we’d like to find out more about the culture in New Zealand. We’ve comprised the following questions which we’d like to ask Jamie and her class mates. We’re also hoping to make a Scottish themed Lochardil documentary to share with them. We’d like to thank them for mentioning us on their page. Check it out . . .
