Primary 4, their teachers, Mrs. Devenney and Miss McArthur and classroom assistants Mrs. McLachlan, Mrs. Pollock, Mrs Dunn and Mrs. Kennedy, visited the island of Bute as a finale to their topic, ‘Clyde Coastal Towns’.

They travelled by bus to Wemyss Bay where they boarded the ferry at the famous Victorian railway station and pier.

Arriving in the main town of Rothesay they visited the ancient castle which was built in the early 13th century.

After a walk round the famous seaside town, and an icecream, they headed home damp but happy!

Primary 5a  presented an excellent assembly about the Olympics.

A group of Greek gods and goddesses explained how the ancient games came into being over 2000 years ago.

We were told about the birth of the modern games in 1896. We also heard  about some of the 33 different Olympic sports and about a few outstanding athletes.

The pupils had learned their lines amazingly well and delivered them loudly and clearly.

Excellent job P5a, Miss Barr and Mrs Kennedy!
