Coding taster
Some P6 pupils have enjoyed learning how to code with Ms Hakim. They have made use of the Beebots, programs on the Ipad and Scratch. This is what they had to say:
“Getting to use the coding games on the Ipad was fun.”
“I enjoyed using Scratch.”
“It was good, really fun.”
“Scratch is good if you are someone who likes to create animations.”
“I liked using the Lightbot.”
Riding for the Disabled
Riding for the Disabled Moray are back in operation after winter storm damage meant they could no longer use their Burgie location. They have secured new premises at Miltonduff and carried out extensive work in order to resume the riding sessions this month. There have been news articles in the local newspapers to publicise this and currently the Co-op have them as one of their featured charities.
