Pupils in P2-P7 enjoyed their first Leadership Academy in Fairtrade and cooking with Ms Whiston and Miss Lalmy. They learnt about the parts of the orange, they got to taste it and then they juiced them. The upper primary school pupils were very responsible working with their younger partners supporting them with how to use all the equipment. We also looked at being safe in a kitchen and where the

Mrs Maitland and I had the pleasure of accompanying Primary 4 on an educational outing to Vikingar today.

Primary 4 have transformed their open area into what looks like a Viking museum! Pupils showed off their artistic skills by creating an amazing array of Viking models for display as part of their homework.

Mrs Moran and I hope you all enjoyed the party. We thought you looked fabulous and your dancing and behaviour was outstanding. Merry Christmas to you and your families.
The boys and girls in Primary 4 took their learning outdoors last week. They had to use their mental maths skills to solve a range of addition and subtraction problems and then find the answers hidden around the playground.

There were lots of tired

They were sent from the Guide Dog Association and
