Over the last couple of weeks Primary 6 have participated in a wide variety of healthy activities. This term Miss Hesford has helped us learn more about healthy eating and hygiene in the kitchen.

It is starting to feel like Christmas at Aitkenhead. Mrs McGowan has decorated the tree beautifully, all the classes are practising dances for their party and songs for the school show.

To demonstrate this we were asked to be different creatures. You may not know it but you are looking at plankton, crabs, sharks…!
