Pupils in Primary 1 and 2 enjoyed visiting Almond Valley Heritage Park in Livingston on Tuesday.

Today we had a great trip out to Sealife at Loch Lomond Shores. Primary 6 participated in a ‘Food Chain’ workshop learning what would happen to sea creatures if there was a break in the link of the food chain. To demonstrate this we were asked to be different creatures. You may not know it but you are looking at plankton, crabs, sharks…!
Today these children had to climb up four different parts of a high rock. They learned how to ensure their safety harness was secure and problem solve the best way to tackle each climb. They worked in partners and individually.
Here are the children enjoying more water activities followed by some free time in the games room and on the football pitches.
