This morning P5 started a new gymnastics block in P.E. They worked with a partner to match and mirror each other’s actions and movements.

Last week Primary 6 enjoyed sorting the Christmas post and P1 pupils ensured it was delivered on time. Now P7 are back they are in charge of the delivery service.

Last week, Primary 4 conducted a traffic survey on Old Edinburgh Road as part of their learning in relation to Information Handling for Maths.

We now know that when we are doing a survey we need to concentrate really well so that our results are accurate.
