While we were in Edinburgh visiting Parliament we took a lovely walk along the bottom of Arthur’s Seat, however, many of you were unaware that this is what it was called.

Primary 6 are delighted to be back and enjoying being one the first class to experience our new Modular Units. We are loving the space and all of our new tables and chairs. We have settled in very well and are already working very hard.

Keep checking in on us and leave us lots of comments throughout the year to let us know what you think about our learning!

If you look up this site go into the sciences tab and you will find lots of information.

Here is a taster of some of the things that we will learn.

When we arrived at the Parliament we saw an exhibition by a Scottish artist. What was his name and why was Elsie Inglis such an inspiration to him?
