Primary 7 Visit
Primary 7 pupils attended Greenfaulds recently for their two day visit.
Staff at Greenfaulds had prepared a range of interesting lessons for the P7s. The children reported that they thoroughly enjoyed their experiences in the various subject areas. The Primary 7 pupils were fantastic during the visit. We wish them well in their final weeks of primary school and look forward to seeing them when they return in August as pupils of Greenfaulds High School.
