Our Primary 6 pupils undertook a mock election prior to the real deal on Thursday. The children took the work very seriously organising themselves into political parties and writing their own manifestos. They even had their own polling station. Learning in real life contexts indeed!! I wonder if the next Minister for Scotland was in among the parties represented!

Gaelic Football News
Mrs. Drummond escorted a group of our fabulous Pr. 6 and 7 boys to the first of the Gaelic Football finals taking place this week. She has now become an avid fan of the sport and could not praise the boys highly enough for their great sportsmanship!! High praise indeed! The team picture is after the event as they were so wet and apparently their wee lips were looking a bit blue. Scottish summertime!!
