Burn’s Celebration

We had a fantastic time at our shared campus Burn’s Celebration!! We invited parents from our school and Cochrane Castle PS, and the SVDP from St Margaret’s Church joined us, for singing, poetry and dancing. Well done to our P6 and P7 children.

STEM Homework Club

We are really enjoying our STEM Homework Club with Mr Barrett! We created holograms using diffracted light to create the illusion of a 3D object floating above our iPads.

Mr Barrett said that the children loved it so much that they’ve asked to make them for their smartphones next week!
