P1 had a great time visiting the Paisley Library. They went along to receive their Book Bug Bags and to listen to stories from the shortlist of the Scottish Book Trust Awards. A very busy visit indeed!
P7 went along to P1 to get to know each other a bit better and have fun with their buddies! We made posters about each other, went out to play and had fun with each other!

P7 went to The Paisley Museum to learn about WW1. We learned about how soldiers coped in the trenches and we played fun games and touched various artifacts.
It was a lot of fun and we would like to do it again!

P4 have been learning about the Romans. The Romans came from Rome in Italy to Britain nearly 2000 years ago.
We now know what the Romans ate and what kind of things they did. They ate goat, plums, grapes, lamb, deer and lots of different birds. The Romans also made things we use every day like roads and concrete.
