We started our week with a live lesson on water, delivered by Ecoschools and Keep Scotland Beautiful.

We learned about penguins, flapper skates, mythical water creatures and the water footprint. We were inspired to write our own stories about water creatures and today when we joined the follow up assembly we learned that we were winners! Both p5 classes have won one of Allison Galbraith’s books! We were delighted to see some of our stories shared.
