Home Learning Gallery

Below are some of the many photos sent in by pupils to show us what they have been up to during this period of Home Learning. Literacy, Numeracy and health and Wellbeing activities took many forms. There were lots of Outdoor activities;  raising frogs from tadpoles,  artwork, beach combing, lambing, painting, gardening, goal building and much more. Inside activities included,  play shops, cake making, craft work, news writing, games, poster making and more besides.  Enjoy!

 

Farewell Primary 7

Primary 7 came into school this week for their farewell visit. It was great to catch up with them all and see how much they had grown. They were all sporting healthy tans and in in some cases much longer hair! Usually we would have an End of Year concert and Prize giving evening and then the last week of term a leaving party which they would have organised. However it was not to be this year. They enjoyed a drink and snack and gathered all their work to take home, including their Personal Learning Folders which had examples of work going back to their time in Nursery, and charted their learning journey through the school. Mrs King presented them with leaving certificates and gifts. When they left the building they were surprised by a gathering of other pupils and parents who lined the road from the school to clap them on their way and wave placards thanking them for being buddies. We wish them all the best for the future.
