Pupils enjoyed practical learning activities in map reading, physical training, code breaking and problem solving skills. Our pupils were well engaged throughout and have had follow up sessions with Miss Irvine in Personal and Social Education to connect their learning with the skills that we work on and develop in school on a day to day basis.<\/p>\n<p>Sincere thanks to Emily van Tonder (DYW) and our visiting army team for a thought provoking, well delivered day of learning for our pupils.
