Code Along Parent Event
A big well done to our school Digital Champions who hosted a Digital Code Along in the hall this afternoon. They did a great job of demonstrating how to use the micro bits and helping those who were stuck. Thank you to everyone who came along to our coding event.
STEAM Week events
Our STEAM week has been taking place on the theme of ‘Boats and Buoyancy’. P7 have been conducting some experiments on buoyancy and using this knowledge to help them design model boats which will float in the water. We look forward to testing these boats at the end of the week!
STEAM Parent Talks
Today we welcomed one of our wonderful parent speakers in as part of our STEAM week. We learned lots about submarines during today’s talk. 
Author visit – Gerry Cav
We are pleased to announce that following a successful visit to P4, Gerry Cav will be returning to our school on Thursday 6th March! He will be visiting P1 – 4 and also working with a group of P7 readers.
He has written a number of books – and will have a selection of these available to buy (and sign!) on Thursday. These will be on special offer at £6 per book, or 2 for £10. If you would like your child to get a book, payment will be available on IPay.
Thanks,

Airfryer Cooking Group – Week 1
The cooking group made lovely stuffed peppers today – they smelt so good! It was a great chance for the Mums to get a good chat in the group too. I hope everyone enjoyed eating them this evening. Next week it’s banana muffins, yum!
