Primary 1/2 researched what would be found in Viking houses as well as what they looked like and why. Pupils worked hard as they measured, created and built their own Viking houses complete with grass or straw roof.

We have had a very high standard of entry to our Book Quest competition. Here are the winners and a sample of the book reviews.

Primary 1/2 helped support Red Nose Day and had fun dressing in something red. Something strange also happened to Mrs Davis’s hair.
