Today Primary 6 enjoyed a history re-enactment workshop about life as a Jacobite. Costumes Interpreter Hugh reminded us about the Jacobite campaign and then showed us some objects from the 18th century. We certainly had some interesting ideas working out what they were! Then we dressed each other up in a féileadh-mór – a great kilt, which was a lot harder to put on that you might think!

Health Week
The children engaged in a wide range of activities to develop physical and mental health and well being. Sport’s day was a roaring success with each House competing to win. The nursery sport’s days were a great display of sportsmanship ! Thank you to all who attended to cheer on and support their children.
Here are Primary 5 creating Healthy Pitta Pockets.
Blackridge Gala Day
Thank you to everyone who supported the school by walking with the school in Blackridge Gala Day. The super heroes were super and the villains were mean (especially those with the super soakers)!
Also, a very big thank you to those who have helped to decorate both of the floats – a job very well done.
