P5 are working with Software Training Scotland on Garage Band. Each week we are adding tracks to compose our own version of a chosen song. Hopefully we will upload our finished pieces at the end of the block.

Apologies for the late update but we thought you would like to see out First Day photographs!

Our superb new £1.3 extension is getting young people active at Blackridge Primary School.

Our Pupils have already been enjoying the school’s brand new games hall complete with modern changing facilities, improving access to sport and healthy activity.

Vice chair of the Education Executive, Councillor David Dodds, was invited to attend the opening ceremony at the school to mark the completion of the works along with staff, pupils, members of the community and parent representatives.

Blackridge Head Boy and Depute Head Girl Ethan and Megan compered the ceremony, which included music and speeches, in front of the whole school community and invited guests.

Other works at the school have included improving access to the school through a new main entrance way and reception area, with internal alterations to allow disabled access between the various levels within the existing school.

Following the opening ceremony the pupils enjoyed a party in the new hall!

We have been writing to each other and posting our postcards in the Struay Postbox!

A big thank you to everyone who came along to watch our Katie Morag Assembly! We really appreciate your support!

The crew had an amazing time at the disco. Here they are all dressed up and looking very much smarter than they

have all week!

All the teachers have taken various pictures which we will collate and post on the blog on our return.

See you soon!

Thank you to our wonderful P6 (soon to be P7) Buddies who came to visit us in the nursery this morning.

We’re here! Safe and sound. Look out for pictures being posted throughout our stay!
