P7 Residential Experience at Lockerbie Manor
LOCKERBIE MANOR
Our P7 pupils visited Lockerbie Manor last month for a week of outdoor activities and new experiences. The weather was rather challenging for them and in true Scottish style they experienced wind, rain, hail and sun all in one week! The pupils showed determination and perseverance with the activities and the Lockerbie Manor staff commended them on their good behaviour and positive attitude. Here are some more pictures taken by Mrs Aitken when she visited them at camp.
P2 trip to Dynamic Earth
P2C had an amazing time at Dynamic Earth last week and learned lots through different scientific experiments.
They enjoyed learning about different types of extreme weather and having a guided tour of the different areas of the museum.
Great time had by all!
P4S Golden Book Entry
Very well done. You took your learning to the next level for your personal talk on The Life or the Celts. Your shield, sword and helmet were amazing!
This week in P2C
P2C have been working hard on their numeracy and literacy skills in lots of creative ways. Fabulous learning P2C. We have been looking at our sounds and have been learning ‘th’, ‘sh’ and ‘ch’ so far.

At indoor lunchtime today our P7 pupils kept the younger pupils entertained in class. They were fantastic role models! One of our P7 Buddies kept a group of P1 children mesmorised with his magic tricks – what a captive audience he had 🙂
