A visual story of our learning
Well done to everyone in P5 for taking part in such a hard task!
I have enjoyed following your learning during your campaign trail. As I said on Friday at our assembly I was impressed that the items on your manifestos considered whole school issues which affected pupils and all staff. Congratulations to all the policitical parties! 🙂
Congratulations to the winners !
