Our Pupil Council decided that they would like to organise a Learning Walk in different schools so they could find out what it is like to be a pupil in a different Primary school. Our cluster schools Addiewell Primary and Woodmuir also agreed that they would like to join us.

Today was the first part of the learning walk, pupils from Addiewell and Woodmuir joining us. The Pupil Council put together a presentation with information that they would like to share about our school.

Then we had a question and answer session, the pupils asked us and Miss Burton questions about our school, some of them really made us think!

• What is the best thing about our school?
• How do our assemblies run?
• Do you feel safe in school and why?
• How does the Pupil Council run?
• How does the Pupil Council organise events?
• What sporting events do we take part in?

• Why did you want to become a teacher?
• How do you ensure the teachers plan interesting learning?

Then the Pupil Council took the pupils on a tour around the school, the pupils from the other schools then gave us some feedback about our school. They all commented on how we had a fun and welcoming school which was bright and open.
