Today, in Maths, we worked in pairs and groups to try and solve word problems. It was harder than it looked but our teamwork skills were superb and we all achieved our goal by the end of the lesson. Well done everyone!

P7 had a great time at the ceilidh yesterday. Our behaviour was fantastic, we had lots of fun and we met other people who will be in S1 next year. Thank you to everybody who organised such a fun event!

Thank you to Mr Johnstone and Mr Whelan who visited us yesterday and gave us some interesting information and amazing facts about Shale mining and what it was like to be a miner. It was really interesting to hear what it was like to work in those conditions. We’re glad we don’t have to go mining today but we’re proud to hear about our heritage in this area. They also gave some information about the Burngrange Disaster. It was a really great afternoon.
