Harvest Assembly
This morning we had our annual harvest assembly. We were joined by our special guest, Mr Povey, who told us a story about the true meaning of harvest time.
P5 were excellent, telling the whole school and our parents/carers all about when and why we celebrate at this time. Club Wild also presented and shared their learning with us and had lots of fresh vegetables to sell.
A huge thank you to all of our pupils, parents and carers for donating so generously to our West Lothian Food Bank collection. We hope to continue supporting this very worthy charity throughout the year.
