WE Schools visited our P6s yesterday. The children took part in three workshops, debating issues such as climate change, bullying and hunger. The P6s were very respectful of each others’ opinions and Annie from WE Schools said they were a pleasure to work with. Well done P6!

Fairtrade Kahoot!
Primary 7 used Kahoot to assess their knowledge of Fairtrade, following our Pumphie Pals meeting on Friday. Kahoot is an app/ website that allows the children to interact with questions on the board using the iPads. We were very impressed with how accurately they could answer the questions. You can see from their faces how engaged they were!
