Some of our beautiful ‘McCoo’-inspired art work!
P1 life cycles
In science, P1 have been learning about life cycles and have completed fantastic projects at home to show their learning.
Mr Eagleson spent a fascinating morning seeing the P1 class confidently and clearly present their detailed and exciting work from home.
Well done P1, your confidence in speaking and your support of each other is great to see.

P6 have been lucky enough to take part in Karate and Judo taster sessions over the past couple of weeks. Across the two sports, we learned how to safely punch, kick, hold and throw. We even got to try out some nunchucks! Here are some photos of us in action.
