Pupils in P6 successfully created Tunnel Books depicting scenes from WW1.

They displayed these at our recent Passchendaele showcase and some were purchased by parents/guardians.

We would like to ensure that all parents/guardians are aware that they can purchase their child’s tunnel book for £1.

All money raised will got to Poppy Scotland.

If you are interested in purchasing a tunnel book please send the money with your child by Friday 17th November 2017.

Thank you.

Mrs Sinclair and P6
