P2a Tinker Table Fun
A pretend meal was a lot of fun for these two boys this week during play and learning.
P7 Trip to the Scottish Parliament
Primary 7 visited the Scottish Parliament on the 5th of September 2023. This was the first day back for our MSPS, so the Parliament was very busy. Sarah Boyack and Jeremy Balfour, Constituency MSPS for the Georgie and Dalry area, took time out from their busy schedules to answer all the pupils’ questions.
Bikeability in P5 and P6
All of our P5 and P6 pupils took part in Bikeability training this week and last week. Many were supported to learn how to ride a bike for the first time by Mrs Harris-Toner, and lots of children were able to improve their cycling skills with the support of Miss Low. Well done to everyone involved!
