Scottish Ballet Workshop





P2 had a workshop with Scottish Ballet today.  We worked on creative dance with a theme of The Nutcracker.  The Snow Queen played her part, freezing and melting us!  A huge thanks to Mim for being a great teacher!

We had a visit from Jonathan Porterfield to show us his electric car so we could compare it to a fuel vehicle.  There are quite a few differences!  Can you remember any?

ECO Action Day

A huge thank you to all who have contributed photos and items for our Museum.  It is always amazing the range of items folk have and are willing to bring in to show our children, so that they can learn about the past. Our Museum was open over Parents Evening, but if you weren't able to see it, here are a few photos.
