Welcome to our website
It is hard to believe the end of the session 2019/20 has arrived! It has certainly been unprecedented and we have all had to learn new skills, new ways of doing even every day tasks and adjust to a different way of living.
So here is a little virtual end of session WOW Wednesday that I hope you will all enjoy! https://sway.office.com/Ns6ZcP1DyrTqPuga?ref=email&loc=play
Hello all, please feel free to join us today as we go on a virtual trip to the zoo!
You should already have access to Zoo trip guide for today so feel free to join at your leisure and to add comments on this post as you work through our tour.
This post will be updated at the times for each stop, so we will begin at 9 a.m.
Alternatively, you may wish to follow along on Twitter so please check in via the Primary 2 class Twitter account.

Hello Primary 4 families,
Please find the link below to the final activity grid for this term. There has been a whole school approach to the theme of this week’s grid. The grid is organised by day so there may be activities that overlap between stages. There are a couple of individual class activities to start thinking about for Primary 5.
End of Term Grid for current P4 class, Moving into Primary 5
I would also like to introduce myself and show you your classroom for the year.
I look forward to receiving some messages from you this week. Can’t wait to meet you all in August!
Miss Murray
