• ✍🏻🧠 P7 Entrepreneurs ✍🏻🧠

  Fri 03 May 2024

  Primary 7 are positively overwhelmed by the support and fantastic feedback regarding our business Fruit and Vegi-Pals. Thank you to everyone who has supported our young entrepreneurs on the beginning of their journey into business.

  Primary 7 have started the process of delivering items. Items will be delivered by year group with Primary 1-3, including LSC 1-3, having received their items this week. Primary 4 onwards will receive their items next week.

  Unfortunately, we are not in a position to take any more orders at this moment in time, however, there will be a one-off stall opened within school in the next few weeks. Anyone who did not get a chance to order a Fruit and Vegi-Pal will be given priority to make a purchase during this sale. 

  Thank you again to our school community for your fantastic continued support.

  

• 🛡⚔️ Vikings Workshop 🛡⚔️

  Fri 03 May 2024

  The children from Primary 5/6 and Primary 6 got to enjoy an exciting Viking experience. They began the day with a fantastic art workshop lead by Mrs. Henderson. Later, the children met some real-life Viking warriors and maid. They got to share their knowledge of Vikings and what they have learnt. They got to hold real weapons and learn about authentic Viking artefacts. At the end of the workshop, they got to form a shield wall and charge at the Vikings and fight in a battle. 

  Many thanks to The DeCourcey Knights group who worked brilliantly with the children and to Elle Mae's Grandfather Harry Cheevers for leading the workshop.
