Today P3/4 and P4 spent a fun-packed day at the beach. First of all we went rock-pooling to Yellowcraig beach where we found a lot of sea creatures. We then had lunch on the beach in North Berwick and spent the afternoon in the Seabird Centre where we learned all about puffins.

On Friday Primary 4 lead the upper school assembly.

P2/3 have made a start in the school garden. We weeded, added compost and then planted potatoes, radishes and nasturtiums. We also planted seeds indoors which will be transplanted later. Alex brought a lavender plant which will hopefully help to keep the cats out of our border!

On Friday, P3/4 shared their Outdoor Journey experiences with the upper school. We also had a visit from a number of people from Edinburgh University who were interested in finding out what we had been up to.
