CYCLING TRAINING

The P5 classes started cycling training. Organised by Ms Christie, the students worked with four biking experts, to first get ready for cycling by checking their tyre pressure and brakes, and fitting their helmets. Then they tried different stations to develop balance, agility, steering, and safety skills riding.

Congratulations, Lawson

BRAVO! OUTSTANDING OPERA PERFORMANCE!

On May 9 the P5 students worked with performers from the Scottish Opera to prepare for the performance of Slim McBride and the Lost Tribe.
During the morning, they learnt the staging and choreography for the songs that they had been practising. In the afternoon they put on costumes and performed a dress rehearsal for siblings and younger stages. Then families arrived and the students performed again to a very enthusiastic and appreciative audience. Bravo!
