We have been delighted to be able to welcome both Debbie and Diana from NISCU back into school this week. We have seen them (and Diana’s dog) on their video “disassembles” each week, but it was extra special to be able to invite them into class in real life! Diana spent time with Year 6 looking at…

Today we said goodbye to Lockerbie Manor and set off home after lunch. Before that though, we still had activities to enjoy, which included abseiling, target shooting, survival skills, archery and tackling the low-ropes course. 

We woke up to rain this morning, but we enjoyed a hearty breakfast before venturing out to go orienteering and learn survival skills. Thankfully it stopped raining in the afternoon. We had a great time on the lake canoeing and kayaking. We finished the day with abseiling or tackling the high ropes…

Year 6 enjoyed a leavers’ party with a difference on Friday evening, Due to coved restrictions we were unable to hold our usual leavers’ event, so the teachers hosted a party in school. The children enjoyed a bouncy castle, photo booth, nail painting, hair braiding and the extremely popular water…

We have all been enjoying the weekly NISCU “disassembles” in our class worship times. Today Year 6 enjoyed an actual, rather than virtual, visit from Debbie and Johnny.

Year 6 enjoyed an afternoon of crown green bowling with Coach Dan today. We had fun learning how to hold the bowls, the best technique to use and how to ‘read’ the green. We all improved our skills by the end of the session and some of us really surprised ourselves with how accurate we could be.…
