Primary 6/7 had a fantastic trip to Solly's African Food Store on Great Western Road. The store manager showed us a range of foods from all over Africa.

The children bought plantains (look like bananas but taste more like potatoes), eggs plants, yams, beef biltong, plantine crisps and all sorts strange and wonderful delights.

The pupils had a fantastic time and learned loads about African foods.

Sport Relief Sponsored Run - Clip

Pupil of the Week

Well done to Rebecca who is Pupil of the Week. Fantastic!

Sport Relief Sponsored Run

Today the children in P4-7 ran a distance of two miles for Sport Relief. We left the school at about 9.30 and walked the half mile down to the esplanade. Once there we ran the whole length of the esplanade and back. The children were brilliant and all ran at least some of the distance, although most walked parts too! Cayman in P5 was the first boy finished and Ellie in P7 was the first girl. Excellent effort all round!
We will be taking in the sponsor money before the end of the week and hope to have a significant sum to contribute to the Sport Relief charities.
Well done to all!
