Our P7 class recently took part in an engaging series of three workshops with Suzie Parkes, all focused on preparing for the exciting move on to secondary school. Throughout the sessions, the children explored the different changes they can expect next year, shared and discussed their worries and highlighted the many exciting opportunities ahead.
The workshops provided a supportive space for pupils to reflect on their feelings, build confidence and develop strategies to manage the transition successfully. There were plenty of thoughtful discussions, as well as opportunities for the children to connect and realise they are not alone in how they feel.
To round off the experience, the class enjoyed some well-earned water fun, which was a fantastic way to celebrate their participation—something the children absolutely loved!
We are very proud of how positively our P7 pupils have embraced this important step in their journey and a massive thank you to Suzie and her friends for coming in.

Today, Primary 4 travelled to Clandeboye Nature Rangers and had a truly superb day outdoors.
From the moment they arrived, the children embraced the opportunity to explore and learn in a natural environment. They thoroughly enjoyed getting messy in the mud kitchens, where their creativity came to life as they mixed, stirred and created all sorts of imaginative “recipes.” The pupils also produced beautiful leaf prints, using nature around them to inspire their artwork.
A real highlight of the day was gathering together to cook and enjoy delicious s’mores, which were a big hit with everyone. The children also worked collaboratively to build cosy homes for hedgehogs, showing great teamwork and care for wildlife.
Throughout the day, there were plenty of opportunities for free play, allowing the pupils to explore, discover and develop their confidence in a relaxed setting. Laughter and excitement could be heard as they climbed, built, created and made lasting memories with their friends.
It was a wonderful, fun-filled experience and a perfect way to celebrate and complete their first year of school.
