Welcome to our class webpage!
Here you will find information regarding the children ’s learning as well as photographs of our year. It will be updated regularly, so you can get an idea of life in Primary 5/6. What a fun and busy environment it is!
We have had a great start to the school year, getting to know each other and settling in.
