We completed our own research into air raid shelters to help us with our homework task. We used the internet as well as nonfiction books to help us 📚

PC Marc Stirling visited Primary 7 to talk to us about staying safe online. He discussed the dangers of large chat groups as we transition to high school 📱

Working with a partner to improve our reading fluency 👍🏻 a little reading everyday builds our confidence 📚
