Some absolutely amazing work from S1 as they have been creating very artistic and informative storyboards depicting life on the mysterious Skara Brae 👏👏
We are making our way slowly but surely to Greenfaulds. Dealing with long traffic delays and a very warm bus the pupils should be praised for their positive attitude and 'soldiering' on!
