Our S1 pupils attended a trip to the Gurdwara in Glasgow as part of their learning on Sikhism. Pupils received a tour of the Gurdwara followed by the opportunity to experience the Langar (free kitchen). Pupils were very helpful with the washing up duties. Well done everyone!

Finishing our last S3 Biology topic with the creation of some Reebop babies! This activity is designed to simulate how different versions of a gene are passed on which gives us the extensive variation we see within a species! Fun times! 👽👾👶
