School Trips
We are busy making preparations for our upcoming school trips. There have been some date adjustments to our initial plans, but at the moment we are looking at the following:
- P1-3 trip to Armadale Castle/Gardens/Museum on Tuesday 1st April
- P6 trip to Culloden Battlefield on Wednesday 2nd April
- P3/4 and P5 trip to North Skye (Storr and Museum of Island Life) is unlikely to take place before Easter holidays. We are now looking at this visit taking place on Wednesday 30th April (still tbc)
- P7 have their Raasay trip to look forward to later in the year, and will likely have another excursion near the end of term 4.
