National Storytelling Week During National Storytelling Week, our pupils explored stories through digital creativity! Each class took on the challenge of creating their own digital story or reimagining elements of a wellknown tale, using a range of digital tools and apps. This wholeschool activity supported our focus on enhancing creative writing opportunities. It gave the children the chance to express their imagination, develop their pupil voice and strengthened their confidence in using digital technology. It has been wonderful to see pupils from P1 to P7 embrace digital storytelling and use technology to bring their ideas to life. Their enthusiasm, teamwork and creativity have filled our classrooms with pride and excitement. A huge well done to all our young storytellers, your creativity truly shines!

They suggested exciting Easter treats too: discos , bingo , an egg hunt/animal farm , and even a charity bake sale for Cash for Kids . We also loved their creative podcast ideas and their thoughtful improvement suggestions, including trimming bushes near the outdoor classroom , starting a new Playground Buddy system , and developing a new vegetable patch
