S1 are independent Learners!

S1 are focussing on improving their independent learning skills, with individual projects on cities across the world. Each pupil has one city to research, and will be making a Keynote presentation using their newly acquired skills in Computing! These will be shown to the class and Mrs Speirs, who will decide whose is the most interesting presentation.
