Skelmorlie Primary

Congratulations to Anna and Alex in P6 who attended the Area Finals of the K’Nex Competition in Kilmarnock recently. They were tasked to produce a model of a fire engine which had a moving ladder and working steering. They did brilliantly well and won. The pair now go on to the West of Scotland Final at Glasgow University on 13th June. A fantastic achievement and well deserved after all their hard work!
