Great Experience • Overall we had a great trip and we have lots of good memories from our trip in Edinburgh • Having been to Loch Insh now we can see how much this trip helped us gain confidence and be more independent

An Extra Reminder • Grow a fiver will be taking place in term 4 so now would be a good time to start thinking how you can grow your fiver • Last year we had activities such as nails, tattoos, popcorn, beat the goalie, darts game, home bakes, car washes • A good tip to earn more money is to do more activities outside of school
