Victoria McClements, who teaches P6 and started the group, said: “We met every Thursday afternoon for one hour. The children have interviewed people from throughout the school including teachers, SLAs, children and parents, and written articles about events such as Sports Day.

“They have also visited New Carron Court where they found out about the dementia garden to write an article on it.”

The pupils have also been helped by school photographer Lisa Fleming to take photographs to use in the own newspaper.
