Doric Assembly

Linked closely to our Language 3 (Doric) Jackie Ross visited us and spoke about the Doric books she has written, and then shared her new book Cedric E Flapper Skate which is about a flapper skate who lives in Macduff Aquarium. She wrote it to raise awareness of flapper skates as they are critically endangered, we then created a flapper skate to be displayed in the aquarium #fitnbonnie#fash#Doric
