Buchanan School

Very near the end of last year both classes had a Christmas book launch.
 

As you know we have had a lot of rain over the past few months in fact 163mm of rain fell in the month November alone!! The Endrick Bridge took a lot of damage in the storm but luckily the bridge did not collapse .

On the 3^rd of January a wind called a sting jet passed over central Scotland.  A sting jet has a hooked tail that added 25 mph to the wind that went all over central Scotland.
