We are having a great time at Tullos Primary just now. They're working on a book about local birds. Did you know that Torry has one of the most diverse group of birds in the whole area? It is a great place for birds because of all the different habitats in the area.

So far we've found out about some of the species and where they live. Then we collected ideas for writing a story about several of the birds. Now we're working on the illustrations - you can see Aaron, in thee picture above, drawing some of the pupils' ideas. It's going to be a super book when it is finished.
