Eco Week
What fantastic work has been going on this week at Quarryhill during ECO WEEK. Today we celebrated all our ECO achievements at our special assembly.
This week we have been encouraging the boys and girls to walk to school and on Wednesday 139 people walked. Well done! P3 and P4 were awarded special Walk Star Awards for having the biggest number of people walking to school.
The primary 3 class have also been collecting litter from the playground. On Monday they collected 220 different pieces of litter. 🙁 On Friday this number had reduced dramatically to 15 pieces of litter.
This afternoon we celebrated all our ECO work with a special disco and raised £156.00. This money will go towards buying new bins for the playground.
A special thank you to Miss Quinn, the boys and girls in p3 and the ECO pupil working group for organising our ECO week.
The Learning Zone
The children in the Learning Zone have been busy learning about Chinese New Year.
They have been learning lots and doing some fantastic work.

This week we are having an ‘Eco Week’ at Quarryhill. All classes have been learning about Eco related topics. Today each class had a talk from Waste Aware and found out about ways to reduce, reuse and recycle.
Miss Quinn’s class have been busy keeping a close eye on the litter outside this week and have been collecting and weighing any litter they find.
Eco Awards will be presented at our celebration assembly on Friday.
Remember to wear something GREEN on Friday and bring a donation for our Eco disco. All donations will go towards buying new bins for the playground.
