Thank you to all of the family and friends who came to Primary 5/6 Assembly this afternoon. Primary 5/6 shared everything that they had learned about endangered animals and how we can all work together to protect our environment and their habitats. Things that we can do included – reduce, reuse and recycle glass, cardboard,metals and plastics, use bamboo toothbrushes and put our litter in bins. The children were very confident. Well done everyone!

As part of our school improvement priorities to encourage and support reading,  BillieRose, Nikodem, Rosie and Noah S, talked about books that they were enjoying including ‘TheSmartest Giant In Town’, ‘The Hodgeheg’ and ‘The Snail and the Whale’. All classes will have a chance to share their favourite stories over the coming weeks at assembly.

P5/6 and P6/7 visit to United Auctions

Leave a comment

Today we went to United Auctions in Stirling, to learn all about farming.

We visited a range of different stalls including ‘eggtastic’ eggs, lif eof chicks with the Coop, bees, food assurance, cereals, muesli,transport, animals, food miles and dairy.

🍎 🥩 🐣 🥚 🐄


At each stall we learned about the importance of farming in these different areas, the jobs connected to them and the different skills and interests required for different roles.

🐝 🍯✈ 🚛

Our last stop was a trip to the auction mart, where we bid on the different animals that we had met earlier in the day.

Deerpark hadthe highest bid for the geese and the Pigmy Goats. 🐐
We participated, listened well and gave positive feedback about our experience, when we returned to school.
