Harvest Time!

Leave a comment

It’s Harvest Time!

Tomorrow morning before school and at the end of the school day, some of our harvest will be set out for people to help themselves to. There are only a few carrots (not a good year) leeks, onions, beetroot, potatoes and lots of apples! Please bring your own bag and take what you can use. There will be a pot set out for donations plus some gloves and wipes. Any donations given will go towards the ongoing eco work in school. Thank you in anticipation for supporting this. Well done the Eco Committee on harvesting it all today!

RAG BAG NEXT WEEK

Leave a comment

Next week is Rag Bag Day on Wednesday 4th September. If you would like to contribute to this, please bring or send any bags of unwanted clothing items into school by the end of the school day on Tuesday 3rd . That way,  we are ready for the uplift first thing in the morning of the 4th September. As before, items can be in any bag; we no longer send home official bags.  Thank you so much for your support with this. The weight of items collected is converted directly into funds for our school eco work. Thank you!

Come along and look at our exhibits to see what our young people thought of the plastic objects which were found on a recent beach clean.  This has been an activity in which the whole school P1-P7 took part, working collaboratively together.

£1 entry  is for  juice and biscuits and a short quiz sheet. There will be  a chance to vote for your favourite team name and also the team with the best imagination. There will be prizes for the winners and for three lucky entrants whose sheets are pulled out of the hat. Prizes will be given later in the week.   Do pop in for a visit.
