Heathhall School were invited to assist in planting a tree for the Queen’s Jubilee. The Queen’s Green Canopy is a unique tree planting initiative created to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022 which invites people from across the United Knigdom to “Plant a Tree for the Jubilee”.

On Monday 7^th March 2022 a small group of pupils from Heathhall, and other members of the community, took part in the tree planting with the Lord Lieutenant of Dumfries, Fiona Armstrong. The tree planting took place at Martinton Road, Heathhall (Across from Nithdale Vets).

Primary 3 have enjoyed ‘testing’ their new playground equipment.  They have decided on a set of rules to make sure the equipment is looked after properly, they have selected some monitors to look after the equipment and they have made a checklist to make sure all the class equipment comes back!

They look forward to taking it out at breaks and lunchtimes from next week!

In weeks 1 and 2, we have been learning about putting, chipping and pitching with James and Ryan from the Dumfries & County Golf Club.  We have been learning how to hold the club correctly, what clubs to use and how to aim at our target.

We look forward to learning more over the next few weeks!

In primary 6/7 Reuben and Corey have been teaching the class how to work botleys.

In P5/6 we have been planting flowers and helping our community and environment. While we have been doing this we have enjoyed exploring the Secret Garden and finding new little bugs. We even  found a lime green caterpillar in a flower pot. When we went to the outdoor classroom this week we saw some of the flowers are already growing. P5/6 have also enjoyed organising the garden tools and storage area. While walking to the outdoor classroom we were thinking that we have planted something that will make people smile – Ella

In Primary 5/6 we have had so many adventures! One of our fabulous adventures was when we were doing our Skills academy. It was all about community. P5/6 as a class decided we thought we needed some colour in the playground, that’s why we chose to plant some beautiful, colourful, tall plants. Heathhall garden Centre donated lots of bulbs which we can’t wait to see grow! -Ria

P5/6 have been having an amazing time plating bulbs in the Secret Garden and organising the garden tools. We enjoyed showing teamwork and leadership skills when tidying up the greenhouse. We helped many tiny inspect friends on our way to helping the school Secret Garden – Shubhra

In term 3 we have been plating flowers in the outdoor classroom and the Secret Garden. Some people planted small flower bulbs and others planted bulbs that will grow into big, tall flowers – Ethan

Today P4 enjoyed taking part in a golf session with James and Ryan from The County Golf Club. We learned the names of the different areas on a golf course and we learned the names of the parts of a golf club.

We practised our putting skills and took part in a putting competition.

We are looking forward to learning more golf skills in the next 3 weeks.
