Leafy Legacy

The P7 leavers of 2021 gifted us a Cherry  Blossom tree to plant in our school ground. One of the parents has been looking after it for us until it was a suitable time to plant it.

This is how the eco group planted this blossom tree. First they dug a hole 50cm wide and 27cm deep. It was very rocky and took lots of effort to dig out. Next they put the tree in and put some soil back in.They also put in manure to help make it grow. Then Mrs Jahn  and Mrs Redman put some support pieces of wood next to the tree and zip tied the tree to the wood. Finally they made a border of rocks around the tree so that the grass would not take the nutrients  from the tree.

We are all looking forward to see the new flowers on the tree and are excited to see it grow.

P4 MATHS

P4 have been learning the 7 times table. They have only had it for a week and are already great at it. To help them learn it they are doing loop cards and a symmetry game. They are now learning how to divide by 7 and are also good at that. They are moving onto the 9 times table this week. They are also going to be learning about money and fractions over the next few weeks.
