Eco Day was a great success on Friday 21st April. All of the classes took part and got involved in reusing, recycling and reducing! Primary 1-3 took part in litter picking and picked nearly 15 kilograms of litter altogether. Primary 3 hosted a face painting stall which proved to be very popular! Well done to everyone who took part.

On Friday 28th April, Primary 4 went on an exciting journey across the English border and along Hadrian’s wall to complete their learning about the Romans. Our first stop was the Roman Army museum. When we arrived, we went into a Roman classroom and were taught some lessons from Vilius our teacher. We learned about Roman numerals, Aesop’s fables, the Roman empire and how to write and speak latin.
After that, we got to have a good look around the museum. We saw examples of Roman coins, food, weapons and clothes. We even got a go of a bow.
Next, we went back on the bus and travelled a short way to Vindolanda. The first thing we did was get a talk from a lovely lady called Penny who taught us a lot about the job of an archaeologist. She showed us some things that had been dug up at Vindolanda and explained how they work out what each of the buildings was used for.
Finally, our stomach’s groans were answered and we could eat our lunch! Some robins joined us too. 
Next, we had a look inside that museum and spent all of our money in the gift shop.
After having a good look around the site (and climbing a very big hill) we had a little bit of fun pretending to be real Romans in the Roman fort. Then, before long, it was time to get back on the bus and travel back home.
The class behaved brilliantly and we all had an amazing time. It was the perfect way to finish our topic. Many, many thanks to the parents who came along with us and also Mrs White who gave up her afternoon off to come along. We are all very grateful.

Happy Eco Day!! I hope you are all having a wonderful day. Today we all had to where green and donate a pound and all the money we raise is going to Water Aid. Water Aid is a service that helps people all over the world that don’t have as clean water as us or even don’t have any water. Also today we have been doing Eco tasks like design a recycling logo, design a littler bin and a Eco word search. We also have a visit from a man from Scottish Water and he explained what we should and shouldn’t flush down the toilet just incase the get clogged up. He also showed us what happens in that sewers if you put something down your drain pipe and it clogs up (It was really gross). There was also another visit from Mr Service and he is apart of Dumfries Civic Pride and he was explaining how we should keep Dumfries clean by recycling instead of just throwing your littler on the ground because this can affect wild life as well and it can also kill animals because they can choke on anything and they can get plastic stuck around there necks. Thank you P3 and Miss Lowther for organising this day. By Sophie Smith P7

On the 22 of April St.Ninians hosted Eco day!
When we went to assembly we had a talk with Mr.Service. Quickly he talked about Dumfries and the town how we should pick up litter and he showed us what would happen to the environment if you drop litter.
We wore green clothes and had great fun, we planted flowers to see whose was the biggest.
Also we had a visit from Ewan from Scottish water he showed us what to put down and not to put down and he said flushable wipes were not flushable and normal wipes do!

Today was Eco Day at St.Ninian’s and we designed our own recycle logos and designed our own bins. We had a talk about what to and what not to flush down the toilet, we did experiments with bottles of water, we got 2 bottles of water, put toilet roll in one and the other we put flushable wipes, and then we shook them to see which one would go down to the bottom. The flushable wipe stayed at the top and the toilet paper broke apart.
