Ochiltree Festive Fun
A magical day at Ochiltree Primay School ……………..
P6/7
Since September P6/7 have been reading “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” by J.K. Rowling and have studied the text in depth. From each chapter different activities were covered by the children – lots of literacy and origins of language, letter writing, poetry, character studies; science experiments – colour changing flowers, growing cress and predicting results (all children shocked by how wrong they were!); art and crafts – sketching characters, drawing three different eyes, sewing a “sorting hat” from a pattern and many more activities.
To complete the study we intend to watch the film next week and compare it to the original novel. The film is rated PG. Please complete the attached form by Friday 16 December.
Thank you.

Eco Committe & Clean Green Award
Last week was National Recycling Week and we have decided to celebrate by reintroducing the recycling of crisp bags in the school. If you would like to recycle your crisp bags from home, please send them in with your child and they can put them in the recycling bin.
This session we have decided also to collect metal bottle tops and ring pulls from cans, e.g., any bottle top that requires to be open with a bottle opener. Please also send these into school for recycling. These will then be sent onto Isla Dog Rescue.
Thank you for your continued support.
