We have had great fun this week doing our maths, literacy and art activities with a Halloween twist. We loved decorating our classroom with scary witches, Frankenstein monsters and mosaic pumpkins. The classroom is looking great! Friday was our favourite day when we had a fun filled morning with different fun Halloween activities. Then we made our Halloween pumpkin treats and finished off the day with a great party. Everyone looked amazing in their costumes!
OUR FIGHT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT THIS AUTUMN
JOIN US FOR OUR FIRST EVER #HALLOWCLEAN
The sight of litter gives us goosebumps all year round, but Halloween night can have a particularly bloodcurdling impact on our environment!
Whether it’s discarded treat wrappers or litter left behind by tricksters, during the days around – and just after – Halloween, local neighbourhoods need our support more than ever.
So this autumn, we’re calling on our community of #LitterHeroes to get outside in their scariest outfit and pick up litter from 24 October to 1 November.
You can now make your #HallowClean pledge here. Don’t forget to share your pictures of your clean-ups, tagging @KeepBritainTidy and using the #HallowClean hashtag.
We hope you join the above campaign. Please send any pictures into school showing how you have supported it.
Thank you.
Mrs Gregor & The Eco Committee
P5/6 and P6/7 listened to an information talk about the Ochiltree Biosphere today. Over the next few months our challenge is to develop a device which will help support our bee life. They have further developed their coding skills this week using Scratch and Micro bits.
The 5/6 and P6/7 classes enjoyed their first talk about the World of Work today. Former Ochiltree pupil Josh Perry spoke to pupils about being a Corporal in 137 Squadron Air Cadets. He gained many experiences and developed the skills including his confidence. This in turn has helped him secure a job. We wish Josh every success in hi8s new appointment.
Senior pupils enjoyed an information talk from Mrs Katy Blair about working as a Forester with the Forestry Commission. She discussed different roles and career options available. Pupils enjoyed looking at the tools required for work as a Forester and working out the age of a tree. Many thanks to Mrs Blair for the informative talk.
Spooky, spooky, spooky ………………………..

We still have a number of children who have not booked in for a school lunch.
To avoid confusion and to allow for any technical issues PLEASE BOOK YOUR CHILD’S LUNCH THE NIGHT BEFORE.
Can you also tell your child what they are having for lunch and make sure at the time of booking that it is something which your child enjoys.
Thank you for your help in ensuring that our lunchtime runs smoothly.
A number of pupils did not have a school meal booked today. Whilst all pupils received a meal, it may not have been the meal of their choice. Please ensure your child’s meals are booked in advance.
Thank you for your understanding.
