Harvest Delivery

Thank you to everyone who donated towards our Harvest Collection. Primary 2E, P2,P2S and P1C delivered the bags to the Community Food Larder. They were very strong carrying the bags of food items. We are very proud of our pupils who were delighted to help with this delivery.👏


P1C drew pictures of their visit.

‘Food For Thought’ – Parent Group – WE NEED YOU!

Hello Parents/Carers/Families,

We are delighted to announce #OurOnthank has been awarded grant funding from Education Scotland to support food health, hygiene and education across our curriculum with the welcomed addition of our very own Chicken Coop and vegetable patches! Yes you read correctly!

We are incredibly excited, and having already met with last year’s Pupil Council, will launch our slogans next week:

“Don’t waste it – taste it!” & “Taste! Don’t Waste”

Over the next month we will explore and develop various initiatives surrounding the ‘Love Food, Hate Waste’ campaign, encouraging our young people (and you our families!) to positively tackle food waste both in school and at home, focusing on the positive impact healthy eating can have on our lives/education.

https://lovefoodhatewaste.com/

I am looking for a Parent Focus Group who would be interested in working alongside myself and our young people to take this message throughout our whole school community and really make a difference.  This would include an initial meeting to share information and gather ideas/suggestions and creating simple, manageable responsibilities (eg taking part in our activities at home, dropping off our posters to local shops, sharing information with other families etc) If you are interested, or would like more information, please complete the form below.

Many thanks in advance #OurOnthank Families for considering joining our group – an exciting month awaits!

Safe wishes,

Steven Swan
