Outdoor Learning
Class Tiree spent some time learning outdoors this morning working with some of the parents from our Ground Force team as they were working in the sensory garden.
Before the holidays they had planted some seeds and now it was time to harvest them.
Everyone had a taste of the peas and now they are going to research some pea recipes for next week.
Outdoor Learning
Many thanks to our ground force team who were back in action this morning after the summer break to make our sensory garden a wonderful learning environment for our young people.
Have a look at some of the photographs taken in our sensory garden.
Thank You
Thank you to Andrew Robertson ( Hull City),
Blytheswood Apartments, Rettie and many other members of the local Mearns community for all your very generous raffle donations to support our special event.
We were able to commission a very special painting called
“Elegant Storm” to be placed in the school as a special memory for staff and pupils, of a very dear colleague and friend who
passed away suddenly.
This afternoon, Karen’s family came into school for the unveiling
of the painting. They were also presented with a smaller painting and memory book to take home with them.
Some of our primary pupils led us during the welcome and school songs, highlighting the Makaton signs.
Have a look at the painting next time you are in school.
Watch this space
We have commissioned our visual artist, Mo Rocksmoore who works with our pupils to paint a mural at the entrance to the school.
It has a very special meaning and will be revealed when the mural is complete.
Watch this space!
