The school garden

Last term we were growing Fruit and vegtables in are school garden we had help from a man called Tom from the Rouken Glen Project we were growing a wide variety of of Fruit and Vegtables here are some examples Potatos, Carrots, blueberries and Pears. The Pears and Blueberries were on trees and in about twenty years they will be able to eat, unfortunately we will not be in primary school any more. Sometimes when we go out the potatos have been pulled out and very sadly the same week we planted trees someone had came into the school Garden at night and kicked one down alltough we have been able to plant them back into the soil but if anyone has any idea of who is doing this please contact the School.This term are school project is about  enviorementmetal health all about the antartic and the jungle and all diffrent places around the world also it is Earth day on the 22nd of April.

Term 2

This has already been a busy and exciting term for P5/6.  We have continued to enjoy a variety of outdoor learning and HWB  lessons both in the school grounds and in the local Gerry park. We have worked hard through the winter months to maintain the garden and have planted beans, garlic potatoes  and a variety of salad leaves which are growing well despite the cold weather!

We recently added some cherry, plum, apple and pear trees to the garden along with berry bushes. Hopefully these will bear fruit for many years to come and help promote sustainable living throughout the school and local area.img_4332img_4543img_4541img_4335img_4334img_4544

P5 and P6’s visit to see Chris Riddle

On Monday the 12th of September p5/p6 went to Springhill and Achenbach  to see Chris Riddle. First he drew some pictures of him or us. Then he told us a bit about him self like he was the children’s laureate for 2015 to 2017. He had a daughter called Katie he said once he had lots of drawings for a very important person and didn’t have a story and was very nervous about it about it. He also said he had a secret studio at the back of his garden and his neighbours thought he couldn’t hear them talk. Then he answered some questions from us. Finally he let us buy his books.

Primary 5/6

Welcome to the blog for Primary 6.

This year in Primary 5/6 we have an exciting year planned. Our Term 1 topic will be the Victorians and we will be learning about important inventions and Scottish inventors to add a STEM aspect to the topic, along with life for the rich and poor people of Scotland under Queen Victoria’s rule.

Pupils from P5/6 will be taking ownership of their blogs this year and will post updates on a rotational basis commencing in September. You will also find regular photos and information on our class activities on the schools Twitter feed.

Welcome to the new academic year 🙂
