Fairtrade Fortnight
Dear Parent/Carer,
Our Fairtrade Pupil Group members have been working very hard to promote Fairtrade Fortnight which starts on Monday 24 February and finishes on Sunday 8 March 2020.
As preparation for Fairtrade Fortnight the Primary 4 pupil group members conducted a survey to find out which treats children would like to buy at the tuck shop we are planning to run. A subgroup of Primary 5s created posters to advertise the tuck shop around the school. The older members of the pupil group will be giving a speech and showing a PowerPoint to the rest of the school to raise awareness of Fairtrade. The Primary 7 members created a rota for the tuck shop (see below).
We would like to invite children to bring in cash to buy a Fairtrade treat from the tuck shop. We will be offering Geobake chocolate chip cookies, a variety of Divine chocolate bars and Fairtrade Jellybeans. The tuck shop will be running from Monday 2nd March until Friday 6th March. All items are £1.10 so please send your child with the correct amount if possible.
- Monday 2nd March – Primary 1 and Primary 2
- Tuesday 3rd March – Primary 3
- Wednesday 4th March – Primary 4 and Primary 5
- Thursday 5th March – Primary 6
- Friday 6th March – Primary 7
Yours sincerely,
Fairtrade Pupil Group

Eco-Committee and JRSO
Today we had our first Pupil Group meetings. Mrs Horne and Mrs Jamieson run the Eco-Committee and JRSO group. Members of this group have an action point for their next meeting on Wednesday 5th February. They are to research the UN Sustainable Development Goals and select three targets they would like the pupil group to achive over the next two years. One should be linked to litter, one to the sustainable goals and the third can be anything which makes our school more eco-friendly. We had lots of great ideas to get us started.
P6a all came back from their meetings quite excited to share what they had been doing. The Sports Leaders said they are thinking about a running track, STEM are investigating experiments which could be carried out across the school, Positive Peers are looking at introducing a calming area to help people destress at break before they discuss events with the Peer Mediators and the librarians said they are looking at new organisational systems.
Lots will be happening over the next couple of years so watch their blogs for more information in the future!
Mentos and Coke!
Today we completed our reactions topic with an experiment which used many of the skills we had learned in term 1. We have developed and applied our knoweldge and understanding of report writing, measuring volume and length, data handling and chemical and physical reactions .
After we carried out the experiment, adding mentos to cola, we measured the volume left to calculate the volume which had erupted during the reaction. Next week we will watch our videos back and use our ICT skills to measure the height of each eruption before creating graphs on excel. We had a few false starts but once Mrs Horne was holding the bottles the experiments went really well and we enjoyed seeing her covered in cola!
Reading to P2
This morning we read Fairy Stories we wrote with Mrs Jamieson to Mrs Wallace’s class. They really enjoyed our stories!
