Beware! There are dinosaurs around the village!

 Primary 1 have been learning some intersting vocabulary and facts about the different types of dinosaurs.  We have learned about carnivores and herbivores, taken notes while watching and listening for useful information and then made Fact Files to share our learning.

Enterprising Actors

Primary 1 have been very busy writing to local businesses to ask for donations for hosting a tea, coffee and ‘sweet treat’ for parents and carers as part of our ‘Nativity’ experience.

A huge thanks to Morrisons Giffnock, Coop Clarkston, Scotmid and Eaglesham Bakers.  P1 & P2 have been busy making  cakes and biscuits.  We are hoping that ‘donations’ will be plentiful. All donations will be given to Glasgow Children’s Hospital.

Fairtrade Fortnight

Eaglesham Primary School and Nursery Class are Global Citizens and have been learning all about Fairtrade.

LI – To make decisions and take responsibility in my everyday experiences and play, showing consideration for others.

We brought in lots of Fairtrade items and packaging we had discovered at home.

“The farmer does all the hard work so he needs a fair price.” Phoebe(Yellow AM)

“I saw Fairtrade bananas at Aldi.” Martha (Yellow AM)

In Drama, we acted out the farmer’s quest for a “Fairtrade for a fair day’s work.”

“I was the farmer and I had to check I got a good price.” Femka (Green PM)
