P7 went to Tesco’s to see what kind of fruit and veg was from the UK, for our one planet picnic .We split the class, one half looked at the fruit the other half did the veg. It was very fun. We recorded where the fruit and veg came from. Lots of it comes from other countries but we were only interested in local, Scottish produce.
On Wednesday 19th September our school held a special event for the opening of our outdoor classroom, The Inside Outside Eco Pod and our one planet picnic.
The foods or ingredients were all local, seasonal or ethically sourced. There were bananas and strawberries with chocolate, flavoured milkshakes, pavlova, smoothies and much more.
Some guests came like the provost, Tony Bragg and parents. There were free sausages and burgers and the parents had a barbeque. We sat on mats with our food. We had 3 tickets to spend on the food. Every class had prepared a snack. The provost cut the ribbon to open the Inside Outside Eco Pod. I showed Tony Bragg and the Provost around the Inside Outside Eco Pod. The speakers were led in by Jordan Montgomery.
On Wednesday 13th June P5N potatoes ate the potatoes that we have been growing for many weeks. A couple of people in our class went up to the staff room to clean them. After that they put it a pot to boil for us to eat, because there was only small potatoes not big ones so we couldn’t make baked potatoes. After that we ate them. It was yummy and really good I enjoyed it . Jordan
On Thursday Primary 4 went on a minibeast hunt, and we got spilt up in separate groups and went to search. We found a lot of minibeast it was great fun, since we got to explore different habitats. It was also a roasting hot day, so we had to stop for shade now and again!

We had a visit from Jen Barrett at assembly on Monday. She was telling us about the new bins that we will be getting at our house soon. They are for any food that you don’t want anymore. We are looking forward to using these nins at home.

Our potatoes have been growing for 17 days! They are getting really tall. The rocket potatoes are taller than they Olympus. We measured them and they are 43cm!
On Monday 18th March the whole school planted trees in the school grounds. The trees are covering half of the school grounds . There were lots of different kinds of trees like oak, hawthorn, birch, hazel and rowan. There were 420 trees. We had to space them 2 metres apart from each other. When we were finished planting the trees we got free hats to keep. The nursery, p1, p2, p3, p4, p5n, p5mac and p7 were planting trees. But p6 didn’t because they were doing Max in the Middle. These trees were for The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations and we got them from The Woodland Trust.
