Bare Walls, empty trays…moving on!

As we cleared our classroom yesterday and removed our work, we were taking a walk down memory lane with old pieces of artwork and activities appearing!

Looking back we reflected on some of our Pr 5 highlights…

Scottish Opera ”We had a good time and we hope they come back next year.”

Trips to Culloden, Fort George and Findhorn ”We learnt lots.”

Sports Day ”Sports day was a great achievement for us all.”

The end of term Disco ”We enjoyed the paper game.”

The Hallowe’en Disco ”We all got soaked but we didn’t care.”

The four seasons comp ”We enjoyed planning and making it.”

The power of poetry comp ”We got there in the end.”

Mrs Murray commented: ”We’ve had the best year ever. Keep working hard.”

Thank you to Mrs Neil, Mrs MacArthur and Mrs Smith, but most of all a big thank you to Mrs Murray.

Findhorn Foundation Visit

The sun was shining and the birds were singing as we arrived at Findhorn this morning. We split into 4 groups for a tour of the site lead by some expert guides. We saw the around Field of Dreams area where  sustainable housing has been built. We sat in the Quiet Room for some contemplation time. We visited the Living Machine which turns waste water from the Foundation into clean water. There was so much to see and our guides added extra information to help us understand the sustainable way that the Foundation works. It was such an interesting place to visit and we all want to go and live there! 

For a lovely day out in the summer holidays , families are welcome to walk round or join an organised tour of the site.

We enjoyed our picnic lunch in Grant Park, Forres and  rolling down the hills! Thank you to our parent helpers for their time today.
