We are the P7s of Inveravon Primay School. My name is Henry Gott and I am eleven years old and have lived in England before I came up to stay in Ballindalloch. I like playing with my Lego and my dogs. I live with my mum, my dad and my brother. Sometimes we play the Xbox together and have water fights.

But we are moving on and have to go to Speyside High School. We are a little scared about going and a little happy because we will see all of our old friends and get to go to a new school. I will never forget the good times I have had in Inveravon and will miss all my friends. I like lots of sports so I think I will like High School a lot. I also like building things so I think I will like wood work.

My big brother William is also a bit nervous about going into secondary school paticularly about bullying but hopefully older pupils will look after us. He will miss his friends and the teachers.

Finlay is moving on to another school, he is going to Aberlour House. He is a bit scared about going but he is looking forward to making new friends and having more challenging lessons.

This page is what we do in our Eco group at Inveravon Primary School.

We have two groups for Eco Schools. They are called the Green Ambassadors (P1-4) and The John Muir Group (P5-7).

The Green Ambassadors meet every week with Mrs Lawson and Mrs Ferguson to work on the Sensory Garden and our new polytunnel. Sometimes we plant vegetables, fruit and plants in the polytunnel and then we plant them in the garden or in the flower tubs in the school playground. After all that we try to keep the school grounds tidy by doing some weeding.

We are very proud of our garden and playground because we are helping to look after wildlife, we love tasting the fruit and vegetables that we grow and we have lots of fun!

P5-7 are doing a project about John Muir and how he fell in love with the nature world. The reason why we are doing this is to try and win the John Muir award. The ways you can win are by discovering a wild place, exploring its wilderness, conserving a wild place and sharing your experiences. We will win a certificate if we enter the competition.

So far, Alyce and Sinead have made a poster about John Muir, Finlay and William made a flyer telling us about the life and times of John Muir, which will be sent home to parents this term, and Henry, Sam and John have created a PowerPoint all about his life. We plan to show this along with a play before the summer break.

After that, our plan is to develop the grounds behind the school into a wildlife area. This will include a wet area and we will hopefully show pupils from other schools around our wildlife area in the future.
