We kicked off our Eco/Health week with a visit from the SSPCA. We learned more about this important animal welfare charity and what we can do to support them.

Calderbank Community Clean Up
We had a wonderful morning down at the canal as the sun shone and the local community came out to support us.
Linton McBurnie, for Scottish Canals told us some interesting facts about the canals in our local area and helped us to be ‘responsible citizens’ by organising a litter pick along the banks of the canal.
A huge thank you to all of our parents and friends we came along today, your help and support is very much appreciated.
Lunchtime Reward Time
Our lunch tables are named after 5 of the countries competing in the Commonwealth Games. Each week the children earn stars for their table by showing they are following our 3 targets.
Australia and South Africa were the first table winners and thoroughly enjoyed their visit to the local play park.

P1/2 Green Fingers !
P1/2 were helping to weed our raised beds and plant flowering bulbs for us all to enjoy. We spotted some creepy crawlies and even had some time for a play in the nursery garden.
I have helped to grow plants and can name their basic parts. I can talk about how they grow and what I need to do to look after them.
