Celebrating Science!

Leave a comment

This year our 3 House groups will be named after Scottish Scientists who have made  important contributions to our lives. We have recently held  elections for the three ‘House Captains’ and a member of the teaching staff will have a supervisory role for a particular ‘House group’. Everyone is encouraged to earn  points  and the House Captains add these  to the grand total each week.

House Groups for 2013-2014

Fleming House Captain – Megan McGivern

Balfour House Captain – Ruth Burns

Dewar House Captain – Billie Smith

The children will be involved in many interesting science investigations throughout the year and we will be holding a ‘Science In The Spotlight’ week in October.

Stay tuned for more information.

I explore and discover where foods come from as I choose, prepare and taste different foods. HWB 0-35a

When preparing and cooking a variety of foods, I am becoming aware of the journeys which foods make from source to consumer, their seasonality, their local availability and their sustainability. HWB 1-35a

Primary 1/2 have investigated chicks and eggs through their purposeful play activities. Amongst the wide range of activities, the children have been cooking eggs and baking lots of yummy treats.

We are continuing to work hard to achieve Eco Schools status for our school .  We are holding an Eco Action Week to help us raise awareness  of particular issues and focus on our priorities this term. We will be involved in lots of fun Eco activities from Monday 15th April to Friday 19th April. Activities include –

  • A visit from St. Andrew’s Hospice
  • A woodland walk with our local Forest Rangers
  • Planting at the allotment with our friends from B&Q, You Can Do It team.
  • A visit from our local RSPB representative

Our Eco Committee have been taking a close look at our school grounds and will be consulting all of our pupils to make an action plan to improve our play facilities and outdoor learning opportunities.
