We would like to say a great big thank you to Greenside Nursery, Newhouse, who donated over 200 plug plants to the school. Every child in the school has planted up their flower into a bigger pot. When the weather improves, and the danger of frost is past, they will be planted our in the garden. Here are some photos of Primary 4 busy gardening!

Eco Garden
Some of the children were shocked to find lots of glass bottles and broken glass in the garden. They had been thrown over the fence. There were sharp pieces of glass all over the slabs, gravel and picnic bench. It could have caused serious injury! We hope it doesn’t happen again.
ZooLab visit to Primary 4
ZooLab paid a visit to Primary 4 on Monday 11th May. Anthony brought some weird and wonderful creatures with him. The children were able to hold and touch a corn snake, a giant cockroach, an African snail and a giant millipede. They also saw a tarantula, a scorpion and a tree frog. Anthony told the children some interesting facts about each creature and explained how animals are classified into groups such as molluscs, vertebrates, arachnids, etc.
Visit from Guide Dogs for the Blind – P4
Primary 4 have been finding out about the Five Senses. They had a visit from Guide Dogs for the Blind. The puppy trainers told the class all about how the dogs are trained and about the difficulties faced by blind people. Nesta and Isla were as good as gold and all the children were able to clap and pet the dogs.

So far they have made Lava Lamps using oil, water and salt, created explosive volcanoes and removed egg shells without breaking the eggs!! The messier the experiment the better!!
Road Safety Day – P4
Primary 4 completed a variety of activities during Road Safety Day, including online games, written tasks, watching video clips and partner work to remind them of road safety rules and the possible consequences of dangerous or careless behaviour.
Solar Eclipse!
P6 had an amazing opportunity today to see the solar eclipse! We all went out with our special glasses on. It was really cloudy and we didn’t think we would see anything but we did see when the clouds cleared! Sophielee said the sun looked like a banana as the moon covered it! Keira said the sun we could see looked like a strip of fire. Kenzie thought it looked like a paper cut out with orange paper underneath and black paper on top. Lewis thought the sun looked like a smiley face. As the moon covered more of the sun it started to get dark then as the moon moved on, it got lighter again. P6 thought it was beautiful and overwhelming!
