Kirkshaws are in the Airdrie and Coatbridge Advertiser this week showcasing some of the work and activities the staff and pupils undertook during our recent Eco/Health week. We hope you all get an opportunity to have a look.

Our Eco / Health week has been a great success with pupils and staff taking part in a variety of Eco and health activities. Highlights have been the body hooping, bulb planting, painting the garden furniture, P1 visiting visiting the ‘Safe Play’, P3 to P7 Healthy Picnic and Warburtons Bread making healthy sandwiches with P3. We have learned lots about how to look after our environment and how to create our own healthy lifestyle.

We are looking forward to talks from St Andrew’s Hospice and workshops from Road Safety later this week.

We are looking forward to all the classes sharing their Health / Eco Week experiences at assembly on Morning.

Our Eco / Health Week started with a bang yesterday when all classes had the opportunity to take part in some Body Hooping. Jane Brady, our Body Hooping expert, took us through our paces.

Warburtons Bread visited some of our primary 3 pupils and talked to us about Healthy Eating and helped us to make a healthy sandwich. It was both fun and yummy!

This morning our Eco Team led our Eco Assembly. It was full of useful ideas on how to be ‘green’.

We also sang our school Eco Song. Press hear to listen to Our Eco Song

Our ‘Ba-doop-doops’ also performed their new Eco song.

The week beginning the 12th of September the children will be taking part in a range of Health and Eco activities including bulb planting, tree planting, seed sowing, plant tub tidying, body hooping,environmental art, rugby and Safe Play Visits.

Throughout the week we will be working outside regardless of the weather. The children will therefore need a waterproof jacket, wellies or old trainers.
