  • Feed the Birds!

    As part of our Eco Plan the pupils have identified that we need to encourage more birds into the playground. They made bird feeders and placed them around the playground. They have been identifying and counting the number of birds coming into our playground. 

  • Speed in our local area: Using Speed Guns

    Our pupils ventured into the local area to look at the speed of cars passing through the village. They predicted that cars travel quickly through the village. They had experience of using Speed guns and then recorded their results.  They have decided to make posters to encourage drivers to slow down.

  • Preparation for the Big Schools’ Birdwatch

    P1-P3 were making bird feeders to encourage more birds into the school playground. They will be participating in the RSPB Big Schools’ Birdwatch in the next few weeks. 

  • Robert Burns

    Our pupils were learning all about our beloved poet Robert Burns last week.  They learned lots of interesting facts about Rabbie, his life and what inspired him to write.  They participated in a fun quiz!

    The competition was very close. Chapelgreen Primary certainly knew lots about Rabbie Burns! Well Done to our winners! 🙌🏆
