Outdoor Learning in P5
Primary 5 have been learning about angles in the school garden. They enjoyed looking for right angles, acute angles, obtuse angles and reflex angles.
We also loved working with Hidden Gardens to help develop our school gardens this week. We learnt about crop rotation and how to sow seeds. Hopefully our courgette, squash, french beans and runner beans will grow soon!
P2 Bug Hotel Planning!
As part of their garden topic, Primary 2 have began researching and planning the creation of a “Minibeast Sanctuary” in the school Sensory Garden. They know that encouraging insects and other small animals to the garden is good for the environment.
So far, the children have used the Internet to investigate different Bug Hotel designs and read about the sorts of materials that could be used for encouraging a range of wildlife. They have also drawn diagrams of how they would like the minibeast hide to look.
The boys and girls will scavenge for natural resources to make cosy crevices for the wildlife, although we would also appreciate donations of any of the resources listed below to help in the creation of the Bug Hotel.
Small plant pots, bamboo canes, clean bottles, some old building materials e.g bricks and drainage pipes. If you have any of these lying around your garden and would like to help us out, they would be much appreciated! 
Amazing Art
P5 were so excited to see their artwork in the gallery today! We loved looking at all the amazing paintings and drawings. You should all be so proud of yourselves!

First Heat of the Great Glen Bake Off
A huge well done to everyone who took part in the first heat of the Great Glen Bake Off. We were extremely impressed with the standard of cooking and the talented bakers we have in school! Well done to all the children in P1-3 who did a super job decorating cakes. Mrs Burke and the Captains tasted all the bakes and had the tough decision of choosing two bakes to put through to the final. Congratulations to Max and Leo who have made it through to the P4-7 final.
