Today we took part in the RSPB’s Big Schools’ Birdwatch. We got our waterproofs and wellies on and headed out to the garden to sit and look and listen for the different species of birds that live in our area. Stay tuned for the results of our survey!
As part of our Africa topic, we will be looking at ‘The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.’
This book ⬇ is going to help us understand what it is and what it means for us and other people.
P5 welcomed 200 brown trout eggs last week and we have been looking after them very carefully. We have been monitoring the temperature, adding ice to keep it cool and checking for eggs that haven’t survived.
P5 are so enthusiastic and we are looking forward to Wullie paying us another visit on Wednesday.
During the last few weeks, the newly formed Eco Committee have been working hard during Leadership Academy to begin our journey towards achieving Eco School status. We began by carrying out an ‘Environmental Review’ in order to identify the needs of our school. Some of the older children created our new Eco Logo and incorporated the school badge into it. Stay tuned for some pictures of our committee tomorrow!
Primary 1 had a super time making leek, potato and carrot soup. I was so impressed by how well they followed hygiene procedures and how safely they used kitchen equipment.
We had a great time with Paula, our Hidden Gardens expert today; we cleared some of the vegetable beds, tidied the polytunnel and picked some fresh plums from the fruit trees!
P4 went out to do some more work in the garden. Our runner beans, courgettes and cabbages are doing well and we planted out some tomato plants.
Some of the boys and girls helped to plant courgettes, cabbages and runner beans in our vegetable beds. We hope our crops are are good as last year!
Last week, Primary 4 were hard at work researching “Earth Hour.” We used ‘i-Movie’ on the i-pads to create our own news reports to raise awareness of climate change.
Did you take part in Earth Hour on Saturday the 25th March 2017?
Here are some of our Confident Individuals explaining what Earth Hour is and how you can make a positive change to our world.
Primary 5/6 have had a great week making 3 different dishes for each of them to enjoy. On Monday it was macaroni cheese and some pupils were not too keen to make this as it had lots of cheese! Tuesday was far more popular as we made pancakes in order to support their learning of Shrove Tuesday. Needless to say, the option of the toppings made it all that little bit better.
Today, we got to further develop the skills of reading a recipe, cutting, grating, frying, shaping, timing and reducing a sauce. It was great to see the pupils working together and working through each process. A great week and we are all looking forward to our next block of cooking.
Well done P5/6!!
