The Fairtrade Committee, as well as all of the boys and girls, at New Monkland Primary have been working so hard to learn and implement Fairtrade, and have been awarded their new FairAchiever Award.
Over the next few years, we will continue to focus on Fairtrade and become the best Fairtrade School possible.
A big thank you to all of the parental support, too.

Teddy Bears Travels – Day 1
We are raising money for St. Andrews Hospice by taking part in Teddy Bears Travels. Each day this week our Teddy Bears will come to school and go on an adventure with us. Keep an eye on the blog for what we do each day!
The Importance of Hand Washing!
The boys and girls in primary four have been discussing, and demonstrating, the importance of hand washing so we don’t spread germs and get sick.
To show how germs can spread, the children all touched a piece of bread without washing their hands. We then displayed this piece of bread against a clean piece.
Look at our results after one week of carrying out the experiment. We make sure we’re super hand washers now ;).
P1 & P6 Learning Tasks
Our Primary 1 and Primary 6 children were working together, using the outdoor environment. Primary 1 were showcasing their knowledge of compound words. Primary 6 were demostrating their management and collaborative working skills. Both worked incredibly hard and it was a very successful lesson. Well done to all.

Big Cats in P4
Primary Four are learning about Big Cats in their new interdisciplinary context, and thoroughly enjoying it.
Today, the boys and girls drew tigers freehand and then used their collage skills to create the tiger’s natural habitat around the edge. Don’t they look fabulous?
Fact(s) of the day: Did you know the Tiger lives in South – Asia?
Did you know the tiger is the heaviest, strongest and most powerful of the Big Cats?
