Saturday was a fabulous day that saw the school community come together for our annual summer fair. It was great to see our Summer Fair take place in brilliant sunshine with everyone enjoying themselves. Our fabulous PTA really did us proud and raised the astonishing sum of £1,850 for PTA funds. That was an amazing sum and we would like to extend our sincere thanks to the PTA, to school staff and to all the parents, grandparents and children who came along to support the school. Our slideshow below captures the great day that was had by all!!

Room 1, 2, 3,and 4 go on a Bug Hunt
David, from Bug Life took the classes an adventure last week to find lots of bugs in our local area and raise the awareness of meadows for our invertebrates and other wildlife.
The children found snails, butterflies, beetles, worms, bees, spiders, earwigs, ants and caterpillars. They even saw bunny rabbits too! The children had a look at the bugs in the bug catchers then put them gently back in their home.
The children told David about our work on Mini Beasts and showed him our very own Bug Hotel in our school garden, he was very impressed!
Everyone had fabulous fun in the sun!
Preparing for the Fair
The boys and girls of Room 14 were busy last week making dough and them making moulds and decorating their creations to sell at the fair. Great team work!

Gaden Club Outing – Coatbridge Allotments
Yesterday our keen gardeners thoroughly enjoyed a visit to Blairhill Allotments. It was a lovely day and the children learned lots of new things and saw lots of interesting ideas that we can use in our school garden.
Here are some of the activities the children enjoyed –
We saw lots of recycled items being used in the allotments such as – old yoghurt tubs being used for plant pots, pallets used for planting displays, old railway sleepers used for raised beds and growing plants in unusual items like a bath.
We played a guessing game where we had to match the seed to the vegetable.
We saw compost heaps and discussed why gardens need worms.
We saw how a water butt works.
We noticed that some gardeners had planted flowers beside their vegetables to attract bees and butterflies.
A great time was had by all.
A big thank you to Vivien and Kate for organising the visit and activities.
