Outdoor Learning in the Nursery
The children in the nursery have been exploring their outdoor environment. They investigated the forest, climbed on trees, jumped in puddles. During the session the children were role playing on the playground equipment!
Garden and Nature Equipment from Aviva
Thank you to the Parent Council Fund Raising Committee for securing funding from Aviva to purchase equipment to enhance the nature garden and playground. The children loved building the equipment.
The nursery will benefit from a planter to add to their garden area. The nature garden has been enhanced with a bug hotel, water butt, compost bin and weather station. All of this will promote teaching and learning across the curriculum. #LearningTogether.SucceedingTogether.

Minutes of Anti-bullying consultation and PC AGM
Minutes attached of last PC Meeting. This was consultation on the anti-bullying policy and our AGM.
Primary 5 have Fun with Fairtrade Ingredients
We know that Fairtrade foods can be more expensive but we have learned that farmers get a better price for their products and communities can use their Fairtrade Premium to make life better for everyone.
Today pupils in Primary 5 made Chocolate Banana Flower Muffins using Fairtrade cocoa, sugar, bananas and chocolate buttons! It was hard work but the results were worth it!
Primary 5 Play the Trading Game
Primary 5 pupils learned about Fairtrade across the world when they played the Trading Game this week. Each team was allocated a country, different resources and different amounts of money – and were tasked with producing shapes which earned them money!
 Pupils developed skills in using different equipment to create shapes, accounting, cooperation and communication! Teams used their money to buy additional resources or traded resources with other countries, India was the winning country with over £4000 earned!
