Gardening Afternoon

Many hands made light work for the gardening afternoon at Happyhansel. There were beds to dig over and plant, seedlings to prick out and re-pot and weeds to be pulled. Ably led by our green-fingered staff, Mrs Garrick and Mrs Fleck, an army of pupils and parent helpers got to work and achieved a huge amount in a short period of time. We look forward to eating some of the vegetables we have planted once they have grown and we hope to raise some money again through selling the bedding plants later in the term.
It was lovely to be able to welcome parents back to the school to work alongside their children.

Voar Redd Up

Both Primary classes were involved in the Voar Redd Up last Wednesday. It was a lovely afternoon and once the pupils were kitted out with gloves, high visibility vests and bags we set off.

P1-4 headed in the direction of the shop and spent most of their time clearing the beach and high water mark by the bridge. P5-7 set off along New Road all the way to the Pier. They cleared the beach just past the pier and then returned to clean the beach near the graveyard. The children worked enthusiastically for the whole afternoon and we would also like to thank the parent/carer  volunteers who came along to help.

Shoeboxes

Happyhansel took part in this year’s Shoebox Appeal.  Thank you  to anyone who donated items. The Pupil Council members from each class are pictured with the boxes below.

A big thanks also needs to go to Amy, Sadie and their mum for helping Mrs Garrick assemble the boxes.
