Teddy Bears Picnic

Try at Home Challenge-One Planet Picnic, a picnic that is good for you and good for the planet!

Can you have a Teddy Bears Picnic as part of Earth Day 2020 on Wednesday 22^nd April? Could you have a picnic in your living room or in your own garden at home and send us in some photos?

Things to think about:

Choose what you eat for your picnic but can you also include one item that has been produced or grown in Scotland or some local and seasonal food too?
Can you reduce food packaging and waste or perhaps recycle any food packaging and wrappers to make something after your picnic?

If you don’t have a teddy then any toy is welcome to come along!

Congratulations to the 4 teams who represented Boghall at Bathgate Academy on Tuesday. All of our teams played very competitively and we managed to win 1st and 2nd place medals! Mrs Williamson, Miss Potter and Mrs Monteith were very impressed with our sportsmanship and respect for the other schools there, despite some very difficult referee decisions. Well done Primary 6!

The Human Digestive System in P6/5

Leave a reply

As part of health and science this week, P5 from P6/5 have been learning about balanced diets and the human digestive system. They created body maps showing what they thought happened to food in our bodies then they had the challenge to show the process a banana sandwich goes through when being digested. It was a messy process involving cutting for the teeth, mashing and adding water to represent chewing, putting it in a bag and adding lemon juice to simulate stomach acid, then finally passing it through tights to represent food being expelled from your body. All pupils learned a lot and are now aware of what happens when you eat.
