Together Time – LIGHT

This week our Together Time was about LIGHT! We thought about how light was important to us in different ways, such as dressing bright to stay safe during the dark winter nights, how light helps us to grow through absorbing vitamin D and can alter our mood, plants needing light to grow to produce oxygen for us to survive, and Hindu and Christian stories about the importance of light in religion. It was an action packed assembly for sure!

To link to this, this Friday is DRESS DOWN DAY! Our theme is bright colours. Colourful clothes, shoes, accessories and maybe even hair will help to promote the messages discussed at Together Time. It’s Time to get creative!!

Earth Hour 2013

Our Eco team lead Greenrigg Primary School pupils and staff through Earth Hour on Friday.

The whole school spent an hour on Friday Morning, between 8:45am and 9:45am in darkness to raise awareness about the need to take action on climate change.

Primary 7 took a greater challenge in switching off all the electricity in their classroom!

The official Earth Hour 2013 is being held on March 23, 2013 from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Thursday chick update

Nearly all of the chicks are hatched ,there are only 4 more eggs to hatch. Today we helped to clean the brooder and we held the chicks and they where chirping. They were very happy to see us and were comfortable enough to fall asleeep as we held them, a part from Allison’s who was a bit jumpy. We think they are very cute and fluffy.
