Nature not only provides us with all the things we need to live – from the air we breathe to the water we drink, and from the shelter we need to the economy we rely on – but also makes our lives better. However, its growing loss puts this all under threat.

This Earth Hour, join millions around the world to turn off the lights and speak up about why nature matters. A lot of pupils and Meldrum staff will be turning off our lights and electrical devices on Saturday 30th March at 8.30pm for an hour…will you?

“Primary 3 have been learning about 2D Shapes”

“A 2D Shape is a flat Shape”

“We have been making 2D shapes out of materials like pipe cleaners, lollipop sticks, paint, foam and straws”

“2D stands for two dimensional”

“2D shapes are different to 3D shapes”

“There are different types of 2D shapes like triangles, circles, hexagons, pentagons, octagons, squares and rectangles”

“A polygon is a 2D shape made with straight lines”

Wow! Some of our senior pupils challenged themselves trying new activities at Lowport.

It was very wet outside for some activities!

Escaping from the quicksand! (Only joking!)

Lunch on the rocks. Glad Rhona brought hot chocolate and soup for us.

Searching the beach.

Skills and bravery on show!

Excellent team work.

We celebrated World Book Day by bringing in our favourite books to share in class.

Some people dressed up. Here are some of our older pupils.

Primary 5 also enjoyed making their own books with help from our Reading Ambassadors.

We traveled to New Lanark yesterday as part of our topic ‘Work & Play – The Victorian Way’.

Whilst there we toured some historic mills and found out more about an extremely important man Robert Owen.

We saw some beautiful sites, participated in a Victorian classroom reenactment, and even enjoyed a ride on a ghost trail!

Thank you again Primary 6 for being a credit to Meldrum Primary School!

Primary 3 invited their parents and carers into school to join them for breakfast. They enjoyed sharing their literacy activities from the classroom.
