Primary 3 are learning all about running a business this term. They are all very excited about this. Their first step was to decide what they were going to do and to find the money to set this up. Hello Mrs Russell!!

Once Mrs Russell agreed to lend them the money they ordered the supplies needed and started to work on other aspects of the business.

First they had to choose a name for their company. After lots of writing, crossing out, editing and frustration as they tried to get it just right they came up with:

The Crazy Craft and Create Company.

Next they had to decide on a logo for their company. Below are a few of the first drafts.

This is the last week to bring in your big collections of batteries to enter into the Big Battery Hunt competition (deadline Monday). Details of all batteries collected and by whom are entered into the Big Battery Hunt prize draw for a bigger prize, but we will also have some smaller prizes for Meldrum pupils who have collected the most batteries. We are up against lots of schools in the prize draw, but you never know, we may be lucky. So far we have collected nearly 13,000 batteries in school! Thank you for all your support with this.

Primary 3 had a fabulous time at Livingston Football Stadium taking part in lots of different football activities.

In P2/3 with have been using materials to help develop our understanding of maths.

Our application has gone in to renew our eco school status for the next two years. We will hear in the next couple of months whether we have been successful. Fingers crossed we will have another green flag heading our way.

We are doing well collecting old batteries for recycling. Already we have sent one full container off to the recycling plant and we are waiting for a new container to arrive. You have until the end of April to send in batteries to be in with a chance of winning some prizes. We will however be keeping the collection container so after this date you can keep recycling batteries at the school.

This Saturday (24th March), at 8.30pm, we are asking you to take part in Earth Hour. Across the world millions of people will be switching their lights off for one hour as a symbol of their commitment to making personal changes to help the environment and to save energy at the same time. Primary 4 have made posters to remind us about Earth Hour and they have put them up around the school. Please take part if you can. Switch your lights off for one hour and use it as a time to do something different. You could read or play a game by candlelight or tell spooky stories around a campfire. Most importantly think of one thing that you could do from now on to help the environment. We can all make a difference.
