Members of P1, P1/2 and P3 worked hard to produce this wonderful autumn display. Some of the work was done collaboratively and required patience and perseverance. It has been put on the wall outside the Hall so it makes us smile on the way to the our lunch each day. A big thank you to Connor and Eryn in P6 who helped with some of the black outlining and cutting.

The eco reps have been busy doing weeding and litter picking around the school. 5 bags of weeds were gathered! These were then taken to the council composting facility because our compost bins are too full at the moment to hold them all. We shouldn’t now need to do any more weeding until the Spring and Summer. Litter picking is now the responsibility of the classes, following the rota. Remember ‘Don’t drop it, put it in your pocket. Be keen, clean and ECO GREEN!’

This term Primary 7 are looking at Healthy Eating and trying their hand at cooking some healthy meals. Last week the class made a Tuna Cous Cous dish and this week the class were making Carrot and Coriander soup. Most of the class have been willing to try and taste their food and some have been surprised at the results!
Primary 7 will be cooking most Tuesdays this term so it would be useful if they could bring a container into school with them. This will allow all the the family the chance to sample their efforts!

This term P1/2 are learning about ways to keep themselves healthy. We have had a visit from Jammin Andy who taught us some moves on the dance floor to keep our bodies fit. It was great fun and the children worked well with a partner and listened carefully to instructions. Well done to Emma and Donni who had the difficult task of leading the dances, with support from Andy!
Last week we learned the correct way to wash our hands and this week we are discussing the importance of brushing our teeth. Over the next few weeks we will be finding out about healthy and not so healthy foods. We have a healthy food shop in our classroom role play area where the children can practise what they have been learning.

In Primary 3 one of the aspects we are looking at this term is Food and Health. We will be learning that the body requires a balance of foods from each food group to be healthy; overeating can lead to problems with body functions, exercise helps contribute to a healthy lifestyle, the names, sets and functions of different types of teeth and how to look after your teeth and keep the mouth healthy. So far we have looked at symptoms of common diseases caused by germs, how they are spread and methods of preventing and treating diseases. To stop germs from spreading Primary 3 have learned how to wash their hands correctly after the toilet, sneezing, coughing, touching animals etc. Here are some pictures of our handwashing exercise.

Primaries 4 and 5 showed off their dancing skills on Tuesday in a workshop with Jammin’ Andy. We learned loads of new moves, and were especially good at taking turns teaching each other.
Thanks to Chloe in P5 for taking all these great photos.

Meldrum had a visit from ‘Jammin’ Andy McKechnie today. Andy is a motivation speaker on Health and Wellbeing and mixes messages on Health and Wellbeing with physical movement and exercise.
The whole school had an assembly in the morning and everyone (including teachers!) took part in performing a dance based around both the Olympics and Commonwealth Games.
Individual classes then had sessions with Andy and focused on more specific skills.
The whole school had an enjoyable and active day!
