P7 learn about different Biomes.

Over the Christmas break Primary 7 were tasked with a personal project comparing the UK Biome with another elsewhere in the world. A Biome is a large area of land with a distinct climate and forms of life. This may span over a number of different countries.

The work produced by Primary 7 was fantastic and it was obvious a great deal of effort had been made. Miss Garrett from the High School visited last week and listened to each of the children make a short presentation on their findings. She left having been impressed by the knowledge and the way that the class were able to talk about their learning.

Green Flag success

Briony, one of the assessors for Eco Schools Scotland, paid us a visit today to decide whether we had completed enough work to award us another Green Flag award.

She spoke to the Eco Committee, pupils, staff and took a tour of the school. She looked at our evidence folders, displays and the school development plan. Briony was delighted at our progress with the school grounds and also with our focus areas for 2014-2016 which are Litter, Health and Sustainability (Sustaining our World) and for this reason she was pleased to give us the award. She will send a new flag and a summary report shortly, which we will share with you all.

Congratulations everyone. A job well done.

Christmas Jumper Day

The pupils at Meldrum Primary School wore their Christmas jumpers to school today, raising money for charity at the same time.

A total of £282.33 pence was raised for CLIC Sargent, a charity to help families deal with childhood cancer.  This was a fantastic effort from all involved and a great way to end the term.

Well done!

Rugby in P5

P5 have been very fortunate to have had rugby training this term. Over the weeks we’ve learned new skills and rules and have progressed to playing touch rugby matches. We have really enjoyed the experience and lots of us have been inspired to join a club to keep training and playing.

Here are some things we’ve learned:

‘Now I know to do a ‘W’ shape with my hands to catch the ball. There are 15 people in a rugby team so 30 on the pitch all together. You can’t pass forward but have to run forwards then pass the ball backwards.’ Ellie T

‘I am now able to pass the ball properly by pointing at where you want the ball to go as you throw it. I’m better at working in a team.’ Paul

‘I am able to evade people better and to pass the ball more accurately.’ Now I’d like to get more rugby involved at Meldrum.’ Ryan G
