Primary 6 enjoyed their trip to Pizza Express. We got a tour of the kitchens and the storage rooms and more importantly we got to make our own pizza from scratch! We tasted 1 slice……….Okay, 2 slices. And we managed to resist eating the rest until home time.

We put bird seed and meal worms in them.

We made our bird feeders by upcycling junk.

Some blew off in last week’s high winds but Mrs McGuire rescued them. We have also been getting P2/3’s help to fill up the other bird feeders on the fence.

It has a been busy week in the Rainbow Room this week. Every group thoroughly enjoyed helping to make a giant hand print rainbow for the room.

Hand printing to make a giant rainbow.

Yesterday we were very excited as our parents came to visit us in the Rainbow Room. We enjoyed showing them our room and all our work.

Brodie liked making the snack with his mum and Jack liked showing his mum the room and all his tokens.

Unfortunately our eco assessment has had to be postponed as our assessor is unwell. We would like to wish you a speedy recovery Briony and we will see you soon.

After working hard for weeks, Primary 4 earned enough marbles to reach the top of their Farthing Wood chart. We celebrated with all our favourite activities including ocarina. Since it was Divali, the classroom had lights and flowers. Goodness knows who arranged the snow. It was all very exciting and the children all played and shared beautifully. Well done P4. Can’t wait for the next one.

Divas and ITS SNOWING!

Mrs Stewart has read over our completed environmental reviews for this year and collated the results.

Here are the results.

We would like:
• Bins on the football pitch when it is completed
• Litter rewards/sanctions
• Playground equipment for climbing
• Shelter in the playground
• More activities/teaching about energy and waste
• Recycle more- lunch hall and kitchen waste
• Classes reminded to switch off electrical equipment after use
• Involve the community more in school life
• Outdoor vegetable planting

Some of these we can fix quickly and over the next few months we will be doing more to address them. Some of them will take longer and involve a lot of planning. However, we will see what we can do. Thank you for completing the reviews. We were sorry to hear that some classes had problems saving them. We will pass this information onto our eco assessor when she comes.

Primary 2/3, as part of their Health and Wellbeing topic, have been designing, making and tasting smoothies.

In writing we looked at a range of recipes and made up a recipe card for our delicious smoothie.
